Working from home is the norm for many people now, and it is important to have a space that you feel comfortable and productive in! Even for people who are not working from home full time, it is nice to have a home office where you can occasionally get some work done in your own space. Kids can benefit from offices or work spaces as well because it gives them a dedicated space to do their homework, and it keeps your kitchen table from being covered in math homework and art projects!

Are you creative and thrive in an inspiring space? Do you only work from home occasionally and just need a small space to work? Could your children benefit from having a work space of their own? Do you need to have a lot of natural light when you are working? Does more than one person in your household work from home? Keep reading to explore what type of office space works best in your home for you and your family!

Office spaces don’t have to be cold and uninviting! Designing an inspiring space is necessary to evoke feelings of productivity and creativity. This office design by Emily June Designs is very whimsical and is perfect for someone who needs some extra inspiration! Accessorizing your home office with items that reflect your personality and interests can make the space feel unique to you and your work. This Abigail Borg wallpaper gives you something to look at besides just a blank wall… that gets boring!

One of the most innovative ways to add an office to a small space is to create a “cloffice”! A cloffice is an office space created out of a closet. How fun is that? Designed by Megan McArn, this small office space has a big personality and a great amount of storage. Though this type of space is small, it still has many benefits! Since closets are not usually in high-traffic areas of a house, they are in areas away from noise which creates a great work atmosphere away from distractions. A cloffice may also be a good solution for someone who works from home only on occasion. If you are not working from home everyday, a smaller work space may be more practical for your situation!

Kids deserve a fun work space too! This design by M + M Interior Design is the perfect work space for arts and crafts or school work! Whether your child is attending school virtually, they have a lot of homework, or they love to be creative with crafts, they deserve to have an inspiring space to motivate them. A child’s work space is the perfect opportunity to have fun with the design and create a space for them to explore their talents!

If you like to work with a good view, then position your desk in front of a window! Natural light can be very beneficial in a work space, so why not soak up as much of it as you can? Utilizing the natural daylight in your home office creates less strain on your eyes and can have a positive impact on your mental health and productivity. This home office design by Kitesgrove features the most beautiful green desk and an abundance of natural light!

Since 2020 changed so many things about how we work and how often we work from home, it may become more practical for people to have a home office that comfortably accommodates two people instead of just one. This design by Matt Garcia Design proves that you can make a home office space beautiful and functional for more than one person! Before deciding to share an office though, make sure that both of you work well in the same type of general environment. For example, if one person likes to work in silence and the other likes to listen to music, make sure that you both can compromise before committing to a shared office space!

There are so many options on how to create the perfect “work from home” space! Finding the type of home office that works for you and your family is important, because this is a space that you will be spending a lot of time in. Productivity is important to perform well at your job, but comfortability and functionality is important as well to keep up a healthy routine. A great design has the power to change your life!
