8 easy workspaces.
i love having a home office. it’s nice to have a spot where i can hang inspirational photos, keep my endless stacks of decor and design magazines, and know that when i’m in this space i’m here to work and get things done! i like all of these spaces because i think they’re fairly simple to DIY and affordable to achieve. ikea desks dressed up with a pretty vintage chair, or a makeshift desk set on two sawhorses — easy and cost efficient. i love the long work table under the windows above because it’s something you could build very easily and because it’s not just a desk for your laptop, it’s an accessible worktable too for spreading out larger projects, or perhaps even a sewing machine. here’s a few more ideas i like.
great closet makeover with built in desk, via alvhem.
amazing CUSTOM MADE copper light fixture, via daniella witte.
the IKEA GÄLLÖ shelf via hus & hem.
great makeshift desk using plywood and sawhorse legs, via daniella witte.
sweet little closet turned office, via trendenser.
IKEA VIKA LILLEBY desk and cork trivets used as mini bulletin boards.
simple white scandinavian desk with a mix of vintage file cabinets, via stadshem.
I like simplicity, so I adore fresh modern and functional white Scandinavian desk (last photo).
I like to have an organized home office . A place for everything and everything in its place!

If you’re up for it, I’d love to see these ideas but with the additional constraints of a monitor and a keyboard tray (or even tougher, a 3rd item: a fax/printer). I feel like with a laptop, anywhere can be a desk, but those two additional items mean much more commitment (and potential ugliness) :) I might have to adapt the ikea armoire / closet idea above…
i could do that! i’ll look around for some inspiration. i have an old farm table as my desk, with a monitor and a wireless keyboard. one thing i did was so drill a hole in the back on my armoire and put my printer/scanner in there. it works wirelessly too, and now you can’t see it! here’s a link to my post:

I’d love a light, white and airy workspace. Sadly as I work in a hospital the opposite is usually the case, my office is like a closet!
I have a give away ending today for some pretty peg magnets which would brighten up an office space though…http://tenantchic.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/first-giveaway.html

Great inspiration for my own home office! I especially love first pic! :)
I love the idea of cork trivets as mini cork boards. Thanks for the inspiration!
I love these and in particular #6. I like that you can close the door and separate it from the rest of your house. It’s all white, quite minimal and very light. I’d be one very happy blogger with an office like this one ;-)
Any idea where we can pick up some super chic office chairs? We’re in LA :)
yes – i’d try modernica.

I love the makeshift desk using plywood and sawhorse legs
That last office is my favorite – the wood vintage file cabinets are made of have a really nice warm tone that livens the room, along with that plant in the window!
I’ll take any of these, please and thank you!
