Looking for some ideas for IKEA L Shaped Desk Hacks?
In this post, you’ll find the 13 best IKEA corner desk hacks and ideas to help you create the home office of your dreams on a small budget.
If you’ve been working from home for a while and struggling with finding space on your desk then it may be time to upgrade to a corner desk.
L-shaped corner desks have been shown to up productivity by enabling you to have more space for second (or third) monitors which allows you to have greater focus.
The bigger main desk area also allows for additional desk space for taking down notes, and having less clutter in general due to the maximum storage space for big and small items.
A corner desk will help you create a productivity hub that will aid you in getting into the work mode easier.
Luckily, it’s quite affordable to create custom desks or corner desks of your dreams using cheap furniture pieces from IKEA and hacking them into a classy-looking and functional office corner desk.
A cheap desk from IKEA is a good starting point in creating the DIY desk of your dreams.
So let’s get started with 12 IKEA corner desk ideas to help you get inspired.
Can you put two desks together to make an L shape?
Yes, to create an L-shape desk you can simply put together two desks and use some flat brackets to attach them together. Just ensure the two desks are the same height for a seamless L-shaped desk.
You could even add some angle brackets and mount the corner desk to a nearby wall for extra sturdiness.
