Install a Wall-Mounted Desk

Don't be discouraged if you lack a designated room for a home office. Add a flip-down work area to just about any corner, and you'll be all set.

Combine Your Office and Playroom

Let the room do double duty as a weekday workspace and a weekend kids' area. Place a pair of toy baskets on an oversize rug and create workstations with built-in desks and shelving for tackling your to-do list.

Carve Out a Nook

Draw inspiration from Kaitlyn Fast and let an oversized mirror steal the show in your home office. "It reflects all the natural light we have in this room and makes it easy to switch out the decor and flowers as each new season arrives," she says.

Display Vibrant Accessories

One of the best ways to bring a compact office setup to life is with bold accessories. California-based party stylist Kelsey Klos went with colorful cake stands, rainbow garland, and more to show off her style.

Embrace Rich Blue

Spruce up an all-white bedroom by weaving a pop of color, like a rich navy, into your closet office setup. Pull the look together with a statement piece of art.

Add a Comfy Sofa

If you're working with a large space, consider incorporating a cozy sofa, as Kari Bancroft, a stay-at-home mom in South Jordan, UT, has done here. It's the perfect spot to step away from your desk, take a call, or catch up on reading.

Put Your Office by the Stairs

Lindi Vanderschaaf and her husband, Russel, opted for an unexpected yet functional office setup — a wall next to the stairs on the first floor of their Grande Prairie, Canada, home. The wood desktop and shelving add contrast to the black-and-white color palette.

Set Up a Workspace in Your Kitchen

If you're unable to dedicate an entire room to your office, carve out a space right in your kitchen. That's just what Heather Keeling of Portland, OR, did. She created a cozy, contemporary workspace with baby-blue penny tile and sleek custom shelving.

Paint a Brick Wall

Baltimore is known for row homes with exposed brick walls, so Megan Leonard of the Our City Nest lifestyle brand chose to make hers the foundation of her office setup. "It provides an instant texture throughout my home that I love to pair with wood accents," she says of the charming design.

Make a Desk Out of Two Dressers

If you've struggled with how to make use of old furniture, this kid's space, designed by Sara Johnston, will inspire you. "We painted two old IKEA dressers with leftover white paint and asked a local lumber provider for the top, which just happened to be shelving cut down to this specific size," she says.

Looking for an easy way to add a playful touch to your office? Consider chalkboard paint that's ideal for putting your to-do list on full display.

Mix Patterns

A home office is the perfect place to experiment with different patterns. Choose a few of your favorite prints for pieces like seating and window treatments, but stick to the same color family for a cohesive look.

Try High Shelves

Don't fret if you're lacking cabinet space. Graphic designer Ashley Smith revamped her compact closet with high shelving that offers just enough room to store books and decorative accents.

Consider Colorful Accessories

If your home office features white walls, introduce color in the form of a desk chair and accessories, like pencil cups, pinboards, and small storage boxes.

Mount Your Desk

Take a cue from Rachel Mae Smith of The Crafted Life blog and mount your desk to the wall. Enhance the low-profile look with a track shelving system and brackets spray-painted in bright hues.

Transform an Unused Closet

No office in your floor plan? Make your own by removing the doors of an empty closet and turning it into a cozy office space. Decorate it like you would any other room: Add wallpaper, light fixtures, and decorative touches.

Use Wire Organizers

Wire shelves and baskets are a simple way to encourage you to keep clutter at bay because, well, you see everything. You can also use 'em to incorporate another color into your space — just add paint.

Go Completely Plaid

Covering a wall with plaid fabric (or any patterned fabric, for that matter) is a clever way to personalize your space. Plus, if you stick thin cork squares behind select areas of the wall, you can pin photos, prints, and notes straight to it.

Add Metallic Accents

Modernize your office space by incorporating an assortment of gold, silver, and rose gold accent pieces (think: lamps, trash bins, and plant misters).

Invest in a Ghost Chair

Timeless design aside, this clear acrylic chair, commonly called the "ghost chair," is a modern-day design that opens up even the smallest spaces (and looks ultra-chic while doing so).

Make an Entire Cork Wall

Prioritize functionality by covering an entire wall in cork square panels. Then pin calendars, to-do lists, and bucket list-worthy photos straight to it.

Bring in a Pop of Color

Give your home office some Scandinavian-inspired flair by keeping your space light, airy, and minimalistic. Adding one colored piece — a bright orange desk chair, for example — makes a statement.

Go for an Unconventional Desk

If you're short on space, stick a console table against a blank wall for a makeshift office. Hang a framed bulletin board directly above the workspace for added inspiration.
