Desks

The desk is the essential element of any study space, no matter how much room you may have. This West Elm collection includes an array of desks, allowing you to choose one that's well-suited for your home. Mid-century desks and mini desks feature sleek tapered legs, an ample tabletop and convenient drawers for storage. For a more modern touch, consider a white lacquer desk with elegant bronze legs. Or, go rustic with a reclaimed pine wood desk, which adds vintage charm to your space. Your desk defines your study space decor, so choose it first and then incorporate other elements into your decor.

storage space

With back to school time comes books, binders and so much more. To keep your family's study space well organized, you need practical storage solutions. Check out our Learn From Home Shop to outfit your space with smart storage. Start with a sleek ladder bookshelf that provides several storage shelves without taking up too much floor space. Or, take storage to the wall with a set of sturdy wood wall-mounted shelves that are perfect for storing school supplies and other gear. If you have a spacious room, add a wide bookcase that will keep textbooks, notebooks and more stored and accessible.

Decor and More

Add the finishing touch to your home study space with the right decor and accessories. Help keep family life and school schedules organized with a dry erase calendar that's perfect for planning weekly or monthly activities.

Accent the desk with accessories that keep school supplies like pens, pencils, paper clips and more organized and within reach. A pair of bookends offers a convenient spot to store books that your child will need to access often.

Finally, brighten up that study space with a desk lamp. Discover sleek LED table lamps that feature built-in USB ports for easy electronics charging. Or, choose a sturdy table lamp with a classic drum shade to add a timeless touch to your study space decor.

Back-to-school time brings with it excitement and perhaps a touch of apprehension. Help your family feel ready for the year ahead with a well-appointed study space thanks to the Back to School Shop to start the year off right.
