Setting up a teen bedroom workspace is as simple as dedicating a small wall just for a desk and shelving. I found this perfect “all in one” desk at Homesense and I love how the space came together.

Let’s take a look at how easy it is, to create an organized and quiet space for kids to do their homework.

I set this workspace up during the COVID days when bedroom workspaces became a necessity, and it’s really stood the test of time.

Teenage Desks For Bedrooms

One of the biggest concerns I had when it came to creating a teenager workspace in My Son’s bedroom was putting an actual “desk” in the bedroom.

I was worried about my son spending too much time in his bedroom with the door closed but I came to the conclusion that it was the quietest, most functional space available in our house. 

The black and gold desk size was perfect for the short wall in his bedroom. I love the closed storage featuring swing doors and the pull out drawer option. 

I didn’t want a big bulky desk in the bedroom. I felt like a slim lined freestanding style desk with storage would take up less room and appear less cluttered.

This gorgeous desk is from Homesense. When I was looking for desks a few weeks ago, there was a massive shortage.

Jim and I were actually planning to make a floating desk for this wall because I couldn’t find a desk that would fit the space. We were planning to add shelves about the shelf/desk to utilize the wall space. 

BUT this desk randomly appeared at HomeSense and I quickly snagged it. 

I picked up the black desk lamp, pencil holder, dry erase wall calendar and the storage baskets at both HomeGoods and HomeSense. 

Teen Desk Ideas for a bedroom

The goal was pack in as much of my teen son’s school supplies as possible without make the space overwhelming. Remote learning is no joke! I cannot even begin to tell you the anxiety that this situation has caused with my son.

Finding a desk suitable for a boy was also not easy. For some reason, everything I was finding in stores was for a girl. 

I think having his desk workspace tidy, organized and all in one spot has been a key factor in keeping him focused and in a routine. 

Creating a workspace in my son’s bedroom was a fun project and the best part, my son actually likes the desk. 

His biggest concern when I told him I we were putting a desk in his bedroom was, “it better not be girly.”

He specifically said, “don’t make it look like that ugly pink and gold office you created for yourself.”

I told him many of his teen friends that are girls would love that space!
