What can you use a secretary roll top desk for?

Secretary roll top desks are often compact, but they still provide enough surface space to work on your laptop, do your homework, journal in a notebook, or even type on a typewriter. Furthermore, most secretary roll top desks are equipped with several drawers and shelves for storing office supplies, documents, accessories, and other personal items. You can even use the vintage desk’s compartments to keep your bills, mail, and personal correspondence organized in the living room. Once you’re done with work for the day, you can simply use the roll-top to keep your work hidden away.

Where should I place a secretary roll top desk in my home?

A secretary roll top desk can fit in any room in your home, but the best locations are the entryway, living room, and home office or corner workstation. However, a key consideration in its placement needs to be how often you will put it to use.

An entryway is a perfect place to display your antique or newer roll-top desk. Not only will it add to the decor, but it can serve as a central location to keep your keys, mail, stamps, envelopes, handbag, and anything else you need.

If you plan to use your secretary roll top desk often, place it where it’s easily accessible, close to an area you spend most of your time. This can be in a corner nook, a separate office, or in the living room. If it is more of a decoration, the entryway, dining room, or living room are perfect spots to display it.

How much space do I need for a secretary roll-top desk?

Secretary roll top desks aren’t only sought after for their charming and functional design. They’re also a favorite among those with small spaces because of their compact size! Therefore, you can easily squeeze a secretary roll top desk anywhere you want without it taking up too much room. These desks generally measure anywhere from 30 - 40 inches wide, sometimes more or less, depending on the model itself. Their height varies as well, with some reaching up to 70”. Unlike with traditional desks, you’ll need to clear a little wall space to make room for the secretary desk’s vertical storage compartments.
