On a corner
If you want to feel more creative, go ahead and put your desk in a corner and see how it feels. While some people like to retreat into solitude to work, others like to feel part of the action - angling in the office so that you can see in another room can make you feel less isolated . A simple desktop change could also mean that you stop squinting -. The brilliance of the inevitable screen when your back is to the window can be hard on the eyes

Against the couch
If a console can sit happily against the back of a sofa, there no reason an office can not. When sitting on the couch, you will not even know it's there - a visual cue is not what you need if you try to turn off and leave work behind. Be warned, however :. This set-up may be too much for those who are likely to give in to temptation and watch TV when they are supposed to work

against a side wall
When two people need to work side by side, the positioning of a desk along the wall can do the most sense. It takes up less space than trying to find places to two separate offices elsewhere in the room, and when the wall is as pretty as this one, there is no reason not to enjoy the view.

in the corner
Home offices can be crammed into the smallest corners, and this Parisian corner shows how it can work. Funky old chair and shelves give this area more than enough appeal to draw you in a targeted work or study. And some storage was even worked there as well.

Wherever he can adapt
When squashing your home office in a location next to the kitchen, you may say less about where the office is that if she has a room of his own, but the choice of a long, narrow office will allow you to spread your wings. Sometimes it is the office itself rather than where it is positioned that can make all the difference.
