Wherever you want to put your desk, just remember to reserve enough space in the room for the rest of your furniture like chairs, drawers, and cabinets.
There are also plenty of options when it comes to which desk you would like for your home office. Some workers like a classic, rectangular desk while others prefer something with softer, rounded edges. The great thing is that there are enough choices available to make everyone happy.
