Featuring 6 ideal places in your house to set up your home office.
The move or choice to work remotely comes with the stress of looking for ideal places to set up your home office. Setting up your office desk somewhere in your house with minimal distraction, adequate lighting, and enough space for moving around and storage allows for more efficiency and productivity.
A home office does not require a lot of space because it can be a little room that doesn’t seem fit for anything. It could also be an extra bedroom that you no longer require. These spaces could be used as a workspace at home.
It’s incredibly convenient to have a dedicated space for your home office to house work furniture and office supplies only. It allows you to concentrate and be more creative. You could get ideas for your future project by sitting in a space surrounded by your work or supplies. Distractions by other persons who need to use the same space are likewise kept at bay by the separate room.
If you don’t have the option of a separate room in which to set up your work-from-home space, you may want to consider having multiple working areas. You could go from the couch to the kitchen island and even the bedroom. But when you work from home on a regular basis, this setup may not be ideal. After a while, you realize you need a more permanently allocated workspace to operate from. You can put your desk in any space as long as you can blend it in with the rest of the decor. Here’s how to do it:
1. Fit a desk into an alcove
Alcoves are notoriously difficult to decorate. When all you want to do is show off your gorgeous furniture and accessories and make them seem like a part of your design, the alcove is either too small or too dark for your liking and a bit hidden.
With a suitable work desk, the alcove can be revitalized and well-utilized. It will also be tucked away nicely, causing minimal disruption to the rest of your interior design.
2. Integrate a workspace with fitted storage
A hideaway office relieves you from the unattractive mess that an office desk in the middle of the room may make, as well as the risk of it looking out of place. The closet space provides an isolated location for storing office stuff while taking up the unused space. Depending on the design of the closest, you could customize a tiny desk to fit into the space or use middle shelves as a desk. You may add a few extra upper shelves for added storage.
3. Your dressing table can also be used as an office desk
With no room to carve out a home office, you may not have enough space to accommodate both a dressing table and a separate office desk. Why not make the dressing table multifunctional? Choose a versatile desk with a design that allows it to be used for both purposes. Makeup and office supplies can be separated using organizers and other storage items.
4. Desk in the corner
Empty corners are another ideal spot to put your desk. You can make one in a rectangular, square, or l-shape to fit into the space. For added storage, shelving units can be added and wall decoration to curate the walls.
5. Narrow desk behind the couch
You can fit a compact workstation with a desk and a slender chair in the space behind that couch where nothing really happens. The seat can be slid under the desk when not in use to allow space for movement and prevent clutter.
6. In front of a bay window
Take up dead space in front of a bay window with a work desk. You will benefit from fresh air, sufficient lighting, and a beautiful view as you scrap through your mind for ideas.
A home office can be placed in any room of your home as long as the available space and the overall appearance of the room are taken into consideration. It is also not enough to just combine a few pieces of office furniture. You should also make an effort to create an inspiring work environment.
