How To Find The Right Working Desk Size For You

Whether it’s the actual office space, study room, or your self-created home office, the key to great productivity is a working desk. Of course, your concentration, thoughts, and other things are essential too. But it’s the desk that provides you with the right surface and space to convert your thoughts into meaningful work.

The Type of Desk you Want

Yes. The type of desk matters when you’re trying to find the right desk size. First decide whether you want a standing desk, writing desk, or a regular sitting desk. When it comes to selecting a desk, there is no one-size-fits-all kind desk size that you can go for. Your height and the kind of desk surface you need would also help you find the right desk size.

Working Space You Need

After the desk type comes the working space, you need. It is important to keep the storage space in mind when deciding on a new desk. Think of the things that you would want to keep on your desk all time, like books, stationery, your laptop, or desktop. A home office desk that can easily accommodate all your things close by will not only keep your working space mess-free but also keep your mind clear.

Deciding the Desk Height

Although, a standard desk height that most desks come up with ranges between 29" and 30" but because of the different body sizes, the desk of that size may not necessarily be the right size for you.
To get the right desk measurements, these two things are important:
  • The desk height from the floor to the tabletop
  • distance from the floor to the top of the desk

You would want a desk that is not only perfect with your height level but also matches your chair height. The right desk and chair's height ratio must be right for you to have a comfortable experience. And while you’re at it, also make sure to take into consideration your room size so that the desk isn’t too big for your room.
