Making walls work hard
Blackboard paint is a wonderful thing. We used it in our apartment and not only is it fun, it means you can keep up to date the wall with notes, ideas and lists of things to do!
Blackboard paint would work perfectly in a home office space - especially if, like us, you should note the things in order to retain them. You can take a pot for as little as £ 6-12 £ hardware stores.

Utilis ea corner
We are not all blessed with a spare room that can be transformed into a home office, but that does not mean you should give up the dream of having a dedicated work space - you just need to think laterally around corners in your home. Maybe you have an alcove which is not used, a spot under the stairs, or area in the kitchen that can be converted into a workspace of day?
However small the area, there are many available compact furniture that can fit in many nooks and crannies. Our owner installed shelves and a pull-out desk under the stairs working brilliantly.

Don 't ignore the floor
with a home office, it's really easy to focus only on the desktop and accessories and forget all about the floor. Adding a rug is zoning the area and bring some warmth and comfort to a place that might otherwise feel pretty boring. Here you can see how a colorful carpet added a little fun to the white front desk and a chair, and he will keep the feet nice and comfortable, too.

Making Spaces
give your desktop a little love
painting or decoupaging a work surface completely reinvent the space and can give a new life to an old dull office.
Consider how you will work on your desktop. How many transplants take place there? Next, think about your hardware. If you are likely to never rest on your laptop there, you can choose something soft, like cloth, but for writing or crafts, make sure it is sturdy.

We're big fans of a charity shop find, and this office is the kind of thing that is up to our driveway.
Scour your local charitable neighborhood stores and you can pick up a desk for as little as £ 10 (depending on the condition, size and your trading skills ...). Most of the time these beauties just need a little love, like a coat of paint or varnish.

Peg it up
Pegboards were once confined in garages and sheds, used primarily for storage of tools, but they have been appropriated for the house and are very fashionable right now. They act as fantastic organization tips, and pretty cool, too. A little will come to about £ 30
