Whether you were forced to work from home because of a certain global event, you choose to do so for convenience or otherwise, we’re all for it. But one thing we hate is seeing people WFH in spaces that are so uninspiring you might as well be stuck in a stress-inducing, energy-depleting office block.

So, here are some of the most beautifully modern office spaces to transform the aesthetic of your at-home work days for good!

19 Modern Office Spaces

Sleeker Than Sleek

A black office space will never not look absolutely incredible. And we know we’re not the only ones who think so. 

If you’re the type of decorator that feels most comfortable using a strictly monochromatic colour palette, this is a fabulous (and certainly very sophisticated) choice.

Double Trouble

Working from home with your other half, biz partner, or remote worker bestie? A dual workspace is, without a doubt, one of the most trendy modern office spaces for the 21st century.

Though we cannot be held responsible for a downfall in productivity levels…

Reading Nook

Will we ever not be obsessed with beautifully styled, super snug, and undeniably inviting reading nooks? We think not.

A reading nook helps you lean into a slower, more laid-back work day by providing you with a relaxed at-home retreat to put your feet up. Plus, it gives you one heck of a stylish backdrop for those never-ending Zoom calls.

Mirroring Forms

To many, this monochromatic space is nothing to write home about. But it’s only when you focus your attention a little closer that you’ll notice tiny yet intentional details that give this space an eye-catching edge.

One of them being the dramatic curves of the stunning window mirrored in the dinky desk chair. Softening the look of such a stark colour palette, mimicking forms is always a great way to add intrigue to your space.

Rich Wood Accents

One thing we’re absolutely obsessed with about this home office? The rich, tonal woods of the desk and wall shelves exude a beautifully soft and inviting feel.

And this is only enhanced by the colour-matched paint and wall panels, making the entire space feel super snug with an expensive finish. 

Love upscale interiors? We’ve found some of the best West Elm luxury office furniture dupes to create a stunning at-home workplace!

Calming Colours

In a space often associated with stress and pressure, we love selecting colour palettes that influence feelings and emotions. That’s why calming neutral tones like powder blues, soft greys, and muted tans are a real power move for your office.

Bare Bricks

Love modern design but also can’t help swooning over industrial style interiors? 

Stripping your office walls back to brick (or cheating with quality wallpaper!) is a brilliantly timeless way to inject limitless visual intrigue into your space. 

Compact Cabinetry

Minimalism is one of the most prominent characteristics of modern interior design. So, when it comes to styling your office, investing in quality cabinetry to stow away clutter is a fabulous idea.

Simple Shelving 

Obsessed with clean lines? You’re in luck! Modern spaces often feature straight, crisp forms, creating a calm and composed look. 

Simple wall shelves are one of the easiest ways to implement this concept in your space. Bonus points if the shelves match your desk, bringing a sense of balance and unity! 

Bursting with Life

Bringing greenery into your space will always add vibrancy whilst delivering a long-lasting fresh feel. That’s why introducing plants or flowers into modern office spaces is one of our favourite (and most simple) decorating ideas.

Psst… this same vibe works effortlessly for any room in your place – have a look!

Go Nude

When we say nude, we mean neutral, of course. And despite a sudden spike in its craze during recent years (hello cream bouclé everything!), we reckon neutral interior decor is here to stay. 

So, it’s a no-brainer choice for those wanting to create perpetually trendy modern office spaces.

White & Silver

Rarely do we see an abundance of silver accents in modern office spaces. Thanks to its effortlessly sleek vibe, black is very often the go-to, followed by gold or brass for a boujee finish. 

But silver seriously brightens your workspace, cleverly bouncing light into the room. No matter how you style the rest of the room, splashes of silver are destined to elevate your office.

Matchy-Matchy

Natural materials are often what makes modern interior design so popular thanks to the homey, inviting feel they exude.

So, when picking furniture pieces, we love pairing rich woods with expensive leathers. And don’t be afraid to colour match – when you play with contrasting materials, a monochromatic palette will never look boring and will instead create an expensive finish. 

Custom-Made Joinery

Creating a large workspace with plenty of room to check off your daily to-dos, this custom-made desk is a brilliantly modern concept.

And although the exact setup is entirely dependent on the existing architecture of the property, you can mirror a similar design in almost any space. The best part is, the design is totally up to you. All it takes is a little creativity and a reliable joiner.

Need an office desk with drawers minus the faff? You already know we’ve found some of the best picks!

Funky Wallpaper

One thing we absolutely love about this modern office interior design? The “loud” wallpaper doesn’t appear too overbearing at all, because it actually brings balance to the space.

Allow us to explain…

Without it, the extensive wall and ceiling panelling would steal all the attention. But having such a bold paper brings the eyes back to what is in the forefront of this carefully constructed, mature home office!

Peek-a-Boo

Ever feel like you’re completely disconnected from family life when working in your home office? 

