Modern L Shape Desk

A modern L-shape desk is a stylish, practical piece of furniture with plenty of surface area. The best location to place an L-shape desk depends on how your other furniture is arranged and what kind of working environment you want to create.

For a traditional set-up, place your modern L-shape desk against the wall in your home office or living room. Opt for a corner position for an isolated work environment. For a more open experience, place one arm of the desk against the wall, with the other jutting into the room.

If the furniture arrangement in your space allows, consider placing your L-shape desk in the middle of the room, away from any walls.  This gives you plenty of open space so you can move around your desk and maintain a flow of movement in your office.

Modern L-shape desks vary in size, depending on the model, so it’s best to measure the dimensions of your available space and pick a size according to what will fit in the room.

Some desks have one short side and one long side while other models have two sides that are the same length. The former is ideal for small rooms and the latter is better for spacious offices.

That said, these modern desks are usually 60” to 72” in length on the long side and 48” to 58” on the short side. If you don’t have too much room to spare but still want to create a functional workspace, opt for a compact L-shaped desk with a long side that’s 47” to 55” long.
