Corner computer desk: photos in the interior, design, types, materials, colors

In small rooms it is especially important to combine aesthetics and versatility in the interior.

It is impossible to imagine a person today without a laptop (computer), so a corner computer desk is an important design element.

Various designs of corner desks for computers are popular; they are comfortable and look impressive in stylish offices and in a schoolchild’s (student’s) corner.

Recommendations for selection

Choose a corner computer desk based on the size of the room in which you plan to install it.

• Carefully consider the design of the corner table, its height and width. It should be easy to use and fit your size.
• The color of the structure can be matched to the rest of the furniture in the room, or it may differ from it. When choosing, rely on your taste and preferences.
• Choose the material based on the functionality of the installed structure and the purpose of the room in which installation is planned.
• Consider organizing additional space for storing office supplies or installing a system unit. These could be lockers, add-ons, or even a pencil case.

Additional equipment

The design of corner models is complemented by functional elements for various purposes.

• Pull-out keyboard panel.
• Shelves containing office equipment: printer, scanner, speakers. All devices are located at arm's length and do not occupy the work surface.
• Monitor stand. This addition is necessary for limited countertop sizes. However, it is important to maintain the correct position of the screen relative to your eyes to avoid strain.
• Compartment for the system unit. More comfortable use will be provided by the modular version with a set of casters for ease of movement.
• A cabinet equipped with drawers.
• Hanging shelves or extension.
• Cabinet or open shelving.

Large structural elements are positioned in such a way that they do not interfere with the penetration of sunlight.

Types of desks at an angle for a computer

Types are left-sided and right-sided. The structure can be installed both on the left side of the room and on the right, regardless of whether it is for a left-handed person or a right-handed person.

• Left-handed. This type is more suitable for left-handers; the main working side will be located on the left.
• Right-handed. This view is for right-handers; the working surface will accordingly be on the right.

Additions to the table

Modern technologies make it possible to create exactly the computer desk you dreamed of, and this is expressed in the smallest details. You can discuss any issue with the measurers and choose exactly the option that best suits your space and meets your desires.

Among other things, you can choose some additions from cabinets, assorted drawers, wall cabinets or add-ons.

What kind of material is there?

Stores provide a large selection of materials. When choosing, you should rely on practicality and wear resistance. Pay attention to the type of material; it can complement the overall concept of the apartment or become an accent in your interior.

Material options:

• Glass.
• Tree.
• Metal.
• Chipboard/chipboard.
• MDF.

The most expensive material is wood. The price will increase if the design is made to order. An alternative could be laminated chipboard/chipboard/MDF. These materials are practical and have a wide color palette.

The gloss from glass looks unusual in the interior; this material is practical from a cleaning point of view and does not absorb liquids. To order, you can make a design of any shape and color, adding photo printing or stained glass decor. The metal one will last for many years, it is difficult to break or spoil it.

How to do it yourself

It is not always possible to find a perfectly suitable modern table in a store. But in this case, it is recommended to make and assemble it yourself at home. A table designed with your own hands will meet all the conveniences of the owner. Can be placed anywhere: in the living room, in the bedroom, and in the nursery.

Drawing and detailing

When drawing up an individual drawing, it is recommended to focus on the models offered by the market. It is also worth considering exactly where it will stand. So, for example, when creating a corner model, the interior item can no longer be placed near the wall, only in another corner.

The height is calculated individually from the formula x*75/175. Where x is the height of the person who will use the furniture.

For convenience, it is recommended to sketch the appearance of the future table

The sketch does not need to show any detail of the appearance. It could just be a sketch. The main thing is to note drawers, shelves, as well as all the parameters of future furniture. It is necessary to place each element organically. They must be balanced on the surface of the countertop and under it. Otherwise, when one side is outweighed, a modern computer desk may tilt.

Required materials and tools

The choice of material should be made based on its characteristics. So that the structure is durable, strong and resistant, it is recommended to pay attention to wood. In any case, you can choose any material you like.

It is not recommended to use glass for tabletops; this material is very fragile and requires certain skills in working with it.