For some, this works wonders. But for others, like stay-at-home mums, it’s totally impractical to be “cooped up”. So, where possible, adding an internal window provides a way to stay in-the-know, whilst simultaneously welcoming more light into your home.

Embrace Multifunctional Living

Residing in a dinky apartment and wondering how on earth to create a beautifully modern office with minimal floor space?

There are so many small office design ideas, but one of our faves for modern-day living is to blend your workstation into your existing living area. 

Looking for a small office chair? There are so many chic designs to suit tiny spaces!

Statement Shelving 

In stark contrast to simple, no-fuss shelves, these super funky wall shelves are fabulous in their own way – if you love bold decor.

We reckon you’ll need to invest time into planning exactly how the custom composition will look in your office. But when the job’s done, you can bet you’ll have one of the most modern office spaces on the block. 

Level Up

L-shaped staircases make for super cool and brilliantly unique modern office spaces. And we love that this genius concept is pretty compact, helping those with the smallest of properties create a stunning home office.

This post was all about the most modern office spaces to inspire a gorgeous WFH setup. Looking for more inspo? We’ve got plenty of design ideas for your home office!

We all remember our first time stepping foot inside a West Elm store, right? Around every corner was a jaw-dropping display of the most perfectly crafted furniture pieces and otherworldly accessories to give your home a strikingly opulent edge.

But their luxury furniture – especially luxury office furniture – comes at an eye-watering price tag (often up to 1k). So, here are our top dupes of desks, chairs, and shelves that are shockingly similar but significantly cheaper than West Elm’s to-die-for collection.

Luxury Office Furniture: The BEST West Elm Dupes for 2024

Category: Luxury Office Chair

Mid-Century Leather Swivel Chair

The OG: Cooper Mid-Century Leather Swivel Office Chair

The Dupe: Stephanie Faux Leather Office Chair

We’re not surprised Wayfair has delivered the goods for this one. Offering thousands of gorgeous brands all in one place, their online store is a haven for the most affordable homeware.

This mid-century modern brown leather dupe is to-die-for (and a mere fraction of the price of West Elm’s dreamy design). When comparing the two, the only noticeable difference is a slightly higher back, which we can only see as a plus to enhance workplace ergonomics.

Cream & Gold Swivel Office Chair

The OG: Lenox Swivel Office Chair

The Dupe: Carson Carrington Gallivare Velvet Task Chair

If style is your #1 priority in your home office, then this Bed Bath & Beyond dupe for West Elm’s Lenox desk chair is perfect.

The overall design is slightly more basic, opting for just four legs instead of five, and a smaller back support panel. But the cream and gold colourway looks just as lavish, levelling up any workspace with the most affordable luxury office furniture.

Mid-Century Wall Desk

The OG: Mid-Century Wall Desk

The Dupe: Crosley Furniture Landon Wall Desk

If, like us, you go all jelly-like at the very sight of West Elm’s mid-century pieces, you’ve probably already swooned over this iconic wall desk. Comprising a petite drawer beneath the workspace and an overhead storage area with sliding doors, it encompasses everything we know this beautiful style to be.

But we can think of a gazillion things we’d buy for the exact same price.

That’s why we’re obsessed with this dupe on Amazon. Courtesy of Crosley Furniture Store, the two pieces look almost identical – bar the beautifully shaped wooden legs and the price, which is under a third of the cost of West Elm’s model.

Ladder Shelf Storage Desk

The OG: Ladder Shelf Storage Desk (71cm)

The Dupe: Zipcode Design Coby 38” Desk

To be honest, it’s hard to find a reasonably priced ladder shelf desk without compromising too much on quality. It’s got to have that strong, rigid structure to “lean” against your office walls.

So, if this is the type of luxury office furniture you’ve long had saved to your Pinterest boards, you unfortunately won’t be saving a ton of money here. But at least you’re not paying West Elm’s eye-watering price, because we’ve found a brilliant alternative at Wayfair.

Take a peek and tell us if you can spot the difference – we’ll confidently bet that you can’t.

White & Gold Quinn Desk

The OG: Quinn Desk

The Dupe: Richmond Ridged Dressing Table

Tapping more into that glamorous “it girl” vibe, this contemporary style white and gold desk is a real beauty. But the Pinterest-perfect fluted drawers and thoughtful details like the adjustable base levellers mean the Quinn desk is as expensive as it looks and feels.

West Elm is notorious for upping their prices with each additional detail – and we can’t blame them. But thank goodness Daals has a brilliant low-cost dupe, and, dare we say, we actually prefer it.  

Yes, the chic gold handles are a little bigger, demanding more attention. But the bottom bar is placed at the far back rather than in the middle (like West Elm’s design), making for a more comfortable, unobstructive desk experience.

