Carving out a comfy yet workspace in a confined area can be… hard.
But the thing is, the size of your space should never limit the scope of your dreams. That’s where the magic of 
desks for small spaces comes in, to let you have a functional yet super cute workspace that suits whatever your creative needs might be.
That way, you can work-from-home comfortably and never feel like you need to escape to a bigger place. After all, small should at least feel cozy, too.
The REAL Challenge of Saving Space in Your Home Office or Studio
I remember living in our 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment, where having a desk for space spaces made a world of difference. I’d graduated from having a kids’ sized desk in our bedroom to having my own little small home office setup.
It was amazing, but it was tight, so I needed to make sure every piece of space was used with intention.
These were the challenges I had when I was living in that charming, cute but tiny area of workspace:
Limited room to do work and music: at the time, I was working my full-time job and playing around with Garage Band when the day was over. As much as having two desks would have been great, that simply wasn’t in the cards— and that’s okay!
Keeping it stylish: I don’t know about you, but the vibe and energy of spaces affect the way I work. I remember the first time meeting STATiC and stepping into his (and eventually, our) apartment. It was oozing creativity at every angle. From the canopy lights to the customizable colored lighting to the eccentric colors that just screamed him, I immediately knew that in order to create beautifully, you need to live beautifully (whatever that means to you!)
Getting funky(tional): Small spaces open means limited storage. I mean, how do you have a space-saving desk that’s organized, especially when you can’t spare much room for shelves or cabinets? It’s a conundrum I definitely faced (hint hint: read Marie Kondo’s two books, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up and Spark Joy and you will never have to worry about this again.)
The good news is, you can find incredible desks for small spaces out there designed specifically to solve both your space-related and style-related dilemmas all in one.
