nooks and corners in your home or shelving options, there are several of
effective ideas to carve out these effective workspaces that are ideal for any
small space.
The key to creating an amazing home office is to have a well thought out
layout and design. You could use the following underused spaces to create
your office zone in the house:
Use Your Corners: Nooks and corners that are the most underutilized spaces
do come in handy when you work with limited space. You can create a brilliant
workspace in a spare corner that you had initially overlooked.
Build an Alcove office: When you are struggling for space, tucking your home
office into an alcove could be the perfect solution. This cosy space could
ensure that you have no distractions.
Closet Space: In case you have no spare space in your house to create a
home office, why not steal a spare closet. You can transform it with
customized small scale furniture or a slab style shelf that can work as a desk,
floating shelves for supplies, etc. You can also use bold colours to brighten up
the space. The possibilities are endless!
Space Behind the Couch: Carve out a home office in your family or common
room by placing your desk behind the sofa. Many times, the space behind
your sofa is the most underutilized blank space. However, it is important that
while choosing a desk to be tucked behind the couch, it must fit into the
design of the room and not create an imbalance in the aesthetic tone of the
room.
Underneath Staircases: It is not uncommon to leave the space next to or
underneath the stairs untouched. The space underneath the stairs makes for

a great working area with shelves and storage spaces. So go ahead and roll
out your creativity to make a statement.
Extra Kitchen Space: Using the kitchen space for creating a home office is not
uncommon these days. You can use the kitchen counter to double up as your
workstation, extend the kitchen counter and add a few more shelves, or just
use a foldout desk. You can get creative and utilize any dead space in the
kitchen to fit your workplace needs. Get playful by using chalkboard paint on
one of the walls.
Here are some ideas that can help you create a stylish home office:
 Choose the right space: The first thing that one needs to consider while
creating an at-home office space is its location in your home. It is important
to have a comfortable and convenient workspace to successfully work from
home. The location would hinge on the type of work you do, your home
environment, and the amount of storage space required for your work.
 Floating Shelves: A great way of conserving the limited square footage of
floor space in the home office is to utilize the vertical wall space by
installing floating shelves. Not only do they give an aesthetic look to your
workspace, but they also ensure that your desk is clutter-free by providing
that extra surface space needed.
 Multi-Purpose Furniture: Figuring out how to configure a home office in
small spaces can sometimes be like building a puzzle. You know what has
to go where but fitting it together can sometimes be a challenge. Using
multipurpose furniture can sometimes be a solution to these woes. Like
using a bookshelf that can also be a desk, a wall-mounted pull-out desk
that doubles as a storage unit, use a console instead of a desk, etc. Get
creative and think outside the box!
 Stay Organized: It is vital to keep your things organised in order to optimise
small home office space and boost productivity. The general clutter that is
synonymous with an office space like files, papers, office supplies, etc.
needs to be stored correctly so that your office space remains on point. It
could be an antique style desk with spacious drawers and built-in small
storage spaces, a tech optimized desk with a keyboard tray, floating
shelves, built-in shelves, hanging an organization station on the wall, desk
organizer, magazine racks, tumblers to store loose pens and pencils,
pushpin boards, tackable wall panels, magnetic memo boards, filing
cabinets, hidden cords, trays on desks to keep papers, mail, etc organised,
baskets to store office knick-knacks that are not frequently used, etc.
So, go ahead and carve out that perfect place to suit your requirements for the
home office.