Category: Luxury Office Bookshelves

Black Profile Bookcase

The OG: Profile Bookcase

The Dupe: 4 Tier Metal Frame Bookcase

Every well-equipped home office requires a sizable bookshelf to house the essentials combined with a few decorative pieces for aesthetic appeal – we don’t make the rules.

We adore the Profile Bookshelf by West Elm, and it’s one of their luxury office furniture pieces that you could probably style in any corner of your home. But it’s ridiculously pricey for what it is (sorry!). 

Whilst the design isn’t an exact copy-and-paste, this quirky Amazon dupe is a brilliant find. It might not have as many shelves, but it’s got bundles of visual intrigue, making it a stylish – and much cheaper – workspace addition.

Working with a dinky workspace? There are so many super clever office ideas for small spaces. Take a peep!

Mid-Century Bookshelf with Drawer

The OG: Mid-Century Bookshelf with Drawer

The Dupe: Target Crosley Landon Small Bookcase

On the market for a neat bookshelf with a sleek hideaway compartment? Many mid-century furniture pieces feature large drawers, helping you achieve a simple, clutter-free aesthetic. 

West Elm’s mid-century bookshelf boasts a beautiful design with its subtle A-frame silhouette, open and close storage options, and antique bronze handle. But you’re essentially paying for the brand name, because Target offers an almost identical model for roughly half the price. 

The only noticeable difference? West Elm’s design flaunts a curved wood structure, showing off slightly more luxury finishing touches.

Luxury: something that improves comfort, ease, or beauty and typically involves great expense, but isn’t necessary to have. 

Whilst we like to think we’re satisfied with a simple, low-key life, it’s okay to want a little opulence every now and again. And what better place to inject that into your home than your office?

In this post, we’ll share 9 stunning luxury office room designs to suit every interior taste!

Luxury Office Room Designs

Add a Fireplace

Typically found in cosy hangout spots such as the living space or bedroom, a fireplace makes a beautiful addition to a luxury office room.

We adore the transitional style in the photo above. The rich wood mantel and stone-effect tile gives it everlasting character with a rustic edge whilst the glass front leans into more modern design concepts.

Focus on Accessories

A home office doesn’t need to be boring, leading you to resent working in such an uninspiring and unmotivating environment.

Make it your own – give it a little personality with home decor pieces you love, such as striking artwork. Or, if you prefer more subtle design statements, opt for a statement lamp, a characterful desk, or vintage ornaments.

The perfect partner for a luxury office room at home? A luxury leather office chair!

Place Your Desk in the Centre

Nothing screams luxury more than positioning your desk front and centre, right? Add a couple of accent chairs to nail this “boss” vibe.

Even better, this easy-to-recreate design works brilliantly in a myriad of different luxury office room layouts. So, grab your painter’s tape and see what position works best in your unique space (learn more here)!

Use Soft Spotlights for a Calming Vibe

Often find yourself stuck at your desk in the early morning or late evening?

One of the most overlooked design concepts when styling a luxury office room is to switch up your lighting. Introducing hidden spotlights creates a beautifully relaxing atmosphere without adding to the strain on your eyes with harsh bulbs.

Create a Chill-Out Spot

Your “workspace” doesn’t have to be restricted to a solemn desk plonked in the middle of your luxury office room.

WFH gives you the freedom to create an uplifting, fun-filled space you really want to work from. So, why not switch up your “desk”? Add a comfy couch and a coffee table – you can even mount a screen to your wall to make pointless team calls completely effortless.

Maximise Light with Mirrors

Working from a dark and dismal space not only feels super uninspiring and unmotivating, but dramatically affects your mood.

So, one of the best ways to “fake” plenty of natural light? Invest in lots of large mirrors. These mirrored wardrobes are working their magic to bounce light back into every corner of this top-floor office, and we couldn’t be more obsessed.

TOP TIP: If you want to create a really bright and airy space, be wise with your flooring and furniture choices – the lighter, the better!

Lean Into the “Less is More” Mentality

We’ve all heard of quiet luxury or “old money”, right? 

In relation to interior design, this means embracing a minimalist or “basic” style and investing in perpetually quality pieces. It’s not “showy” or OTT, but the opposite – understated and refined.

Luxury doesn’t need to be extravagant and attention-grabbing. Nor does it need to be glitzy or glamorous. Choosing simple yet functional pieces that work brilliantly for you in your home office is often all the luxury you need.

Looking for an office desk with drawers? Here are some of the most practical models we’ve found!

Hide Clutter with Custom Built-Ins

If you love that sleek, tidy look, then custom built-ins are definitely the way to go. Providing a ton of storage without detracting from the aesthetic appeal of your office space, you really can’t go wrong!

Play with Natural Textures & Materials

For those that don’t want their workspace to look like a cookie-cutter IKEA showroom (not the vibe for a luxury office room), introducing rich woods, sumptuous leathers, and cosy furs is what to do.

Plus, we’ll always, always, always preach that natural materials look a million times more visually intriguing than man-made materials. So, move aside plastic.

