It is impossible to work remotely without a well-equipped home office. An IKEA computer desk can be its main focal point. And the best part is that the price starts from 899 rubles. In this review I will tell you about the most interesting models from the catalog, which are optimal in terms of cost and quality.
I am sure that during the quarantine, the demand for computer and desks at ikea has increased significantly, as many are faced with the need to urgently equip a mini-office at home.
Working on a laptop at the kitchen table or in bed is harmful not only from a physical but also from a psychological point of view. The boundary between a place intended for relaxation and a workplace is blurred. You won't be able to fully relax. Therefore, it is important to have, even a small, but comfortable work area with an atmosphere conducive to work. And for a regular freelancer, this is generally a must-have.
Small tables and laptop stands
If you don't spend much time on the computer, you probably don't need a desktop computer. Your main mobile assistant is most likely a compact laptop or netbook. In this case, choosing furniture will be much easier. It just takes time to decide on the color, shape and dimensions.
“Lillosen”, RUR 9,999
“Malm” with a retractable additional tabletop, RUR 10,999.
“Linnmon” / “Adils”, RUR 3,499.
Watch a review of the inexpensive Linnmon/Adils model and its pros and cons in the video:
The choice of design is a matter of taste and compliance with the style of the interior. For the most part, IKEA offers minimalist options in white, brown, wenge, gray and black, bleached oak.

"Mikke", RUR 5,999 Nightstand "Malm"
"Arkelstorp" is one of my favorite models, very elegant and stylish, price - 12,999 rubles.
Most of the models have a universal, minimalist design and are suitable for almost any modern interior.

There are very few cheerful, colorful ones: the Lerberg series has supports in red and blue, the Linnmon has a green tabletop, and the Paul series furniture (more suitable for a schoolchild’s room) has green, pink or blue inserts.
"Lerberg", RUR 3,199
Furniture from the “Paul” series for schoolchildren, RUR 5,799.
When choosing the shape and dimensions, determine the following points:
- How much space are you willing to allocate for a work area?
- How functional should this place be (is additional space needed for installing office equipment, storing books, notebooks and other office supplies)?
If you spend no more than a couple of hours a day on a laptop, take a look at wall-mounted countertops and wall-mounted combinations. They do not take up much space in the interior. If there is a free corner in the apartment, then this is an ideal place to create a compact, but at the same time very functional workspace. For each option I have compiled a selection of photos below.
Advantages and disadvantages of Ikea interior design
The quality of the products of this Swedish company is today considered a model for other furniture manufacturers. Furniture in the interior from Ikea has its advantages and disadvantages.
Furniture from Ikea is rightfully considered the standard of quality, since only reliable materials are used for its production, and all details are carefully thought out.
The advantages of products from this manufacturer include the following factors:
- A wide range of furniture to suit every taste and budget. You can purchase interior items from the brand for various rooms and premises.
- High quality workmanship and materials used in production. Furniture from IKEA functions over a long period without deteriorating its original appearance or losing its original capabilities. This was made possible thanks to a modernized manufacturing system. This approach reduced shortcomings, mistakes and defects to zero.
- Headset functionality. The company's designers pay attention to every detail in their products, which allows them to be used in completely different interpretations.
- Furniture demonstrates comfort. Armchairs and sofas from Ikea are presented with a unique design that allows you to enjoy your vacation to the fullest.
- Does not require labor-intensive assembly.
- Optimal pricing policy.
- During production, exclusively environmentally friendly materials and components are used, which is confirmed by quality certificates.
Despite the obvious advantages, Ikea interiors also have disadvantages - sometimes it is difficult to come up with an original design that is not similar to the standard options.
The disadvantages of IKEA products include the following:
- Scale of production. This suggests that property owners will not be able to add zest to the interior with the help of unique furniture.
- All modular headsets are made in the same standard size. Therefore, owners of small-sized apartments will not always be able to equip their space with furniture from Ikea.
Minor disadvantages are offset by the advantages of furniture from this famous brand.
Stylish, high-quality furniture from Ikea is in constant demand among buyers of different incomes.
Large tables
A desktop computer is usually chosen by gamers or anyone who spends a lot of time in front of a screen. In any case, more space is needed to create a full-fledged, comfortable workspace, since you need to provide space for a monitor, keyboard and system unit, at a minimum. And this already implies the presence of a tabletop with a depth of 80 cm.
Unfortunately, the IKEA assortment has very few ready-made models that ideally suit all requirements: with a shelf for a system unit, a retractable tabletop, etc. Or rather, there is only one - “Fredde” for 14,999 rubles.
“Fredde”, RUR 14,999
IKEA proudly states that it hired a game designer to create this model (until now, I didn’t even know such a profession existed!
