Dimensions: H76 x W99 x D50cm

Turn an unloved nook into an instant workspace that looks equally as lovely as it is functional. This set comes with two shelves and the desk space, a good range of sizes and five colours to choose from. (Our pick is this unbleached natural pine.)

Dimensions: Various

This is massively reduced at the moment – down to £78 from £289! Grab a bargain and a (bright blue) statement piece for your home at the same time.

Here's something on the more muted end of the spectrum – warm dove grey best suited to traditional schemes. We can't imagine feeling stressed while sitting down to work at this desk.

Dimensions: H75 x W90 x D40cm

At only 65cm wide, this is one of the most bijou pieces on our list. Saying that, it comes in the most extensive colour ranges, too, with 17 lovely shades to choose from from soothing blues and greys to fiery reds and rich yellows and greens.

Dimensions: W65 x H75 x D50cm

Desks with built-in shelves are always good for renters – they give you instant storage space with no need to drill into walls that aren't yours. Plus, what it lacks in width it makes up for in height, giving you plenty of room for all your important documents, along with a plant or two.

Dimensions: H185 x W80 x D48cm

Another pretty one here that certainly wouldn't look out of place in a bedroom. We think we'd almost be excited to sit down to work in the morning at a desk this Instagrammable.

Dimensions: H80 x W111 x D53cm

With only two legs, this small desk leans against the wall to take up minimal room. Chunky drawers are replaced with two roomy shelves above, so you won't lose any storage space.

Dimensions: W90 x D42.5 x H180 cm

Smaller desks doesn't mean you have to scrimp on storage space, as this M&S option proves. This option is worth considering if you're a renter as the inbuilt shelves mean you don't have to drill into walls.

Dimensions: H185 x W89.5 x D55 cm

Here's another very small desk option – pop your laptop on the top and you have an instant workspace. There's even space for your notebook in the drawer beneath.

Dimensions: L65 x H76 x D38cm

Claw back dead corner space with this minimal, Scandi-inspired small desk.

Dimensions: H77.5 x W80 x D80cm

This small desk is a perfect blend of Scandi, industrial and mid-century styling in our book. We think the desk's legs make it all the more visually striking.

Dimensions: W88 x D48 x H77cm

So, not the prettiest one – but if you're looking for something unobtrusive that you can fold up neatly out of the way when not in use, this is a great option.

Dimensions: W48 x L97cm

This narrow desk will give you somewhere to work even in the smallest spaces – like when your desk has to slot at the end of your bed, for example. And that marble/gold combo? Dream.

Dimensions: H74 x W100 x D40cm

So, this isn't the prettiest desk on the list, but it is a steal at under £70 and there's a roomy drawer to stash your stuff come 5PM.

Dimensions: H75 x W75 x D40cm

Another good folding option here (see our round-up for more options) – and it's under £50. The black/wood combo is quite smart, we think, as well.

Dimensions: H84 x W86 x D62cm

And here's a dark wood option, so you can get that Pinterest-perfect mid-century style at home.

Dimensions: H188 x W66cm

The definition of small but perfectly formed: the top shelf here can be used to hold a computer monitor if you use a desktop at home – or just your pretty bits and pieces if not.

Dimensions: Various, pick from several options

No drawers here, but there is a section for keeping your papers tidy. We like the high back, too – very smart.

Dimensions: W90 x 60 x 80cm

Simple and classic, this chic dark wood desk will add some sophisticated charm to your home office.