TOP TIP: You don’t need to invest in real materials, such as leather and fur if that’s not your kinda thing. Faux alternatives still deliver the same wow factor without the guilt.

It’s no secret that we’re in short supply of super cool home office ideas for him. Pinterest just isn’t delivering the inspo we need, is it? 

That’s why we’ve rounded up a generous handful of the best mens office ideas. We promise there’s something to suit every interior style no matter what you use your office space for! 

Home Office Ideas for Him

1. Adopt an Industrial Vibe

Industrial styling has always leant into more of a strong, masculine aesthetic. It’s not pretty or flouncy like some interior design styles – every element reflects a hardy, raw, exposed, and often unfinished look whilst still remaining effortlessly sleek.

Make sure to incorporate lots of industrial materials, such as wood, metal, concrete, and brick. Then, complement your “foundation” with plenty of stunning vintage furniture pieces to further enhance that “weathered, lived-in” vibe.

2. Create a Gadget Shelf

What if, instead of having all your office essentials sprawled out across your desk, you could keep them super organised whilst remaining at close reach? 

One of the most trendy home office ideas for him is a compact gadget shelf – a dedicated space to keep everything you need. It’s smart, it’s organised, and it makes working from your office feel completely effortless. 

3. Go for a Minimally Smart Look

Why bother with all that fussy decor, ey?

Sometimes, in a space like your office, where you need to focus without distraction, you can do away with the clamour of chaotic decor. So, keep it minimal, adding only what’s 100% necessary to your space. It can still look pretty cool if you get the foundational furniture pieces just right.

On the hunt for a luxury leather office chair? We’ve got you!

4. Introduce Cosy Lighting

Whether hitting the office before sunrise, late into the early hours of the morning, or during the darkest winter days, your desk space should make you feel at home.

Adding cosy lighting is not only a practical decor idea, but one that’ll make working on the hardest days feel so much easier!

5. Play with an Accent Wall

Home office ideas for him can be tricky to execute without making them look too “corporate”. But one thing that’ll certainly give it a homey, personalised, and fun edge is a funky accent wall.

Go crazy with whatever colour you’re naturally drawn to – after all, you want to create a space you love being in. Just don’t forget to add a little wall decor to further enhance that relaxed, lived-in vibe. 

Perhaps some wall decor prints would complete the space?

6. Embrace Natural Materials

If you want to create a space that feels effortlessly cohesive, introducing plenty of natural materials is the way to go.

The unique tones, textures, and patterns also create limitless visual intrigue in a way that feels wonderfully laid back and not too intentional.

7. Opt for a Moody Colour Palette

A home office is the perfect place to play with a moody colour palette, covering every inch of your walls with a bold, rich paint.

If you’re gonna do it, there’s just one rule – don’t hold back. Create a brilliantly bold and dramatic space with hues that instantly make your jaw drop. We promise it won’t “box in” or make your space feel small. It’ll give it the personality it needs to become one of the most visually intriguing rooms in your home.

Got a poky office space? Here are the best small office accessories!

8. Put Your Essentials on Display

Some believe open shelving is an open invite for mess and clutter. But in a home office – or any office, for that matter – a little clutter is part and parcel of the environment. 

So, our biggest tip is to combine the essentials with the accessories. Weave in some aesthetic decor pieces to create an intentional shelving unit that does more than simplify your WFH days.

9. Build Your Workspace Upwards

Ugh… we’re about to sound like a broken record, but here goes – decorating vertically instead of horizontally helps to make the most of small spaces!

This is without a doubt one of the most genius small home office ideas for him. Why? Because it enables you to squeeze so much more into your compact space. Plus, the “built up” vibe actually creates a cosy, inviting feel.

10. Invest in a Quality Desk

Consider your desk the centrepiece of the entire room – the thing your eyes are instantly drawn to. Of course, you can scrimp on this home office essential, but this is ultimately what will set the tone for your space.

So, if you’re going to invest in anything for your home office, it’s got to be this. 

11. Coordinate Your Cabinetry

If you want a super sleek vibe in your home office, decking the room out in coordinating cabinetry is the way to go!

Not only does the cohesiveness create a luxury finish, going all-out with floor-to-ceiling cabinets allows you to “hide” clutter and create a clean, minimalist space.

12. Diversify Your Workspaces

Let’s not pretend that sitting at the same desk for hours on end is the most inspiring way to go about your day…

A change of scenery is often just what you need to benefit from a boost of motivation. So, if you have the floor space in your home office, why not add in a comfy accent chair? Just make sure it offers enough support to allow sitting for long periods of time. 

Psst… if you’re looking for an office desk with drawers, we’ve got 9 ultra stylish picks!

13. Let Natural Light Flood In

Sometimes, it’s best to embrace the structural features of your room, and let the decor blend into the background. 

