Everybody needs to bring work home at one point, regardless of whether it is a stack of documents or a Macbook. You may need a separate area to keep your mail and bills organized if you don’t work in an actual office. Even children need a place to study or do their homework. No matter what your needs are, there will be an office space that you need. It can be a whole room or just a corner. Or a pull-out shelf. These are some modern home office design ideas to help you select and stimulate your office decor.
1. Find a window
The Lucite table placed underneath a window creates an office area in the bedroom. This is where utility meets style.
2. Construct a Nook
Kira Obermeier, designer, created a hidden working space using the built-in as a wall.
3. Layer one pattern over another
White wall paneling with palms, a gray table and leather winged armchairs in matching wallpapers and draperies are the perfect backdrop.
4. Closet Makeover
Brighten the closet with small-scale furniture, bright paint and streamlined lighting.
5. Get warm with the white
A white workstation does not have to be cool. This simple color scheme can be complemented by gold and burnt orange accents.
6. Conceal in Splendor
The fissure-carved veneer doors open to reveal an office with a desk, wooden shelves and other supplies.
7. Pair up your decorations.
The double abstract expressionism draws the eye to the area, which adds a sense of chill to an otherwise monotonous multipurpose workspace.
8. Break the Monochrome
Bright artwork can be hung to add contrast to a color scheme.
9. Patterns
The armchair’s design is enhanced by a brown-and-white cowhide over a seagrass rug, and the knitted window curtains add more complexity.
