About our Floating Desks Range

A floating desk, also called a wall mounted desk, is fixed to the wall rather than standing on the floor. With no legs, it frees up space underneath, makes cleaning easy and suits narrow alcoves, landings, bedrooms and small home offices. Here you'll find wall mounted laptop desks and floating desks in oak, walnut and other wood finishes.

We don't sell furniture ourselves. When you find a desk you like, click through to the retailer to check the latest price, stock, delivery charges and returns policy before you buy.

Fixing it to the wall

A wall mounted desk is only as secure as its fixings. Use the fixings supplied only if they suit your wall type, and use suitable heavy duty fixings for plasterboard, ideally into studs or masonry. If you are not sure, ask a competent fitter.

Weight and size

Floating desks are generally best for laptops and light use. Check the weight limit in the product details before adding monitors, and measure the depth so you can fit a chair underneath comfortably.

Where they work best

A floating desk suits a hallway nook, a bedroom wall or a corner of a living room, where a full-size desk would feel too big. Add a wall shelf above for books and stationery.

Frequently asked questions

What is a floating desk?

A floating desk is a desk that is fixed to the wall instead of having legs, so the space underneath stays clear. It is also called a wall mounted desk or wall hung desk.

How much weight can a wall mounted desk hold?

It depends on the desk and the wall. Many are designed for a laptop and light items rather than heavy monitors. The product details usually give a maximum weight, so check it and make sure your wall and fixings can take it.

Can I fix a floating desk to plasterboard?

Only with suitable heavy duty fixings, and ideally into the wall studs. Plasterboard on its own will not support much weight, so follow the manufacturer's advice or ask a fitter.

How high should I fix a floating desk?

A comfortable desk height for most adults is around 72-76 cm from the floor to the top of the desk. Sit at your chair and check your elbows are at about the same height as the desk surface before you drill.

Are floating desks good for small spaces?

Yes. With no legs and a shallow depth, they are one of the most space-saving types of desk, and some can be paired with a slim chair or stool that tucks away.