For example, if you have a beautiful big window like this, make it the focal point. Pick out low-key office furniture and sheer curtains to let sunlight flow in and fill your space with warmth all day long!

14. Adorn Your Walls with Visually Aesthetic Shelves

PSA: your workspace can be both insanely practical and beautifully aesthetic.

It’s time to switch off the “background blur” feature on Zoom and finally take pride in your home office. The easiest way to do that is with visually intriguing shelves. Fill them with gadgets, books, or plants – anything that inspires you to get sh*t done!

15. Stick to Black and White

If you’re looking for mens office ideas that will stand the test of time, black and white is the way to go.

Plus, a monochromatic space is super easy to style – just don’t go too OTT with black furniture and accessories. A bright and airy space is much more inviting, especially during those days you really don’t want to be cooped up in your office.

Only got space for a small office chair? We’ve found 17 of the best designs!

16. Create a Gallery Wall

Why stare at a blank wall all day when you can adorn those very walls with motivational prints, cherished photographs, and visually intriguing art? 

Mix and match frames to create an inspiring gallery wall in your home office and make those WFH days soooo much easier. Trust us, if low-effort is your decorating style, this is one of the best home office ideas for him. 

17. Embrace an Old School Vibe

Are you a pen and paper kinda guy? 

Forget about all the modern gadgets and do things your own way by leaning into more traditional office essentials, like a chalkboard. If a wall mounted board doesn’t appeal, you can always spruce up your walls with chalkboard paint!

18. Paint Over Exposed Brick

If you hate fussy interiors, painting over exposed brick is one of our favourite home office ideas for him. Bringing bundles of texture and dimension, a shedload personality, and plenty of visual intrigue to your space, there’s no need to mull over how to give your workspace that special touch – it’s already got it.

19. Simplify Shelving with a Library Ladder

Whether displaying files, books, or WFH gadgets, floor-to-ceiling shelving is always a pretty cool idea. There’s just one problem – reaching the top shelf (especially in homes with towering ceilings). And that’s where a library ladder comes in.

20. Create a Perfectly Imperfect Aesthetic

We’ll never not be obsessed with perfectly flawed design details – like this genius wallpaper, printed with an already-worn-in finish. When you introduce modern furniture pieces, it creates a space that brilliantly balances the perfect with the imperfect. 

21. Be Intentional with Materials

22. Strip It Back to the Bare Minimum

23. Invest in Statement Furniture

24. Evoke Calm & Serenity with Soft Lighting

25. Introduce a Muted Wallpaper

26. Minimise Clutter with Sleek Wardrobes

27. Open Up the Floor Space

We love busy interiors in the right room. But in a man’s home office, excessive clutter is a no-no. Your mind needs the freedom to get creative and focus when necessary, and a messy, crowded space will only make that feel impossible.

28. Embrace Unusual Forms

29. Get Cosy with Venetian Blinds

30. Play with Strip Lighting

31. Build a Custom Bookshelf

32. Go For a Wash of Colour

33. Let Your Fixtures Do the Talking

34. Get Savvy with Wall Dividers

35. Embrace Floating Furniture

36. Keep Your Setup Simple

37. Go Against the Grain with a Pop of Colour

What is the Best Colour for a Man’s Home Office?

It totally depends on the vibe you’re going for. Darker tones certainly lean into a moody, masculine feel, and perfectly fit the design brief for any man cave. But lighter colours help to create a fresh, inviting space ripe for bouncing light into the room – something that may be important for creatives who aren’t just staring at a screen from 9-to-5.

How Do You Make an Office Masculine for Guys?

Aside from the colour palette, there are some pretty genius ways to create a masculine home office. Start with the materials – rich leather, heavy cotton, and chunky wool are great picks. You can also add texture with exposed bricks, worn metals, and homely woods to help you lean into a rugged, industrial kind of aesthetic.

What Should You Put on a Man’s Desk?

If we know one thing about guys, it’s that they’re all about the coolest gadgets and gizmos. Whether it’s a handy-dandy headphone holder or an all-singing-all-dancing desk lamp, the best men’s home office setups do way more than what you’d expect.

Of course, there are thousands of cheap office chairs on the market (you can find our pick of the best small office chair designs here).

5. Devoko Double Padded Office Chair in Blue

Style Brief: Timelessly Sleek

Benefits: Double Padded, Height Adjustable, Ergonomic Design

There’s a strange misconception that it’s tricky to introduce colour into your home without it looking like you’ve stepped into a headache-inducing 90s kids birthday party (enter the decade of the boring beige interiors!). But when it’s as subtle as this gorgeous blue faux leather, it’s super easy to introduce depth and vibrancy.

We love that this office chair offers perpetual style, whilst also bringing unrivalled comfort in the form of a double padded back and seat. 

