Small Home Office Design Ideas

4th in a series on Home Office

Many people have the desire and the need for home office space, but just don’t have the square footage available for a room set aside for this purpose.
No worries! Take these small home office design ideas and tips and incorporate the best for your particular setting, budget and usage needs.

Find the most practical space in your home for your small home office:


1) A closet - walk in or otherwise
2) A nook, or inset area created by built in bookshelves, for example. 
3) A corner of a room or space
4) Any area that you can carve out of an existing room

• Keep the size of the desk, files, shelves, etc. consistent with the size of the space you are working with. I know it sounds obvious, but do your homework to measure carefully and visualize the results before making purchases.
• Use shelving, bookcases and other similar types of storage to use as much height as practical for your home office supplies and equipment.

Keep organization and minimal clutter as your two top priorities. If you don’t use something regularly, it doesn’t need to be within arm’s reach.
