Kitchen desks can play an essential role in a kitchen, so how to choose the best one?

Incredible Desk Ideas For A Small Kitchen

It is quite tough to find the best desk style in a tiny/small kitchen since every item should be compacted and has various uses to utilize every square meter. Because of that, some convenient desk ideas below can be used as references for you.

1. Built-In White Diagonal Corner Desk With Floating Cupboard

Utilizing the below-cupboard area by placing a small corner desk is a wise decision. The desk, cupboard, and chair have a white tone that is matched with the overall theme. To add a highlighted detail to this look, I suggest using the glossy granite desk surface.

Since it is space-saving, this kitchen desk option is good enough for an ideal office kitchen look. Therefore, installing this kitchen desk design in the room corner might help you address your problem if your workstation area is pretty modest.

2. Convenience Wall-Mounted Desk

This wall-mounted design is more convenient than others. You can fold the tabletop onto the wall for more neatness when not in use. I suggest you choose an option including a small shelf to put small items, such as pens or other stationery.

3. Two-Door Inset Cupboard With Compact Built-In Desk

With an inspirational small house kitchen design, I highly recommend you to opt for this workstation idea.

Instead of applying full-white details, this cupboard-built-in desk is mixed with the classic contrast shade, white with dark gray/black. The small floating shelf also includes a tiny drawer that can also be a great place to put small things like keys or else.

This is the general guide you might need on how to organize a kitchen desk.

6. Cherry Painted Cabinets With Kitchen Desk

From the cherry color to the classic design of the floating cupboard and cabinet, this look exudes a strong traditional feel. To maximize the use of the empty surface on your spacious counter, it is not a bad idea to place a workstation there.

Perfect color matching deep blue and white makes this kitchen desk design look modern and delightful. The perfect large kitchen’s bay window placement offers a lot of sunlight into the room that helps this look become even more exquisite.

You can utilize the recessed space of the wall (due to the design creating gaps between the pillars) to make a desk.

Since the general color is a simple white, you can use pieces of polished, light-painted hardwood (beige/vanilla/brown sugar hues) to make floating shelves and desk surfaces. It helps those details not to overwhelm the overall theme of the room.

This is the most detailed guide you need to make your own floating desk.

If you want to make some focal points to your kitchen desk area, it is essential to think of several decoration ideas. And you are surely not alone since I have your back!

16. Full-Caramel Brown Wallpaper Backsplash
