Setups

You can create a home office with minimal fuss – all you need is enough workspace to get your job done. We bring you same space crunch options.

Convert an awkward little nook into a home office by installing sturdy shelves, a simple desk and cabinet setup.

Stow work materials in a basket below a hallway console to transform it into a desk when needed.

A drop-down leaf in a desk or cabinet lets you instantly access or hide away your office.

Don’t need to forgo your guest room to set up an office. Replace the bed with a stylish daybed or pull out couch. Look out for dual purpose pieces – a desk with a pop-up mirror, which personalize your home office with cool do-dads.

Stylize with color

Color plays a huge impact on what you are trying to achieve and is a powerful decorating tool. Paint your walls in green, blue and purple to achieve a tranquil setting, while warm reds, oranges and yellows will help you stay alert. However in a small area, avoid painting the entire room in one of these latter hues. Use instead as an accent wall.

A Business Approach

You may also need an attractive home office space if you’re going to consult with clients on the premises. This space needs to be kept business-like and private. When you’re choosing a room for your work place, consider the space the client will have to walk through to get to the meeting. He or she won’t form a very good impression of your operation if he has to stroll through your laundry room or follow you through a labyrinth into a dark corner before they get to talk business.

Define your space

If you’re lucky enough to have a separate rook for your home office, the task won’t be so hard. The key to a good home office is to make use of whatever space you have, be it a stair landing a small closet a spare room or an used corner of the living room.