The following materials are required for construction:

• Wood or other material in the required volume. It is recommended to take with a margin of 5-10%.
• Screws and fasteners, in the same quantity as in the drawing.
• Electric or hand saw.
• Sanding machine and sandpaper.
• Drill.
• Level.
• Screwdriver.
• Brushes, paint and varnish if the material requires painting.

It is recommended to take a small amount of fastening elements in excess. Sometimes when drawing up a drawing, some fasteners are not noticeable and this becomes clear only at the assembly stage.

Incorrectly calculated height of the product can cause spinal diseases, as well as visual impairment

Manufacturing process

Manufacturing takes place in several stages:

1. Let's draw a diagram.
2. It is necessary to draw the outlines of all future table parts on the material so that they all fit. To do this, you need to make patterns from paper or cardboard in advance. It also wouldn’t hurt to pre-assemble a cardboard model in order to identify all the shortcomings of the future design.
3. Then carefully cut them out.
4. Each part must be sanded to maximum smoothness, and the edges must be treated with sandpaper.
5. If necessary, paint and varnish the parts on both sides in two stages.
6. Fasten the parts together according to the sketch.

For faster assembly, it is recommended to number the parts on the sketch, sample and make notes with a washable marker or pencil on the finished parts.

In addition, a person who feels discomfort when working at a computer desk spends much more energy and, therefore, gets tired quickly

Features and manufacturing secrets

At the stage of creating a project for your own computer desk, it is recommended to pay attention to the following nuances:

• When compiling the basic parameters, it is recommended to pay attention to the area of ​​the place where the structure is supposed to be installed.
• To prevent the laptop from overheating, it is recommended to make holes in the tabletop for additional cooling.
• The width should be such that the user can easily reach the other end of the tabletop.
• When inserting drawers under the table on both sides, you need to calculate so that the computer chair fits comfortably in the gap between them.
• It is important not to overload the structure with additional shelves and drawers; the height of the shelves on the surface itself should not exceed this tabletop parameter.
• If designer furniture is planned to be massive already at the design stage, then you should take care of a larger number of fastenings than usual.
• At the planning stage, it is worth relying on existing models. By combining the design of two or three models, you can get a completely new and unique project.

A table that is too low will cause the user to slouch and lean forward, while a table that is too high will cause the user to lift their head up and feel discomfort.

Computer desk sizes

The size should primarily depend on the area in which installation is planned. A corner computer desk should be spacious so that all equipment can easily fit there.

Small

If the apartment is small, a diagonal or triangular corner computer desk will do. It can easily fit a laptop and office supplies.

Big

A perpendicular computer corner table can be a gaming desk, with a pull-out shelf for the keyboard. It can easily fit a PC, an all-in-one computer and additional office equipment for games. You should choose a comfortable chair for this design.

Long

This corner computer desk can be placed in an office, on a loggia or balcony. This type of design provides a lot of additional space for storing necessary things.

Functionality

Of course, much will depend on the table model itself. But still, if we talk about storage options, then corner models definitely win. They have as many as three storage areas that will not interfere with the seated person and will not hamper his movements. These are areas on the sides of the legs (most often drawers) and several shelves in the very corner of the table, under the tabletop. Plus, there is always the possibility of increasing storage capabilities through add-ons.

As a rule, corner tables, if it is not completely RјR°R»РµРЅСЊРєРёР№, have a larger tabletop area than straight ones. Due to this, you can place more folders with documents, a printer, a cup, stationery and other important things in your work.

Corner models have many advantages over straight classic tables. They effectively use a corner of the room (and not just a corner), part of which would be an empty area next to a straight tabletop.

At the same time, if you are buying a table for a small room where every square centimeter is important and needed, a corner table will not always be appropriate. Check - perhaps one of its corners will take up space for a bed or will rest against a closet.

Which table should you choose - straight or corner? Now you know all the pros and cons of each option and, without a doubt, you will make a good choice.