6. Yaheetech Mid Back Leather Office Chair

Style Brief: Sleek, Compact & Contemporary

Benefits: Height Adjustable, Swivel, 5 Wheels

9. BELLEZE Bentwood Desk Chair

12. Vinsetto Mid Back Executive Office Chair

Style Brief: Retro Executive

Benefits: Mid Back, Ergonomic Design, Swivel, Height Adjustable

13. Vinsetto Mid Back Tufted Chair

Style Brief: Contemporary with Traditional Influences

Benefits: Mid Back, Tilt Function, Height Adjustable

The colour, the silhouette, the price. Chef’s kiss.

This is another beauty from Vinsetto, and it’s fair to say we can’t decide which is our favourite.

14. Chairus Desk Armchair with No Wheels

Style Brief: Trendy & Modern

15. EMMA + OLIVER High Back White Leather Chair

Ready to splash out? This luxury executive office chair comes at an eye watering price tag – but for good reason.

We completely understand the struggle of creating a comfortable office in a smaller-than-you’d-like space. 

Whether you’re dealing with a pocket-sized room or you’re figuring out how to section off an existing room to function as a workspace, we’ve got you. 

This post details 13 clever office ideas for small spaces, inspiring you to unleash your creativity and build a functional office in your home or apartment.

Office Ideas for Small Spaces

Put Your Storage in the Spotlight

There’s a good chance you don’t have enough room for multiple shelves and cabinets. So, embrace work from home essentials by creating a floor-to-ceiling display of your most important books and documents. The best thing is, this works for any interior style – just use this as your blueprint. 

You can even weave some accessories in there for a more magazine-ready office setup.

Perfect Your POV

Trust us, one of the best office ideas for small spaces is to zone in on how you’ll feel when working in the space. For example, facing a blank wall is uninspiring to a hellish extent, not to mention it’ll probably make your workspace dull and dingy.

Placing your desk in front of a window means natural light can seep in, making your work area feel bright and inviting!

Embrace Vertical Styling

Whether adding a functional workspace into your hallway, tucking it into the corner of your living room, or disguising at the end of your landing, styling vertically is always better than horizontally.

All too often we forget about the empty spaces above and below our furniture pieces. So, this clever idea helps you make use of every square inch whilst keeping your office space beautifully compact.

Psst… check out our post on cool home office designs for small apartments to find even more ideas like this!

Create a Half Wall Divider

We know it’s not always possible to have a completely separate office room (hello, this entire post has been written from a folding desk and a dining chair in my bedroom!).

Sometimes, you have to get creative and build a workspace to fit your house or apartment. Adding a half wall divider is one of the most underrated office ideas for small spaces, helping you section off conflicting spaces without feeling ‘boxed in’.

Blend Your Desk with a Bookshelf

When creating office designs for small spaces, you’ve got to think outside the box just a little. Building your desk into your bookshelves is a super savvy way to save tons of square footage and keep your workspace super streamline. We. Are. Obsessed.

Design a Custom-Made Desk

We’re SO guilty of going to our fave home decor stores and searching for *hours* to find the perfect furniture piece with the exact measurements we’re looking for.

But let’s get real for a sec. 

Some spaces are just waaaay too awkwardly shaped to bother with the hassle. That’s why we’re all about investing in quality, custom-made pieces instead. Trust us, it’ll completely transform your space, improving both the functionality and the aesthetics!

Keep It Light & Airy

We briefly touched on this already, but a dull workspace really can impact how you function (don’t ask us anymore about it than that, we don’t know the science!).

But it makes sense that sitting down to complete your tasks in a bright, light, and inviting place gets the good vibes flowing, right? So, if you can, place your desk in direct sunlight. And opt for white or cream furniture pieces and paint colours to really open up the room.

Less is More

When it comes to clever office ideas for small spaces, we swear by this one. Don’t over complicate your desk with faffy ornaments, fancy wall art and all the rest of it – especially if it’s positioned in the corner of your room. This will only make it feel cluttered and boxed-in.

Go for neutral paint on the walls, minimal yet considered decor pieces, and lightweight, streamline furniture.

Maximise Space with Clever Furniture Choices

Desk ideas for small spaces can often seem few and far between as many modern pieces favour chunky, standout designs. 

But choosing a minimalistic desk will certainly complement the restricted space in your home much more. We’d opt for glass – although it’s hard to maintain, the opacity creates an illusion of light and space. Smart, right?

Mesh Your Office with Existing Living Spaces

If you don’t have a standalone office room, you can create a workspace within one of your existing living spaces – we’re talking the bedroom, your closet, or your kitchen. Enter the endless wonders of the built-in desk. 

Ofc, IKEA is probably your best bet to craft perfectly fitted custom furniture. But if you’re a dab hand at DIY, you can easily replicate this small office design with any of your fave pieces.

Transform Your Spare Closet

We know, not everyone is lucky enough to have an empty closet at their disposal. So, if you are, you MUST take advantage (if only for the sake of us with multiple chests of drawers and a freestanding wardrobe to hoard our finest gear). 

