Any room can become a home office. If more than one person in your household is working from home, chances are you will be craving your private place to concentrate. Having a desk in the hallway, your bedroom or the living room doesn’t look out of place if you select the correct size and style. When you’re not working, you can use the table for other purposes, such as a dressing table or as a console table. I’ve pulled together some inspirational photographs to demonstrate how any room can become a home office.

Any Room Can Become A Home Office Inspiration
Transform your hallway into a home office. These days new built homes and apartments tend to have amply sized entrances. Take advantage of the extra square meters by adding a desk. Select a design that connects to the interior style of your home. The Wayne Desk is made from fir wood with black metal for an industrial appearance. It has three drawers so you can put your paperwork away at the end of the day. If you have a converted warehouse apartment, this desk would be amazing.

A desk in the style of a console table is another option for a hallway office. The black metal two drawers Opal Desk is a great choice. It has a central compartment that opens upwards, making it the perfect place to store a laptop. When you are not using the Opal Desk for work, it will be a handy place to sort out your post and plonk your handbag when you return home.

If you have a modern interior, the Fatima Desk is an attractive solid wood Scandinavian-style solution. The design would look stunning in the hallway, a bedroom or the corner of your living room. The non-fussy construction means that it is a discreet piece of furniture.

Any vacant corner in your home can become a home office if you select the correct size and style. The Sandbanks desk is delightful and perfect for period properties. It’s small in size, so it doesn’t look overbearing. Tape a few inspirational images or pictures on the wall, and you have an instant home office.

If you want to place a desk in your living room, the luxurious Optical Inlay Desk is stunning. It has been made from mango wood in an art deco shape with polished brass drawer handles. The legs are slim and elegant, so it won’t feel out of place in a lounge, although it is a work desk.

Desks that double as a dressing table are perfect for the bedroom. The New Boys Cavil Pink Mango Desk is utterly adorable. The lid flips up, so you have room to stash your laptop out of view when it’s not in use.
