Open shelving allows easy access to books and supplies, but if keeping your shelves tidy and styled isn't your forte, opt for closed storage instead. This top floor attic home office from Leanne Ford Interiors is tucked under the eaves of an old farmhouse. Ford gave the space a fresh, updated feel by using soft white paint on floors, walls, and ceilings, a pale wood waterfall edge desk, and minimal accessories.

Wallpaper Accent
This home office from Jenn Pablo Studio has a built-in corner desk that provides plenty of surface area, and allows you to admire the view or face the wall when it's time to work. You could even go bespoke like in this modern kitchen and have it built into a kitchen cabinet so you have some storage for your office things too and you can keep your laptop or computer in the nook full time. We say it’s a myth that dark color shouldn’t be used in small rooms, sometimes the best option in a small space is to lean into its proportions and embrace the coziness. Deep greys, blues, plums, and even browns can all work well in a small home office – especially if it's in a room of its own so you can go all over with one color. So long as you can work there, there is no size too small for a home office. Whether you're capitalizing on the space under the stairs or are working from a bureau, you can create a home office to suit whatever space you have available.
Think again… A small alcove like this one is the perfect space for a cute little desk. Fixing drawers to the underside of the built-in desk is a great office storage idea when leg space is limited. As long as you can walk comfortably around the desk… this could be a great idea if you need office space for more than 2 people. Keep in mind that the most important thing about a workspace is its functionality.
Don’t torture yourself!
Along with pretty desk styling, a single large canvas print above the desk is one of the simplest ways to include a little bit of your own style in your home office without having to redecorate or possess any special DIY skills.

This elegant home office makes use of plenty of wall storage and a slimline desk to maximize the space.
The whole back wall of this classically masculine home office from Maestri Studio is a dark wood built-in home library, complete with a sliding library ladder for reaching the high shelves. A large pendant light with an amber glow adds warm lighting and an unexpected focal point. If your home office is located steps from the front door, consider modern home office ideas that take the view from the entryway into consideration. This home office from Christina Kim Interior Design is painted in a deep eye-catching blue that contrasts with the all-white entryway.
In this home office from Christina Kim Interior Design, soothing warm medium toned green paint coats the walls and built-in shelving and storage, while pale wood floors and a desk with natural caning details provides contrast. Hebe is the Digital Editor of Livingetc; she has a background in lifestyle and interior journalism and a passion for renovating small spaces. You'll usually find her attempting DIY, whether it's spray painting her whole kitchen, don't try that at home, or ever changing the wallpaper in her hallway. Last year she moved from renting to owning her first teeny tiny Edwardian flat in London with her whippet Willow (who yes she chose to match her interiors...) and is already on the lookout for her next project. Be inspired by this small home office idea and turn an alcove into a workstation. All you need is floating shelves for some handy office storage and either a compact desk that will fit neatly in the space or a slightly deeper shelf you can use as a desk.
If your office is connected to your living space then paint is a quick and easy way to 'zone' the space. Dark colors can work particularly well in small spaces such as home offices, helping to create a cocooning atmosphere to aid concentration. A pocket-sized Notting Hill home office from London-based House 9 Interiors is painted in a medium-toned shade of bluegreen on walls, ceiling, and corner built-in bookshelves that make use of vertical space. Mezzanine home offices will provide a sense of separation between work and home and can be a great space-saving solution. But if you are sensitive to noise or live with other people who are home during the day, keep in mind that they can also feel like an echo chamber that amplifies the slightest sound.
