Find yourself working at home all of a sudden? Make yourself as productive as possible by creating the perfect home office with these office space ideas. Easy to implement, these great ideas will help you establish your work area!
I haven't worked in an actual office building since I stopped practicing law in 2016! For over 4 years, I have been working from home. There have been moments where I wanted to scream (working with children and a husband and a dog around can be tricky!) but for the most part, I have really loved it. I know in the last several months MANY of you had to make the switch to working from home and had to do it very quickly! My best tip for anyone adjusting to working from home, is that having an established work area is VITAL to being productive! I wanted to bring you some of my favorite office space ideas for creating your own workspace quickly and easily (and often for little money!). I included quite a few with double workspaces because in today's world lots of couples are sharing office space at home!
My office has switched spots, and been redecorated and reconfigured many times. But you don't have to make huge adjustments to create a home office. Whether you have an empty bedroom, an empty wall, or even just an empty corner or closet, claiming the space as “work only” will make transitioning from home to work mode so much easier.
My office was originally in an unused bedroom upstairs. Once we gave my twins girls each their own rooms and they weren't using their playroom very often, I moved downstairs and took over their playroom (that was meant to be a formal living room).
In my good friend Thea's house, we created her home office in what was meant to be the breakfast room of her kitchen. It is the perfect cozy spot and she has a designated spot to work. Don't get hung up on what a room was meant to be–get creative!
