Who says you need a lofty corner office to feel inspired? These cozy quarters prove that what you may lack in square footage can be made up for in spades with the right decor.
ALL WHITE
Match your desk, shelves and chair color to the wall to visually open up your work space.
CHEERFUL ACCENTS
Or add one strong pop of color–like this teal desk–to brighten up (and finally make use of) that odd corner of your living room you never knew what to do with.
UNDER THE STAIRS
A tad better than Harry Potter’s cupboard, don’t you think?
NATURAL MATERIALS
Fact: Wood paneling makes everything cozier.
FLUFFY TOUCHES
As do plush rugs and throws.
KITCHEN COUNTER
An office in your kitchen? It doesn’t get much more efficient than that.
BEDSIDE TABLE
OK, we retract that last statement. This is the “get s#%t done” ideal.
CLOSET OFFICE
Need a break from working? Turn your linen closet into a hidden office and you can shut the door at 5 p.m.
HIDDEN DESK
Or you could mount a fold-down desk to the wall and use it whenever you need.
BRIGHT WALLPAPER
Some fresh wallpaper and a shelf can transform that tiny closet (you know, the one you store your umbrellas and used shopping bags in) into a charming little alcove.
WORKING LEDGE
Prefer an office with a view? Add a long shelf along a window and soak in the rays as you work.
