If you live in a studio apartment, dorm room, or just a small space in general, you’ve probably already discovered the life-changing powers of investing in multi-functional and space-saving furniture and home decor items that aren’t bulky but are still functional and chic. Whether you work from home or not, having a desk to work from, write, and read is essential, but unfortunately, they often take up a ridiculous amount of surface area, leading a lot of small-space dwellers to go without one altogether. Fortunately, there is a solution that’s not only practical but also looks cute as well.

Leaning desk shelves are truly the perfect two-in-one home item that allows you to work efficiently in a slim space, while also doubling as a savvy storage option for your office supplies, trinkets, camera collection, and well, the list goes on. These vertically-oriented hybrids allow you to save space and still get to work all without marring your space’s overall aesthetic.
