How Desk Hutches Work

The traditional style of desk features a surface slab or desktop supported by legs. From there, you have lots of choices to shop, like secretary drawers, file cabinet-tower styles or hybrid designs that combine organizational options.

• By choosing kids desks featuring hutches, you add organizational space. The hutch extends upward from the desk and covers the back portion of the surface slab from side edge to side edge, creating a tall piece of furniture that remains sturdy, balanced and proportionate.
• Look for different configurations of storage when browsing hutches. For instance, some offer a step up from the desk surface, providing an extra drawer and shelf, while keeping a relatively lower profile than other designs. Some are quite tall and feature multiple shelves. These styles may be best when easily secured to a wall with an anchor.
• To add versatility to organization, try a combination of cubbies, bulletin board space, or openings or recesses where computer monitors can be set up in front of a background of personal photos or a mirror.

Organizing a Desk Nook

Getting organized is part of the fun. With a white desk with hutch, you can experiment with whatever order works for you and your kids.

• Place books on shelves within the hutch to the left or right, depending on whether your kid is left-handed or right-handed. A wheeled desk chair lets them get what they need easily.
• Use the shallow or mid-sized drawers to store writing instruments, devices, smaller art supplies, journals or notebooks and more. Reserve larger ones for hobby accessories, larger devices and accessories or a stack of textbooks.
• For kids who use a lot of papers, notebooks or tablets for school or personal pursuits, check out open cubbies that lay flat, taking up just the right amount of space for storage without leaving large visual gaps.

A white desk with hutch gives your kids a chance to design and organize their study alcove or area as they see fit. The result is a space where they can focus and feel good.
