Keeping the toys under control

A good desk is the key to a productive home office. It will need to provide a space you can work at and should hold any papers, stationery and computer monitors or keyboards that you need. One way to maximise the potential of your workspace is to have it custom-made. Here are some reasons why.

The space

Firstly, a custom-made workspace desk can be made to fit a wide variety of areas. A standard rectangular desk will only be suitable for a long straight stretch of wall. Custom-made desks will go absolutely anywhere. They can be made to fit a nook in the wall or can turn a corner, effectively giving you two desks in one. The advantage to this is that it gives you the opportunity to turn more spaces into an office: an area that just seemed too small or badly shaped can be made into a productive area once the desk has been constructed to fit.

The user

Secondly, different people need different desks. Some people are happier if the desk is a little higher or a little lower than the standard height. Others may not be able to reach so far and may find that most desks are too wide, opting instead for a narrower one. Perhaps legroom is more important to you than under-desk storage. There is no point having a desk that is not suited to the person using it, and by designing the desk around yourself, you will ensure that you have a workspace that will make you as productive as possible.

The desk

Finally, there is more to a desk than just the workspace on top of it. Workspace desks can be designed with a variety of accessories and extras. You may want shelves or drawers included underneath the desk. Holes in the desks for cables will be necessary if you are intending to use a computer, along with cleats and cages to hold the cables. You can also have a sliding drawer beneath the desk to hold a keyboard. These can be custom-made along with the rest of the workspace desk to suit your own needs.

When your workspace adapts itself to you rather than the other way round, your comfort and productivity will increase accordingly. Any custom office furniture designer will be happy to work with you to create a desk that suits you personally and that will help your business.
