When you don't have a lot of space to work with at home, finding a place where you can get things done—whether that's taking virtual meetings, doing homework, or crafting—can be a bit of a challenge. But having a dedicated space for your work is crucial for being productive no matter what you're doing, which puts anyone living in cramped quarters in a bit of a bind. But no more. Enter: wall-mounted desks.

Floating desks are perfect for even the smallest spots in your home, and there's a lot to love about them. Some are designed to go in unused corners, others fold up and out of the way when you're not working, and all of them give you the workspace you need. Now all you need is a cute desk lamp to go with it. Go ahead and take your pick of these 20 stylish floating desks to mount to the wall.

This handy, rustic floating desk folds up and turns into a chalkboard you can write on when you're not working.

Invest in a pop of color that will energize your workday with this red oak wall-mounted desk.

With this Pottery Barn corner desk, you can decide how much you want or don't want to build. Opt for just the floating corner piece, or build cabinets for extra storage space.

If you're looking for a home workspace that utilizes your ample wall space but doesn't eat too much into useable floor space, then consider this your solution.

All you really need: a solid desktop, a small shelf, and some cubbies for stowing your work supplies away. A stool will slide right under it in a hallway if it doubles as a console.

This desk folds up to look like a cool, geometric shelf—perfect for displaying knickknacks whether you're working or not.
