When purchasing home office furniture desks constructed for placement in the executive office suite will hardly suffice. Consider the ridiculous implausibility of installing a 40 inch by 60 inch mahogany executive desk into that space beneath your stairwell that you had planned as your personal home office space. The key to creating a functional yet comfortable home office is to purchase home office furniture that though scaled down in size is large in functionality. So, with this in mind when searching for the perfect desk to fit your cubbyhole, begin by making sure the depth of that piece of furniture is no more than 28 inches. Actually 24 inches would be preferable.
Now that we have small footprint flat screen thin body monitors, far less depth is required when we are setting up a computer WorkStation. Next try to keep the length of your home office desk at around 5 feet. This allows for placement under the aforementioned stairwell or if need be conversion to an office of your walk in closet. Finally, when choosing the perfect executive office chair for your home office, remember not to buy one with extremely high backing. You are working at home and no doubt family members will be calling to you from time to time with a variety of requests. You want to be able to turn your head slightly, swivel your chair and communicate without being unable to see over the chair back.
