Need some inspiration. I have a small landing space/corner that currently houses a bookcase but I am thinking of replacing it with a small desk (wfh)

Not my house but the same sort of layout

You want folks to show you their landing but you won’t show yours?😂

This ^

@Paddingtonthebear Surely if you want to see ours, you need to let us see yours first?

Oh sorry I’m not there at the moment and don’t have any photos of the space

Do you mean put a desk in that bit near the doors?

Paddingtonthebear · 31/08/2023 17:26

Yeah the dead space in the corner, could do with finding a quieter part of the house

I wouldn't unless it's wider that the picture. The chair Will constantly be a bit in the way no matter how far you push it in.

We had a desk on our landing for less than a year in our current house before it became too much of a pain to navigate round.

That's what happens when you downsize from somewhere with acres of space to a cottage!

Replaced it with a bookcase and console which suits the space much better.

My landing is very similar and wouldn't fit a desk in. Our bookcase is to the left of that door facing outwards as you walk downstairs.

LibertyLily · 31/08/2023 17:42

Ours. The desk was where the bookcase is (hall is wide-ish as we reconfigured the space ourselves), but in hindsight would've been better where the 2.4m run of black cupboards are. However storage is far more important for us than desk space so the desk got the chop.

So pretty 💕

Thank you @Sunflower7777

It's a big space and is a lot of work. Poor DH has nearly been broken by the wallpapering!

Mine in my last house looked like this, I had a chest of drawers in the space. A desk would have fitted but the actual sitting space would have been an issue.

Could you do what I did and use it to house a larger piece of furniture to make space for a desk in one of the rooms?

Paddingtonthebear · 31/08/2023 18:47

This is the space. I have changed my mind and may move a wardrobe there instead which creates more space in another room.

Ours is exactly the same and I had a desk but live in a semi and could hear next door as well as being central to all noise in my own house when kids came in from school, going to the bathroom etc so moved into our bedroom. I'm trying to work out using it as a laundry area.
