Use... a neglected alcove
Utilise those unused nooks and abandoned spaces to fit in a clever home office with savvy storage solutions
TRANSFORM A BEDROOM ALCOVE INTO A COMPACT HOME OFFICE
If you’re limited on space, using a bedroom alcove as a study area is a great solution. A neat wall-hung desk can easily double up as a dressing table – simply add a mirror and a comfortable chair to match your scheme.
FLOAT A DESK TO TAKE UP MINIMAL FLOOR SPACE Choose a narrow, wall-hung desk that won’t protrude too much into the room and frees up floor space. Keep your home office essentials minimal, so you have less to hide away.
CLAIM BACK UNDER-STAIR SPACE The space under the stairs is often wasted in homes. Instead of allowing it to become a dumping ground for bags and trainers, turn it into a stylish home office. If budget allows, go bespoke as you’ll be able to build in cabinetry to make the most of every available inch.
ADD IN EXTRA STORAGE Build in as much storage as you have room for. Not all of it needs to be for office supplies; you can keep a cupboard for coats, and maybe a pull-out drawer for all the miscellaneous hallway paraphernalia.
