What Size Computer Desk Do You Need for a Landing?
A landing can be a surprisingly good place for a small home office. It is often quiet, it usually catches daylight from a window at the top of the stairs, and it uses space that would otherwise sit empty. The challenge is size. A landing is a route through the house first and a workspace second, so the desk has to be compact enough to leave a clear, comfortable walkway. For most UK landings, that means a narrow desk around 80cm to 100cm wide and 40cm to 50cm deep, with a chair that tucks fully underneath. In this guide we explain how to measure a landing properly, how much space to keep clear, why depth matters more than width, and which desk styles work in tight spots. We also look at safety near stairs, lighting, storage and how to stop a landing desk feeling like an afterthought, so it becomes a calm and useful corner of the home....
