Choose furniture that background in
Hide a home office with the view by choosing style lounge furniture. The desk and chair set-up does not shout office, but it is ideal for a laptop. The chair is a nice little place for your partner, roommate, friend or child to keep you company while you work, too.

Exploit dead space
look around your house and see if there is anywhere you could slot in an office - or even just a shelf. This area by the back door allows the owner to keep an eye on the children playing in the garden and tend to dine while getting a lot of work. Also, check for possible landing spots in which to return desk.

Build in the tissue of a living
Setting up an office on one side of this room immediately turns into a multipurpose space. The half shutters reduce glare for anyone working on the computer, but still let light in the room. The orange accents connect the office chair for carpets and cushions, help the workstation feel part of the room.
This idea could also work with a shelving unit, with sections on a laptop space, file storage, and the rest of shelves full of books, photos and personal treasures .

work in the background
with the armchair and sofa facing away from the office, this workspace falls into the background. Family or roommates can do their own thing while spending time together. The table could also double as a good place for homework on the weekends.

Incorporating a dedicated piece of furniture
is it a buffet or is it a workstation? This smartly designed, custom closet has a desk for laptop and cabinets that happily hide away files and other office accessories. It is fast to access, so that home workers are busy making the most of every available minute, or quietly finger while others are watching TV, and when it's time to relax or to socialize, all this can be hidden from view in a jiffy.

use of existing furniture
If you do not need a formal office set-up, see if you can use one of the seats and surfaces already in your home. This lounge chair could be an ideal place for woking on a laptop with a side table to do the work of a more formal office. And there is little need to reorganize the room once the family or housemates down.

Venture into the bedroom
a master bedroom can be a great place to slot a home office, as is often the largest of rooms, but usually a quiet space. Select a slimline desktop or adapt a shelf on the wall. If you have a bay, this can be a great way to make use of it, with a shelf in the slot without encroaching on the custom part.

Section off with curtains
This beautiful idea could work in an alcove in a room. With a desk and chair to match the rest of the furniture and shelves above, it is the perfect place to complete work. long curtains, carefully tied back during office hours, soften the space and can easily be closed to put the work once the day is done.

Spread everyone in a room
This set-up is perfect for large households with different interests. There is room for everyone to do their own thing without feeling like they are on top of the other: mom, dad or older brothers and sisters can do their homework relatively intact while keeping eye on the little ones.

consider a mezzanine
If you have a mezzanine - or would have a built - which is a great way to work a home office in a busy house. There are so many good things about this study area: you can still hear the rest of the comings and goings in the house, although separated from the main living area, there is an outside view and can be cut as a guest room with the addition of curtain and sofa bed.
