Double-dip office
the areas of work of this double office length are divided by a dip angle, perfect for holding a large stack of papers or some favorite books. In a cheeky touch, the designer of the space added the painted book printed paper on the wall just below the level of the reception.

Minimalist permanent office
looking for an ultra-simple option, compact? Try using a wall shelf like a minimalist permanent office. Combine the "office" with a stool, you can perch on when you need a break from standing, and add a few more shelves if you need space for storage.

painted wood desk
Give an old desk or breakfast table, a new lease of life with a few layers of brilliant color. If you have the luxury of an entire room devoted to a home office, consider using a larger table (even a dining table) in the center of the room as an office - it will help a lot of space to spread out and keep the walls free for storage and seating.

betterment lit desk
adequate lighting is essential for the job, but that does not mean that your only option is a bent-arm work lamp. Walnut paneling that surrounds the wall to the ceiling and recessed lighting give this workspace a warm glow. In an open concept, lighting controlled by a dimmer switch on the desk can help illuminate the area where you need to work and retire from view when you're not working.
