25 Small White Desk Options for Minimal Space & Maximum Impact

We love compact white desks and modern office design, and we believe that small workspaces deserve just as much design and attention as a luxury executive suite. Finding a small white desk for your office is easy, thanks to this list of 25 top picks for 2022. 

Choosing a Desk for a Small Office

Setting on a small desk setup does not have to be so different from that of a more spacious office, but it does need to be better thought out. The use of color, shape, and style in a tighter area is even more important because of how much they can affect the feeling of the space. 

Why Pick White?

Choosing a white desk setup is always an excellent place to start because the color lends itself perfectly to creativity. First of all, white is bright and makes a space feel bigger instantly. Secondly, it is adaptable to any color scheme or design aesthetic you decide to pursue. 

In a nutshell, white desks are chic, sophisticated, and flexible. Many furniture designers use white as the base for their collections, which leaves us with plenty of options when it comes to decorating!

FAQ

1.  How to protect your white desk top?

Accidents happen all the time, but you can prevent your white desk top from receiving damage by buying a desk mat. The larger it is, the better. It will provide an extra layer of protection to your desk, preventing it from receiving scratches. Some desk mats are also resistant to hot and cold beverages, so we highly recommend you to take into account this factor before purchasing one – especially if you tend to drink coffee or tea while you’re working!

2.  What is a standard office desk size?

Generally speaking, computer desks tend to have 50” in width, 28-30 inches in height, and a depth of 25”. However, these traditional dimensions are outdated and they may be uncomfortable for smaller or taller people. That is why many people are switching to standing desks, as it is possible for them to modify the height of their work surface and find something that works for their body proportions.

3.  How do I measure my desk size?

Although most desks have similar dimensions, here’s what you need to do if you want to find out how big your desk is:

• You can find out the width of your desk by measuring the whole piece of furniture from left to right. Try to do so while looking at it as if you were about to use it.
• Next up, you can find out the height by measuring the desk from the base to the top.
• Last but not least, you can find out the depth of your desk by measuring the surface from back to front, similar to how you were measuring the width.
