10 Small Home Office Ideas
Working at home is increasingly routine for office workers everywhere. But not everyone has a spare room to convert into a home office. The good news is that a home office workstation can be anything from a corner of the bedroom to dining room.

Even better, working from home means that you can decorate your home workstation any way you like to suit your personality and cater to what makes you feel productive and focused, be it bright wallpaper, a bunch of plants, ambient lighting, or soft and cozy textures that you wouldn't normally find in an office setting.

1. Short Commute




This apartment home office is tucked in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the bedroom, with a large plant that helps to visually divide the space from the adjacent bed.

2. Minimalist




This compact home office keeps it crisp and graphic with tones of natural hues and functional, minimal decor, plus some natural wood tones thrown in for a bit of warmth.

3. Take a Meeting




This home office has rich shades of gray on the walls and cognac leather upholstered seating that add warmth and comfort, with a setup that's fit for taking meetings with the occasional client or anyone who wants to take a meeting with the boss of the house.

4. Contemporary




This small home office has a black-and-white palette, contemporary furnishings with clean lines, and an assortment of framed photos and prints on the walls for a personal touch.

4. Room With a View




Free up floor space in a small home office by installing a narrow built-in workspace beneath the windows, like this home office with a stunning picture window that brings the outdoors in.

5. Gallery Wall




This small home office space has a simple modern desk, chair, and vintage-inspired lamp, and a wraparound gallery wall of graphic prints and a mirror that make it feel seamlessly integrated into the rest of the home's design.

6. Muted




This light-flooded minimal home office is far from the kids' main play area to help with noise control. Modern millwork along the side wall has a spacious built-in work surface, while closed storage keeps office supplies and files at bay. Muted tones on the walls and built-ins and an overwashed rug in soft colors add softness and create a calming mood.

7. Line Up




This 1960's concept has a home office workstation built for two, with matching everything, and a plant in the middle to visually divide the space.

8. Matte Black




If you find it hard to focus when working outside the office, try painting the walls in a soothing, grounding matte black like this home workspace.

9. Multi-Coloured




You can give a bland all-white space a big dose of personality with a few bold decor choices. This small home workstation has practical built-in storage, and a warm decorative wall sconce, colorful jungle-inspired wallpaper and a multicolored striped upholstered desk chair that makes a statement.

10. Create an Illusion




This small home office space looks twice its size thanks to a view-doubling floor mirror leaned up against the back wall.