A closet makes the *perfect* cosy office nook. Consider it the opportunity you needed to transform your workspace into a relaxation haven complete with soft mood lighting and luxury candles.

Embrace Under Stair Space

Obviously we can’t take the credit for this one – kitting out the area under your stairs is one of the most genius office ideas for small spaces. And one we’ve (and mostly likely you’ve) seen a gazillion times before.

But this savvy design idea is just too good not to add into this post!

Utilise an Under Stair Cupboard

Did we save the best until last? Possibly!

Office ideas for small spaces seriously don’t get better (or more innovative) than this – a fully-enclosed under stair storage area.

This is one of those DIY projects we always thought was waaaaay too much hassle, but it makes total sense when you’ve got a dinky home. 

TOP TIP: Add a bifold door to save floor space when your “office” is in use!

When you’ve only got a small office to work with, you’ve got to get a little creative with your accessories. 

But don’t worry, we’ve found some of the savviest small office must-haves so you don’t have to. Here you’ll find everything from the space-saving organisational pieces to super stylish desk lamps!

Small Office Accessories That Just Make Sense

3-Tier Desk Organiser

Assuming you have limited space besides your workspace, such as drawers or a shelving unit, you’ll have to think outside the box when it comes to organisation. We always recommend storing items vertically – above and below your desk – to make the most of your available space.

(If you’ve read this blog post, you’ll know this is one of the biggest tips for creating a cool home office in tiny spaces!)

That’s why one of the first items that should be on your small office shopping list is without a doubt a desk organiser. 

Again, we’re not here for organisers that take up too much square footage. So, something with plenty of stacked drawers is ideal. This one has neat, compact compartments for grab-and-go items like paper clips or post-it notes.

The Ultimate Desktop Organiser 

*If* you’re lucky enough to have a little extra room on your desk, investing in a do-it-all organiser is a savvy way to have everything you need in one place.

We’re obsessed with this all-white design. Again, it’s constructed to take up more space vertically than horizontally, which is exactly what you need.

Plus, it quite literally holds everything from important files to pens, pencils – you name it.

But the best bit? It actually looks pretty on your desk (peep the super cute drawer handle!).

Wooden Docking Station

Those who have a desktop computer will adore this simple wooden docking station. Super slimline and compact, it’s just the right size to place between your monitor and keyboard.

From your daily dose of caffeine to pens and paper clips, it provides an organised home for your desk essentials.

Expandable Desktop Bookshelf

In a small office, sometimes you only just have enough room for the basics, such as your desk and desk chair.

A bookshelf would seem like a luxury for many. But we’ve found the ultimate solution – an expandable desktop bookshelf.

Compact? Yes. Practical? Yes. Aesthetic? Yes. it’s a winner in our eyes!

Self-Adhesive Under Desk Storage Drawers

We get it. Not every desk has drawers – especially the more simplistic designs that are most suited to a small office.

But having a separate set of drawers will only take up more space in your already-somewhat-cramped work area. The solution? Self-adhesive under desk storage drawers.

These are pure GENIUS. Not only do they leave practically zero traces behind thanks to the sticky patches, they’re actually pretty aesthetic, too!

Swivel Under Desk Drawer Organiser

We’re just out here wondering why we’ve never seen anything like this swivel under desk drawer organiser before, because this is genius for a small office.

If aesthetics aren’t your number one priority, get it in your shopping basket ASAP.

Performing as an extension of your desk, it holds everything you use on the daily right by your side and keeps your (assumingly small) desk clear of clutter.

25-Piece Clear Drawer Dividers

One of the biggest tips for styling a small office space is to find a desk with plenty of drawers.

But the trick for fitting as much as possible in your drawers is all down to how they’re organised. Drawers dividers are your best bit, and this set is the best we could find.

With 25 pieces in different shapes and sizes, you’ll have to play a little Tetris to find a composition that works for your drawers – but it’s worth it to keep things compact in your small office!

White 3-Drawer Rolling File Cabinet 

If you deal with a lot of important docs on the reg, you definitely need somewhere to keep them safe and sound.

We scoured the web for quality cabinets and they all had one thing in common – a super wide, chunky build. But luckily, we found the perfect model that sits discreetly underneath your desk without taking up too much leg room!

Black Wall Mounted Desk Light

Chances are, you probably don’t have much room on your desk for a lamp, right?

So, we recommend making use of your walls to light up your workspace (remember, style upwards not outwards)!

We loooove this black swing arm lamp – it’s simple yet chic, and super practical thanks to the extendable design.

Clip-On Desk Lamp

Not physically possible to add a wall mounted lamp? There’s an alternative that’s slightly less aesthetic, but more than ideal for a small office – a clip-on desk lamp.

This one is super minimalistic, meaning it’ll blend pretty effortlessly with any decor. But more importantly, it goes above and beyond when it comes to functionality with multiple colours and brightness levels.

