Desks differ not only in shape and color, but also in size, material and design. The choice is not always easy! Since most of us spend many hours there, it needs to be well chosen.
Below we will accompany you on your search for the right desk for your home office.
Checklist for purchasing your desk
What you should consider when choosing:
-
Find the right position
-
Find the right size. With sufficient space to move around and under the desk.
-
Choose the right width and length
-
The height is tailored to you, ideally the desk is height-adjustable
-
Die optimale Form: Empfehlung für ergonomisches Arbeiten - gerade Kanten
-
Choose a color and material that suits the room.
-
Choose the material that suits your needs and requirements. In any case, the desk should be robust.

Choose the functions you need (storage space? height adjustment? cable passage?)
This is how you find the right desk position
In order to find the right position, there are a few things to consider. Below we have summarized the DO'S and DONT'S so that you can find the right place for your desk and then choose the right size.
DO'S:
-
It is best to place the desk on the side at a 90° angle to the window. This way you can see out the window and get optimal light without being blinded or having reflections on the screen.
-
If possible, position the desk so that you can see both the door and the room. This allows you to keep track of people entering and what is happening in the room.
DONT'S:
-
Avoid placing the desk facing the window as this can cause glare from the sun. Not only does this strain your eyes, but it can also affect your view of the screen.
-
Avoid placing your desk with your back to the window, as this can cause annoying reflections and shadows on the screen.
