Home offices are becoming increasingly necessary for homeowners. Whether you actually work from home full time, or you need a quiet office space to catch up on some quick to-dos, a dedicated area to get your work done is important. Homeowners and apartment dwellers may feel like there is no space left for a home office, but you can create an office space in the tiniest of places.

Here’s how you can efficiently squeeze your office into some spare space.

Wall Office Space

Your home or apartment may be on the smaller side, but if you have a wall with a few feet of empty space you can get started right away creating your home office. The space can be located anywhere in your home, even in a hallway. Begin by clearing out the space and finding a desk or fold-out table that fits the area perfectly. You want to make sure the size of the desk does not interrupt the flow of traffic in your home. Install shelving on the wall directly above the desk as a storage solution. Building upwards instead of sideways allows you to use the space efficiently.

Closet Work Space

If you have a closet you can spare, it will make an excellent space for a home office. Open the doors of the closet and remove any objects so that you are working with an empty space. Choose a soothing color like beige or peach to create a more refreshing space. Darker colors makes the already small space feel even smaller. Install shelving so that it fits above the desk without interfering with the desk space. Choose wall art that will inspire you while you work. When not in use, you can always close the closet doors for a less cluttered look.

Corner Office

So it’s not quite the cliché corner office people dream of in an executive workspace, but it’s still a great use of space in your home. Choose a corner of your home that’s not being utilized much and clean out any decor in the space. Place a “V” shaped desk in the corner and add shelving on both walls. This is perfect to store home office necessities and files.

Remember to make your home office space unique by adding accents such as plants, artwork and anything else that’ll help you boost creativity. Keep your personal files organized with bins or baskets. If possible, try to choose a small space near a window to bring natural light into your space. Otherwise choose proper lighting such as standing lamps or desk top lamps.
