If working from home has taught me one thing, it’s that I should be appreciative of the space I have. It’s not a lot - picture a two-bed maisonette - but it’s more than some. That said, it has also made me realise how much room I could save without the added bulkiness of the desk I purchased in a hurry circa March 2020. It has honestly taken over and, no matter how many times I seem to put things away, it’s always a mess.
Enter: floating desks. Exactly what it says on the tin, the best floating desks can be attached to the wall and tucked away to save a tonne of floor space, optimising what’s known in the interior world as ‘dead space’. Just like fold-away desks do. That empty area under your stairs? That’s the kind of area you could utilise for storage or a wall mounted desk, for example.
While there are plenty of desks for small spaces to park your fancy office chair in front of, a floating desk has an added wall art-like appeal. Granted, somewhere you display your laptop, daily planner and water bottle probably isn’t as Pinterest worthy as the prints that adorn your space, but it makes for a much less cluttered space.

Providing a sturdy work surface that allows you to get your job done is obviously the main purpose, but floating desks also easily double as small dining tables or shelves to decorate with scented candles and coffee table books.
