A place for
every piece.
Sketch a realistic desk layout before adding another object. Measure the surface and the pieces you actually use.
Make room for
what you do.
Your measurements fit this simple layout.
Illustrative placement, scaled to your desk. Oversized pieces are clipped at the edge; the measurements below show any shortfall.
- Front-row width needed
- 105.0 cm
- Width remaining
- 15.0 cm
- Combined depth needed
- 48.0 cm
- Depth remaining
- 12.0 cm
Width = keyboard + mouse + clear area + 6 cm for gaps.
Depth = back row + front row + a 5 cm gap.

What this planner checks
It compares the width of three side-by-side working areas with your usable desktop width. A second check adds the depth of your back-row equipment to your front-row equipment. The built-in gaps are fixed planning allowances: 6 cm across the front row and 5 cm between front and back rows. They are not safety or ergonomic standards.
What still needs a real measurement
Check your monitor’s full width, any stand or clamp, cable exits, desk legs, chair clearance and the support capacity of your furniture separately. A monitor arm may change the layout, but it also introduces mounting and compatibility requirements. Tape the footprint on the desk before making a purchase.
Use the result as a starting point
If a width does not fit, you may be able to move a notebook to the side when typing or keep a lamp off the main surface. If depth is short, rotating the desk or moving furniture may be more useful than a new accessory. The goal is to understand a tradeoff before spending money.
