4 Sweeten Renovators Make a Case for the Kitchen Desk
No home office? No problem. Add a kitchen desk!
For many families, the kitchen is already the heart of the home and the place they spend most of their time. With so many working surfaces already occupied by meal-prepping, why not create a separate little nook for homework time or paying bills? Kitchen desks provide a separate space away from the cooking mayhem, especially for those without a designated room for an office. See how Sweeten renovators incorporated a kitchen desk into their homes and created a perch for recipe-reading or working from home.

An expansive kitchen renovation with Sweeten adds space for entertaining, working
It’s hard to believe this kitchen was previously relegated to a single wall. The homeowners renovated with a focus on making it suitable for entertaining, but also daily life. While the central island definitely has sufficient counter space, a separate desk area next to the fridge offers a great additional place to work. Sweeten brings homeowners an exceptional renovation experience by personally matching trusted general contractors to your project, while offering expert guidance and support—at no cost to you. Renovate to live, Sweeten to thrive!
A kitchen desk that blends seamlessly with white kitchen cabinets
A separate office wasn’t in the works for Laura and Randy, but they found a solution: a kitchen desk niche. It’s just right off the main kitchen area and matches with the rest of the white cabinetry. Bold, patterned wallpaper gives the desk a sense of separation from the rest of the kitchen, too.
A bold kitchen renovation saves space for a kitchen desk, storage, dishwasher
If there’s any kitchen that could inspire some great ideas, it’s this patterned-filled, bold, blue cook space. Molly’s priorities included more storage and a dishwasher, but the layout also left room for a desk.
This couple kept a kitchen desk before & after their Sweeten renovation
Pre-renovation, Barbra and Sean’s kitchen included a spot for a desk. It seemed natural to carve out a similar area in their fully remodeled space as well. The renovators found a desk that fit right into the opening, and used wallpaper left over from their foyer to give it a more finished look.
