20 Ideas of Designer Folding Desk for a Small Space (1)

Thanks to its lifting top, the folding wall desk is ideal for setting up an optimized desk in a small space. But beware, it still does not offer the same comfort as a large desk. If to work you only need a laptop and a few small accessories (diary, phone, etc.) then choosing one is a good idea. To integrate a desk into your living room, you can also choose a bookcase desk , this two-in-one piece of furniture allows you to combine workspace and storage, or a small desk. If you have a dedicated room, you can consider an industrial office that will give a workshop spirit to your interior.
