How to Create an Office Space without an Office

Beth Rice 31/01/2017

Whether you live in an apartment, small home, bungalow, ranch-style farmhouse, or manor, there’s a spot that can be turned into an office space. And selecting the right custom furniture will help transform the space.

A Bedroom Work Space

A quiet bedroom corner is conducive to creativity. Whether you’re reading, writing, or just catching up on the daily mail, a space in your guest or master bedroom can be transformed into an office. Keep the layout simple with just a desk and lamp. Keep only your laptop on your work surface so you can take full advantage of the space. A secretary desk, writing desk, or a Murphy bed and desk combination are sure to do the trick.

The Amish Regal Writing Desk offers a lovely spot to read, write, and create.

A Hallway Haven

Your hallway, whether modest or grand, can serve as a host to a lovely office space. A simple solid wood desk can add to the décor while providing a quiet work space. A great candidate for your hallway office is a simple and sure writing desk.

Add luxury to the hallway with the Amish Eckstein Writing Desk.

The Spare Corner

Seek out that odd corner that has nothing in it and turn it into your home office. Find a solid wood table that provides room for your laptop, lamp, and writing pad, or have a desk custom-made to fit the exact dimensions of the corner. You can add a chair if there’s enough room or just plan on pulling a dining room chair over when you work.

The Woodville Corner Desk is a custom fit for your spare corner.

Entryway Efficiency

Style a writing desk or accent table right in your entryway to serve as your office space. Select a desk that can double as a decorative hall table when you’re not hard at work.

Secretary in the Living Room

You can easily create an office space in any room. A secretary desk is a great option for the living room. Opened it supplies a workspace, and closed it acts as a decorative accent. Use a chair from the dining room table at your living room desk space.

Watch the Amish Mission Secretary Desk blend beautifully in your living room or family room.

Work by a Window

Let some light shine in as you work by a window. Select a writing desk or a sofa table that blends with existing furniture.

Something Near the Sofa

Set up the perfect desk space behind the sofa with a sofa table that blends in with your décor like the versatile style of the American Mission Sofa Table with Drawers.
