If you don't have a dedicated office space at home, you can still create a work-from-home area that meets your needs with clever items from Pottery Barn. Browse for a secretary desk to add to your bedroom, living room or other living space. These desks feature plenty of storage and a drop-down work area to facilitate all kinds of school and work tasks.

Small Space Desks

The secretary desk is the most versatile and useful type of desk that you can find for small spaces. When they're closed up, they look like a basic storage unit, but by pulling down the drop-down workspace, you'll have a surface for writing or laptop work. They come in simple color options like Montauk white, espresso and gray wash to complement the color scheme in just about any room. They're crafted of a mix of solid wood, engineered wood and MDF (medium-density fiberboard).

The drop-down tray can typically support anywhere from 17 to 25 pounds, so it can handle items like laptops, textbooks and papers. Behind the tray are several small cubbies that are perfect for storing work supplies or decorative items. There are also cord cutouts to help you manage charging cables. Add a kitchen chair to complete your small work-from-home area.

Since these units typically include plenty of storage drawers above and below the workspace, they make a great addition to any room. Use them to store your most-used supplies and books, so they're easy to access when you work from home. You can also use the storage drawers to hold clothing, linens, dishes and other items that would otherwise clutter up your living spaces.
