Mini Desks Offer Compact Solutions For Smaller Spaces

When you need to set up a small workspace that doesn't take up too much floor space, a scaled-down desk offers the perfect solution. At West Elm, we offer a fantastic collection of mini desks featuring versatile designs suited to tighter areas. Many of these desks are smaller versions of our popular full-sized desks, so you know they are well-built and brimming with style. They make an ideal spot for reading, writing or working on your laptop. They can also make an excellent vanity.

Find a Mini Desk That Suits Your Style

Mini desks and other types of small-space furniture may be scaled down, but they come in all of the same great designs as the rest of our collection. Choose from a selection of modern styles with sleek silhouettes and clean lacquer finishes. For a more industrial look, opt for a mixed-material design featuring beautifully grained mango wood and bronze-finished metal legs. If you'd prefer a desk with a glam touch, then antique brass details will give it that extra sparkle. A mid-century desk with an angular design and tapered legs also offers easy style, and you can pair it with other pieces from our mid-century office collection.

Functionality Features to Consider

Another important factor to consider when choosing a mini desk is how you want to use it. If you need some built-in storage to keep the desktop clean, then drawers or an open shelf are a must. Our desks are available in many different storage configurations to suit your needs. Some designs also come with handy adjustable levelers that will ensure a steady work surface on areas of uneven floor.

For a desk that you know will remain in good condition for many years to come, take a look at those with a contract grade designation. Contract grade furniture is built to meet commercial demands, which means that it can easily stand up to heavy use in the home.

Sustainably Sourced Options

In addition to their appealing styles and features, many of the desks among our mini desk collection are also sustainably sourced. Depending on the design, this means that the desk is crafted from either sustainable mango wood that is finished producing fruit, or from wood that comes from an FSC®-certified forest. FSC®-certification ensures that forests are responsibly managed and harvested, helping to ensure a healthy ecosystem.

Mini desks work great in the bedroom, a small office, the living room and even the kitchen. If you want a place to sit down and do some work in a room that doesn't have too much extra space, then discover the selection of small and compact desks available at West Elm.
