Fitted Home Office Furniture, Desks & Study Storage
Most home offices are not rooms, they are corners: the box room, the end of a landing, an alcove beside the chimney breast, one half of a spare bedroom. Fitted office furniture is a desk, shelving and storage built to the exact size of that space. A fitted desk can be 600mm deep where most bought desks are 800mm, which is often the difference between a usable study and a room you avoid. We build fitted desks, shelving, filing and cable management to suit the space you actually have.
Custom Home Office Furniture
Off-the-shelf desks rarely fit the room you have. We design your workspace around the exact space available, with a desk at the right height, storage where you need it and cable management built in.
Because it is fitted, your office uses awkward corners and full-height walls that freestanding furniture wastes, so even a small room can become a proper, productive place to work. Short on space? See our tricky spaces ideas.

Fitted Desk and Shelving Sizes for a Home Office
A fitted desk is set to your height and the depth your screen needs. These are the sizes we start from on a design visit.
| Part | Typical size | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Desk height | 720mm to 750mm | Keeps your forearms level with the desk when you type. |
| Desk depth (laptop) | 600mm | The practical minimum, and it fits a box room or alcove. |
| Desk depth (monitor) | 700mm to 750mm | Puts the screen roughly an arm length away. |
| Shelf depth | 280mm to 300mm | Takes files and most hardback books in one row. |
| Shelf span | Up to about 900mm | Longer shelves sag under books unless they are supported. |

Your Space, Your Style, Your Storage
From a quiet home office to a dual-purpose spare room, we design around the way you work and the look you want, so it feels like part of your home rather than a corner of the office. Even the space under the stairs can become a compact desk nook, as shown on our hallway and under-stairs storage page. Our guide on how to plan a fitted home office covers desk heights, depths, lighting and cable management in detail.
Home Office FAQs
What is fitted office furniture?
Fitted office furniture is a desk, shelving and storage made to the exact measurements of a room and fixed in place. It fills alcoves, box rooms and full walls that freestanding office furniture leaves gaps around. Our guide on how to plan a fitted home office explains the layout options.
How deep should a fitted desk be?
A fitted desk is usually 600mm deep for a laptop and 700mm to 750mm deep for a monitor. Because it is made to measure, we set the depth to suit your screen and the room.
Can you fit an office into a small room?
Yes. Fitted furniture is ideal for small rooms because it uses the full height and every corner, so even a box room or alcove can become a proper workspace.
Can the office double as a guest room?
Definitely. We regularly design dual-purpose rooms with fold-away or concealed elements so a study can welcome guests when needed.
Can you build a desk under the stairs?
Yes. The space under the stairs suits a compact desk and shelving nook. See our under-stairs storage page for ideas.
Do you build in cable management and power?
Yes. We plan hidden sockets, charging points and cable routes into the design, so your desk stays tidy and free of trailing wires.
What is the best height for a fitted desk?
A desk around 720mm to 750mm high suits most people, but because it is made to measure we set the height to suit you and your chair.
Is fitted office furniture guaranteed?
Yes. Every piece we make is covered by a 10-year guarantee and fitted by our own team.
