Aren’t white desks the cutest? Here is a list of the best white desks for kids including many that are perfect for small spaces.

This compact desk is perfect for kids between the ages of 3-8. It has some amazing drawer space yet is still compact enough to fit in small spaces. It even comes with the built-in cork bulletin board which is perfect for hanging reminders, their school calendar or other important keepsakes.

Desk with Shelving on the Side

If I had a girl, I think this would be the perfect desk for her. I love the simplicity of it with the extra open shelving on the sides. It makes one of the best desks for homeschooling as you can store all their supplies neatly at their desk. Plus, it’s compact enough to fit in small spaces, which is exactly what we want.

Simple Desk for Small Spaces

Have you heard of Melissa & Doug? They are well-known parents to six kids and so they got their creative brains thinking and put together this cute and simple desk for small spaces. It’s probably one of the most compact desks with a hidden storage drawer underneath the tabletop.

Modern Desk

Now here’s another modern desk that can be used with or without the detachable hutch. Plus it also comes with drawer space with shiny silvery handles giving it that modern and elegant look. Personally, I’d keep the hutch on as it’ll give your kids more storage space for their homeschooling supplies.

Girly with Pink Desk

Aw now this is another cute desk for girls with the pretty pink drawers. And in case you’re not a gold person like me, it comes with the option to change the knobs to silver instead (which would be my preference).

Wooden Kids Desks

Perhaps you’re not a white desk type of person and I totally understand. Although they are super cute, sometimes a normal wooden desk works best (it’s what we got as well). So here are some brown, wooden desk options for kids.

Compact Laptop Desk

Oh now this desk for kids is one that’s super affordable compared to some of the others. Plus it’s compact and simple to fit in small spaces while still providing enough storage space via the bins and on the side shelving. Oh and it even comes in two other color options as well!

Simple Wooden Desk for Small Spaces

Remember that white desk created by Melissa & Doug? Well this is the exact same one but in a different color. So if you’re more of a wooden color type of person, this one would be a better option for you. It still has the same secret storage area underneath the tabletop too so it’s a no brainer for kids between the ages of 3-8.

Foldable Desk

OMG now this desk is seriously perfect if you are really confined in space. Not only is it compact but it’s a foldable desk too! That means whenever you’re done using it or if you have guests coming over, you can easily store this desk away from sight. The downside is that it doesn’t come with any storage areas but you could always create your own homeschool organization storage.

Walnut Brown Modern Desk

Here is another super simple and small desk option with no storage space. The tiny desk model keeps it compact so you can literally place this desk anywhere in your home. The best part about this desk is that it comes with the most variety of color options, 5 colors options to be exact.

Espresso Study Desk

I’m going to be honest and say that I am slightly upset we found this desk after we had purchased ours haha. I love how much storage space this little study desk comes with plus the built-in cork bulletin board. Oh and how about those spaces to hold binders and papers? Yup, it’s a pretty nice desk to have.

Why Should Kids Have a Desk at Home?

There are quite a few reasons why desks for kids are so popular. In fact, kids desks are bought to use as a homework station and not only for kids who will be schooling at home. However, if you are schooling from home, then it just makes so much more sense to go ahead and get them their own desk once you’re able.

Below are the top reasons why you kids should have a desk at home, particularly if they will be doing the majority of their studies at home this year.

Something for them to call their own

So honestly, when we bought our son his desk, we had no idea that he was going to be super excited for it. We thought he wasn’t going to care since it was well you know, just a desk. But surprisingly, he was super excited at the fact that we was getting his “very own desk.” He sees me work from home at my desk quite often so I suppose this is where that stemmed from.

But it did show me that even something as simple as a desk can make him feel a sense of ownership. He now has his own desk and enjoys working from it because it’s his. We have him do workbooks over the summer and so I was able to see first hand how much less he complained about doing these since he was now doing them at his desk instead of our dining room table.

So yes, even though it’s “just a desk,” kids will still love it and gain a sense of pride and ownership for having one.

Teaches them neatness and responsibility

Now this one is my absolute favorite. You can probably understand my frustration when I was having to constantly remind my son to clean up his mess from the dining room table so we could eat. But now? He doesn’t like seeing his own desk disorganized, nope. He likes having his desk nice and neat because it looks better that way.

So now I don’t even have to tell him to clean up his mess because he’s already doing it. And no, I’m not saying that he never put away his stuff when he was working from the dining room table, but now it’s almost a given that he’ll leave his desk organized before walking away. Plus, if they don’t clean it up, it’s pretty obvious who left the mess (they can’t blame it on a sibling or anyone else).

So it not only teaches them to maintain a neat workstation, but teaches them to be responsible for all their things housed at their desk.
