A corner desk can save space, but it is not always the most efficient choice. When choosing a corner desk for better space efficiency, consider the full work zone, not just the desk size. You need room for the chair, drawers, cables, walking paths, and nearby doors or wardrobes. Corner desks work best in unused corners and for people who need extra surface space. However, they can waste space if they are too deep, bulky, or hard to reach. A straight desk may be more flexible in small rooms.