Photos of tables in the interior of rooms

The structure can be installed in any room of the house. When choosing, rely on the overall interior of the room, its dimensions and color scheme.

Bedroom

A corner computer desk for a bedroom can be either separate or built-in. Bright accents and details will help decorate your workspace.

Children's

A school design in a nursery for studying should be ergonomic and practical; it should be installed near a window, so the child will have natural daylight. For a teenager, you can install a corner gaming table. For two children, choose a large double table with two monitors so that it is convenient for them to learn and develop. A small or modular design is suitable for a girl. Be sure to make the right choice if your child is left-handed.

Living room

The design in the living room can be built-in or separate. Install it near the windowsill or get rid of it altogether.

Balcony

For installation on a balcony, choose small-sized and compact models.

Cabinet

If you have an office in your home, you can install an entire wall with a corner computer desk. If there is a lot of space in the office, the table can be of different sizes and shapes, for example, radius or free.

If you selected the add-on

This is a good addition to the workplace, where you can leave various little things or gadgets and which will be within easy reach. Perfect for storing notebooks, photographs and other small things. It is worth noting that if the table is located near the window, then there is no need to block natural light with the superstructure. It is also important that such an addition is only suitable if the free surface on the table is not used, for example, if you do not work on anything other than a computer or laptop.

Ideas for decorating a room in various styles

Design ideas for decoration can be very diverse. It is important to take into account the purpose of the room, its color scheme and the general concept of the apartment. Pay attention to the already installed furniture, its color, texture.

To decorate in a loft style, choose wooden countertops combined with metal. This style would be appropriate in the living room, kitchen or balcony. Classic is more suitable for an office. Provence style will harmoniously fit into a bedroom or nursery; for this style, choose glass surfaces. Glass in combination with metal will emphasize the high-tech style.

Rear cross section of the table top

If the choice fell on a direct or combined option for placing computer equipment, it is necessary to provide a rear cross member that partially covers the structure frame from the rear and ensures its rigidity. The back element is made of any material, including chipboard.

The width of the part should be selected based on a third of the height of the lowest cabinet of the table structure. The minimum width of the part is a fifth of the height of the high cabinet. The thickness of the rear cross member can be any, and the thicker it is, the better the protection of the body from the rear side will be.

If the back of the tabletop is visible, it should look attractive

Before work, it is advisable to saturate the raw materials with a water-polymer composition 60-90 minutes before starting assembly.

Corner table colors

Choose designs to match the existing furniture in the room or choose basic colors; they will fit into any interior. You can experiment and choose a new color that will complement or refresh your interior, such as blue or red. The design can even be two-color and combine different textures.

White

Not the most practical color for choosing a countertop, but the most versatile. White will fit into any interior, suitable for both the living room and children's room.

Wenge

This color can be used in the interior either independently or in combination with other colors.

Black

Another universal color is black. It will fit perfectly into a loft or hi-tech style. The color black has many shades; it can be either dark or lighter or even gray.

Beige

This color will organically fit into the interiors of pastel, muted tones.

Brown

It looks representative and is more often found in offices than others.

Manufacturing materials and coatings

In the production of corner models, the same list of materials is used as for other pieces of furniture.

• Wood is considered a classic of the genre. Its durability, reliability, safety and durability will satisfy any requirements. The most commonly used solid wood is pine, oak, beech, ash, and birch. Wood construction looks massive, but is expensive, so a buyer with an average income is looking for a more affordable option.
• Chipboard with laminated coating is the most profitable solution for the home, if not for one “but”. If the decorative coating is damaged, a slab of wood chips becomes a source of evaporation of harmful substances. When purchasing, be sure to check the environmental certificate, which confirms the use of chipboard class E0 or E
• Due to its high performance characteristics, MDF can become a worthy alternative to wood. A table made of MDF does not have the disadvantages of the previous type; it ideally combines a reasonable price and decent quality. The veneer coating creates a complete imitation of wood. PVC films come in a wide variety of textures and shades; it is possible to apply original images. Enamel paint can be easily updated if the layer is damaged or there is a desire to change the design of the model.
• Strained glass. An original appearance, visual lightness, environmental friendliness and a sufficient margin of safety are the main advantages of the material. But there are a number of disadvantages: significant cost, the need for frequent cleaning, coldness of the surface, irritating sounds from contact with any objects.
• Metal. More often it is used in combination with other materials (wood, glass, MDF). The metal elements of the frame are reliably protected by a coating with an anti-corrosion effect. It can be shiny chrome or polymer coating of different shades.