Grey Concrete Desk Lamp

What can we say? We LOVE picking out unique lighting – and this concrete beauty is no exception.

Dainty with an unmissable presence, it’s the perfect size to pop in the corner of your desk and brighten up your workspace on a gloomy day.

And simple as it may be, the trick to making this small office essential look as stylish as it is practical is all in which filament bulb you choose. Take your pick here!

Wall Mounted File Holder

As we previously mentioned, the smartest space-saving accessories for your small office are those that you can incorporate above your desk – like this file holder.

Mount it to your wall and you’ve got all of your most important files at arm’s length. There’s even a shelf to hold stationery if you don’t have room on your desk!

What other essentials do you wish you could squeeze into your small office space? Feel free to leave a comment – we’ll have a good ‘ol browse and update this list accordingly!

The post Small Office Accessories to Make the Most of Poky Spaces appeared first on Hey, it's Laura!.

As a WFH employee with a bedroom office, I completely understand that you want your work area to complement the rest of your decor, not stand out like a sore thumb. Otherwise, the space can feel messy and disjointed – as if it’s just a temporary setup.

That’s why we’ve whittled down 9 essentials to transform your bedroom into a pretty yet productive space. Grab a cuppa and get inspired!

9 Bedroom Office Essentials 

1. Folding Desk 

The most obvious bedroom office essential is a desk, but not just any desk – one that folds away when not in use. So, nobody would ever suspect that your bedroom doubles as a workspace during the 9-to-5. 

Trust us, this is a lifesaver for small spaces. Speaking of – here are 7 ways to create an attractive home office in a tiny apartment.

But it also helps you nail that work-life balance as there’s zero temptation to reply to emails or chase clients when your desk is out of sight.

2. Dressing / Vanity Table 

This is the most preferable option (if you have space) because there are thousands of dressing tables with plenty of storage for files or books. So, it’s not suuuper obvious you’re using your bedroom as a multifunctional space.

You can often find a dresser that matches the rest of your bedroom furniture, too – a must if you prefer a coordinated aesthetic. 

And even better – this 2-in-1 setup saves a lot of space as you don’t have to make room for both a desk and a vanity.

3. Aesthetic Chair 

We’re all for creating an ergonomic workspace, but it doesn’t always work in a bedroom office, does it?  

Especially when it comes to your desk chair, ugly, all-singing-all-dancing chairs are simply not it (you know, the ones you’d find in a corporate office).

Instead, find a chair that matches your bedroom decor (but don’t neglect comfort and support entirely – we admit, it’s pretty important when WFH).

4. Desktop Storage Drawers

If your workspace doesn’t have built-in drawers or shelves, you need to invest in desktop storage drawers. 

And no, we’re not talking about the clear plastic or metal kind (these definitely do not pass the vibe check). 

There are so many beautifully designed options on the market, offering a clever storage solution without compromising on aesthetics. Because if you haven’t already guessed, maintaining an element of sophistication is the aim when styling a bedroom office!

5. Desktop Organiser

The advantage of working from home? You have all your fave little luxuries right at your fingertips.

A desktop organiser doesn’t have to be filled with pens and pencils, highlighters, files, and all the rest of it (mainly because they’re simply an eyesore). 

Why not create a WFH survival kit by adding snacks, drinks, lip balm – anything you’d typically want close by when working so you never have to leave your desk.

6. Folding Lamp

It goes without saying, you need a little light at your desk to avoid getting eye strain – especially during the winter months.

But don’t think this is a purely functional accessory. You can pick up some incredible statement lamps that not only light up your space in a physical sense, but aesthetically, too.

We’d definitely opt for a folding lamp, allowing you to tap into that industrial, corporate vibe. But make it cute, obvs.

7. Artificial Plants

The #1 goal when styling a bedroom office? Make it look nothing like an office.

We can’t say it any louder – your bedroom should look (and feel) like a bedroom, not a workspace.

Artificial plants are one of the best decor pieces to add to your desk space, adding visual intrigue without the upkeep (if you’re anything like us, real plants are a total no-go).

Apparently they can improve your mood, morale, and focus, too – need we say anymore?

8. Fragrances to Improve Focus

We know all too well that it’s so easy to get distracted when working from home – let alone working from a bedroom office. 

That’s why investing in quality home fragrances could help to keep you on track. Whether it’s a luxe candle or an essential oil, it’s scientifically proven that certain fragrances help you boost productivity.

9. Prints & Photos

Let’s not lie, we all have those days when it feels like you’ve hit a wall. Your motivation has been zapped and you stare at your computer trying to muster up the energy to start your first task.

Actually, this is sounding a little too relatable. 

Maybe you just need a little motivation?

Whether it’s an inspirational quote or shots of your fave people, prints and photos are one of the simplest (and most aesthetic) ways to style a bedroom office.
