Murphy Desks

One way you can upgrade small spaces is to use a Murphy desk. Like a Murphy bed, a Murphy desk can be folded up when not in use. It’s a perfect way to have an office when you need it and space for other things when you’re done.

The best part is that it can help you emotionally.

If you do work at home it can be hard to have a clear separation of work life and home life. You could be done with work for the day, but because the work space is there in your home, you might not feel done. You might even check your office email after hours because it’s close by.

With a Murphy desk, you can stow the laptop and fold up the desk to give your brain a mental break from work. That way, you’re not compelled to handle work issues when you’re finished for the day. Wayfair has many folding desks to choose from.
