The sleek Cynthia Rowley for Hooker Furniture Fleur de Glee Writing Desk is all you need for that hallway to become your new workspace.<\/p><\/div>\n

If you\u2019re thinking that you need an extra room in your home so you can set up a home office, think again. Work-friendly spaces can appear from an unused corner, just a few inches off a wall, or even other areas that you thought to be unusable in the past. Explore the possibilities, wonders await you.<\/p>\n

Home Office with a View <\/strong><\/p>\n

Nothing should hamper you from having a home office with ample sunlight. Neither should this natural light keep you from your decorating style.<\/p>\n

Set up a desk and chair right in front of a window then fill that empty corner with a bookshelf. Make sure the furniture harmonizes with the rest of the current pieces. Be sure that your new corner home office seamlessly blends with the entire ensemble.<\/p>\n

Dual Purpose Home Office \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t think that working at an ordinary desk will make you more productive \u2013 the traditional look of a desk won\u2019t have any effect on your productivity. So, why not repurpose an armoire as a home office desk as it still serves its purpose as a storage cabinet for your china, silverware, stemware, etc.<\/p>\n

Home Office Palette Blues<\/p>\n

Remember the key pieces to every home office (chair, desk and shelves). Choosing the right pieces can help you transform a quiet, unused space into something more productive. If the space still permits, keep the zones distinctly different by setting up a work area a few feet away from your bed.<\/p>\n

The trick here is to make sure that the decorative elements such as the furniture, its finish, as well as the color palette all play well as a team.<\/p>\n

The Bold Home Office <\/strong><\/p>\n

Why fear? Go bold and bright on the primary palette that you will use for your workspace. If you want a space for your child right beside yours, then find a color scheme that blends with your fun <\/em>work corner. Add lots of shelves and functional storage units to work both your styles.<\/p>\n

The Confidential Home Office <\/strong><\/p>\n

Have you already considered a corner? Then be able to dress it up. Even formal living room setups can offer a workable home office. Just place a small desk, chair and some accessories (e.g. storage bins and task lamp) and you can already call that spot your tiny workspace. This will become your perfect spot for writing a letter or reading the day\u2019s itinerary.<\/p>\n

The Floral Home Office <\/strong><\/p>\n

There simply isn\u2019t any sense in wasting a usable corner. So, yes, even the hallway can become a spot for your workspace. A not-so-narrow hallway can easily accommodate a slim desk, a stool and small storage bins. To complete the look, install some printed floral wallpaper.<\/p>\n

The Split Home Office <\/strong><\/p>\n

Who says the kitchen can\u2019t have an adjacent home office? You can have your kitchen on one side and your home office on the other. Think of a large china cabinet as a possible divider. Just make sure that you keep the color palette congruent<\/em>. Consistency in your chosen colors sets the harmony in your design.<\/p>\n