When finishing the ends of the tabletop, 4 types of edges are used.

• Melamine is paper impregnated with resin. Thickness varies from 0.2 to 0.4 mm. It can have a smooth or embossed surface that imitates natural materials.
• The PVC product is available in different sizes: thickness from 0.4 to 10 mm, width from 1 to 10 cm. It is highly resistant to moisture and care products, and provides a good degree of protection. There are several types differing in configuration: T-, U-, U-shaped, overhead without girth.
• Metal edging protects the edges of furniture from impacts, mechanical loads, moisture, temperature fluctuations, and is considered the most wear-resistant. Its parameters: thickness 1-2 mm, width 1.6-10 cm. Types: T-, H-shaped, with P-, F- or C-girth, without girth. The decorative component, depending on the processing method, is represented by: a silver mirror surface, shades from gold to black, and a variety of PVC films.
• The acrylic type is made from the polymer of the same name and creates an interesting three-dimensional pattern. Thickness - 2 mm, width up to 10 cm. Usually produced in the form of an overlay tape, less often with a U-shaped girth. The material retains its color for a long time, has high rigidity and strength. Small defects can be easily removed by polishing.

Design of computer desks in the shape of an angle

The design of a corner computer desk should not only be beautiful and modern, but also multifunctional. The work requires a lot of free space where you can place everything you need for it. Organize storage shelves, add drawers and don't forget about light.

With lockers

A table with cabinets will hide things from prying eyes and help keep your work supplies organized.

With add-on

This type of design includes stands for speakers and a pull-out shelf for the keyboard.

With rack

There is a lot of free space on the shelves; you can place accessories or books there.

Glass

Glass construction is a reliable and stylish option in a modern interior.

With nightstand

A computer desk with a bedside table will accommodate all the equipment; bedside tables can be used for their intended purpose for storing various things, not necessarily office supplies.

With a pencil case

A corner computer desk with a pencil case will look great in an office and will be easy to use for schoolchildren.

Semicircular

This type of design provides access to the entire surface of the tabletop and is safe for children.

Office desk - characteristics

The comfort of work will depend on the proper organization of the place. You should consider the main criteria for office furniture:

Convenience. An employee should be comfortable sitting at a desk, regardless of the type of activity and work rhythm.

Multifunctionality. Recently, offices have begun to acquire structures that are intended not only for carrying out everyday tasks, but also for negotiations and receiving guests. This office desk is made from modular systems and is equipped with attached elements and pull-out bedside tables.

Ergonomics

For comfortable work, it is important that the desk drawers open easily and return to their original position without difficulty.

Safety. It is preferable to buy products with rounded edges for offices, as this will prevent possible injuries.

Modern office desks are produced taking into account the wishes of the client himself. You can choose furniture with rounded edges or non-standard dimensions. Designer office furniture will not only be comfortable when working, but will also become a harmonious addition to any, even the most sophisticated interior. It differs from traditional designs not only in external characteristics, but also in content.

Tabletop configurations

The design of a computer desk may vary and, accordingly, different models of tabletops can be used in it:

• modular models - in this case, individual elements are assembled into various design options, so the tabletop must have appropriate fastenings, surface treatment, etc.;
• prefabricated tables - this design also involves the assembly of parts, but in a certain order;
• built-in computer tables - these table models are built into other furniture arrays. There are many options possible here - what material to make the table from, what sketch to make for subsequent work.

Sliding tabletop
There are many variations of different tabletop configurations for computers and laptops. They can combine 2 or even 3 characteristics of these groups.

In the manufacture of countertops, different materials can be used.
