In modern dwellings we often face a problem of lack of space, so we have to look for solutions, unite areas, find functional furniture and do everything possible to save the precious space. One of the popular ideas is combining a bedroom with a workspace in case you need one at home. It may be a separate zone in your bedroom or just a small desk somewhere in the corner, it’s up to you. You’ll notice one common characteristic of successful placement of a desk in a bedroom is that it doesn’t try to be a standout statement piece. It matches the bedroom’s existing style and looks like it belongs. Another characteristic is that desks are either kept very minimal and clean, or they are treated like a piece of furniture one often finds in a bedroom, like a vanity or nightstand, and decorated with lamps and picture frames. The chairs are also kept relatively inconspicuous.
Separate Workspaces In Bedrooms
If there’s enough space, you may separate the working nook somehow, for example, placing it in its corner or window niche or somewhere else. But still the desk should continue the bedroom décor and look cohesive with all the rest in the bedroom. Choose the piece in the same style as the rest of the space, match the colors and it will look as if it was always intended.

Desks By The Window
Placing a desk by the window is the most popular solution for a bedroom as it gives enough light for work. In this case don’t choose a too big desk and don’t clutter it too much not to prevent the natural light coming in. again choose a desk that matches the whole space, and it will look super natural and double as a vanity. One more idea here is making a windowsill desk, just make sure that your windowsill is comfortable and durable enough to work on it.

Desks Next To The Bed
If you are tight on space, placing the desk instead of one of the nightstands is a good idea, so it’ll fulfill both functions. I strongly recommend to match the desk with the rest of the room in its style or color, so that it looks like a real large nightstand. It can also act as a vanity or whatever else you need, and everything you will need will be always at hand. Find more cool ideas below!
