If you have a private office, it's great, you can freely display it, right? But not everyone is lucky enough to have such a spacious space. Sometimes we only have a small corner. So today, let's analyze with Epione to see which table size will be the most ideal choice for your working corner.
Space estimation
Desk - sounds simple enough, any desk can be used to work? But in reality, when put into use, there will be many differences. Just pay attention to the following points:
-
Setup area: Do you have a whole room to "transform" into a home office or just a small corner in the bedroom? This is very important!
-
Your work "tools": If you use both a desktop and a laptop, and add in some document trays and other miscellaneous items, you definitely need a large table. If you only use a laptop and a little space for a mouse, a basic table is enough, then you have more space for other things in the room.
A little secret in interior design that few people pay attention to is that the aisles between the furniture in the room should be at least 90cm wide for comfortable working, standing, sitting, and walking. The same goes for the working corner, you should leave a space between the table and the exit so that when standing up or sitting down, you will not be hindered.

Standard measurements
To choose the right table size for you, first let Epione guide you on how to measure the most standard table top size:
-
The standard width is measured from left edge to right edge when standing facing the table, most commonly it will range from 80cm to 160cm, depending on usage needs and space area.
-
Standard depth is measured from the front edge to the back edge of the table top, typically ranging from 50 to 70 cm.
How to determine the appropriate table width based on usage needs:
-
Narrow (under 50cm): Suitable if you have few devices and accessories.
-
Standard (50 - 76 cm): Comfortable if you only need space for your computer, keyboard and one monitor.
-
Depth (over 76 cm): Choose if you use multiple monitors, need space for shelves to store documents, mail or other large accessories.
