20 Ways to Create a Home Office Space
Spare bedroom space [1]
Add an elegant table to a spare bedroom for a polished look and functionality. Keep the desk embellishments simple; this homeowner opted for just a lamp and vase of flowers.
Hallway station [4]
This adorable desk offers both decoration and organization. The stylish lamp and accessories' bright colors coordinate perfectly with the wallpaper and rug.
Closet transformation [7]
Make over a closet into cozy office space. We suggest removing the closet door and replacing it with a curtain. Paint the inside of the closet, and add shelves and wall art. Best part? Close the curtain to leave the office for the day.
Spare corner [10]
Create a whole office space in one corner. Wheeled storage units fit snugly under the desk. Mix art and organization by hanging framed pictures on one wall and a bulletin board on the other.
All-purpose space [13]
Fabric-covered corkboards, pegboards and a chalkboard make a colorful backdrop for kitchen organization, storage and message space. We love pegboards for hanging supply cups and bins for desk supplies.
Entryway simplicity [16]
Tight on floor space? Opt for a sleek stand near the door. It's perfect for sorting mail or paying bills before you head out.
Floating desk [19]
This suspended desk creates a work area in a small space. Old bed springs and repurposed kitchen items make eye-catching accessories.
Attic office [22]
Create an office in the attic for a private work space. This out-of-the-way area is perfect for a slightly messier desk.
Double-duty table [25]
For minimal office storage needs, cover an old table with a stylish slipcover and some fun table-toppers. Store office supplies underneath and bring them out as needed.
Basement office [28]
Section off a work area with a colorful rug. Comfortable chairs add a homey look, while cabinets offer some serious storage.
Entryway catchall [31]
This decorative entryway desk is a catchall for mail and keys, plus it offers a handy place to sit and get organized. Choose a chair that tucks underneath for clear traffic ways.
Moveable office [34]
Choose a small wheeled storage unit if you need your office to be on the move. Pay bills in the kitchen; move to the desk to the living room for scrapbooking.
Cupboard organization [37]
If you need storage more than workspace, a cupboard like this may be the solution. The cabinet houses a printer, sliding trays for office supplies and labeled containers for each family member.
Flexible workspace [40]
This combination of an elegant small desk and upholstered chair would work well in a dining room, living room or hall. If the desk is in your dining area, just move the chair to the table when you need extra seating.
Eye-catching office solution [43]
Make your desk a statement piece. This lean-to shelving and desk unit's dark wood pops against the navy wall. The desk and storage space also preserve floor space.
Streamlined desks [46]
This homeowner created a wall of attractive office space in a bedroom by adding clear chairs and simple, streamlined desks.
Kitchen cubby [49]
This small kitchen desk multitasks as a message center, homework area and organization station. The seating offers additional storage -- and tucks under the desk to preserve traffic flow.
Small space organization [52]
Stack storage if your office space is limited. Hide clutter inside colorful storage bins and behind the curtain under the desk.
Garage workspace [55]
This homeowner set up shop in the garage using simple industrial desk and shelves. When the weather's nice, open the door for a great view.
