Desk Space Planning — Expert Answer

What's the ideal desk configuration for a 10x12 office with a window?

In a 10'x12' office with a window on the 10' wall, position the desk perpendicular to the window on one of the 12' walls — this puts the window to the user's left or right (ideal for natural light without glare). This leaves room for a guest chair opposite the desk and a small credenza or bookcase on the opposite 12' wall. Total desk size should be no larger than 60"x30" for the primary surface — an L-shaped desk with a 48" return would work well if positioned in the corner.
