Throughout the pandemic, the home office has taken on a whole new meaning. Before, it was a luxurious addition to the house but mostly unnecessary for the normal household. Now, it’s an essential part of the modern way of working. Whether you solely work from home or have a couple of days in the office, the home office is a coveted part of the home. Here are some modern home office design ideas to inspire your home upgrade. In this article: Why You Need a Home Office 6 Home Office Ideas for Inspiration Why You Need a Home Office A home office can be a small nook of the living room, a spare bedroom, or at the end of the garden. Many people have adjusted to home working over the last year. The need to create a productive and inviting working space at home is high. With remote work becoming the new normal, you need to be in control of your working environment. If you have children at home, closing your home office door can be of incredible value. Jump on conference calls and Zoom meetings in silence and reduce home background noise. Whether you need to shut out noise or create a productive working environment, you need the right home office design to get it done. For those finding that you’re working more from home than ever before, it can be hard to get your work/life balance right. If you have to transform an area of your bedroom into a study, it can feel like you never leave the same spot of your house. This can pull your work/life balance into question. When you can close a door or step away from your desk into a different living environment, it can be hugely beneficial for your work/life balance and allow you to disconnect after your day. 6 Home Office Ideas for Inspiration The best home office design actually makes you want to sit down and go through your to-do list. A dedicated workspace can help put you in the right mindset to work and set aside household tasks. Here, we’ve put together six home office ideas to inspire your personal workspace. Minimalist and Sleek A minimalist and sleek office space is ideal for open plan living. A study nook can have a spacious feel with lots of free-flowing air. A light oak wood flooring combined with a simple colour palette and clean desk space would look fantastic. Keep it stylish with an ergonomic office chair and stay contemporary. 2. Mid-Century Style Home Office Add a mid-century style office desk and statement art to the walls to switch up your design. Keep the main colour palette simple and add splashes of colour with mid-century art pieces and flamboyant prints to make a statement. Whether you have a separate space for your home office or need to create a study nook in the living room, a mid-century style home office works well. 3. Scandinavian-Inspired Productivity The Scandi-style design works with almost any type of living space. There’s a reason it’s such a popular design option. For a Scandi-style home office, you can create a functional yet inviting workspace. Add soft accents of warm wood, white walls, and bring and bring in plenty of light. With this design, try facing your desk toward a window for maximum light. Install a good blind so that you can block out light when necessary. 4. Navy Blue and Oak A navy home office is simple yet bold. Try adding wall-mounted shelving to organise your workspace. A navy backdrop creates a calming feeling, and the organisation helps to put you into a productive mindset for the day. Navy walls look fantastic with oak flooring and lush greenery to boost your indoor air quality. 5. Sunny Yellow Home Studio Add a splash of yellow to your home studio or office to create a warm and bright space. Try adding a bright yellow office chair or paint the walls yellow. Next, add some light parquet flooring and greenery to the space for a vibrant look. Yellow accents go a long way on white walls in making a warm and engaging home workspace. 6. Smart and Geometric Whether you love a geometric rug or have the perfect print to put on the wall, geometric shapes look smart and sleek. Combine a statement piece of art of furniture with a minimalist colour palette. Try adding furniture with straight lines like a tall bookcase and a streamlined workspace. A dedicated workspace can increase productivity and keep you engaged at the work at hand. By shutting out household noises and keeping away from high traffic family spaces, you can create the home office you always wanted with modern yet simple design ideas.

Bored with the state of your workspace or office desk? Maybe this post will convince you to do something about it. It doesn't matter if you work from home

When working from home, having a separate office space is important in that it helps us mentally and physically divide our work and personal lives to help us create better work-life balance. But creating a home office space is different from a traditional office space because, unless you hire an interior design to do the job for you, it’s something that you must design yourself. There’s no walking into your home office and already having a desk, chair, computer, and everything else already provided for you. That all said, how do you design the proper home office to ensure that not only you love the design itself but also that it can be something you can have the proper focus and productivity in? Scope the below sample office designs to get some ideas to ensure you can create a functional and aesthetic home office:1 - Clean and Retro For those who like very clean, white, and simple spaces, this featured retro-inspired home office design may be what one is looking for. It offers a spacious desktop space, a moderately comfortable chair, plenty of natural lighting, and vintage trinkets from a light bulb fixture with a metal arm extension to fun speakers. Organization in this home office is provided on top and below an elongated monitor shelf along with a nifty organization container with various compartments: keeping things fairly simple and exposed. Accomplish a similar home office space by incorporating plenty of clean white along with a mix of vintage and modern touches. Keep things more on the minimalistic side; don’t let clutter get the best of your design.2 - Duo Workstation If both you and your spouse, for instance, both require an office space, you can combine the two beautifully and more affordably with this duo office design featuring just one, long table and double of everything – computers, pendant lights, and cozy chairs. This space, given its simplicity and heavy use of neutral colors, is mostly gender neutral to ensure it’s relevant for all. While there are spaces for two folks in a single office, productivity can still be gained by working in this design as it’s clean-cut and provides blue walls to provide peace and focus. The addition of the natural light flowing in offers extra energy alongside the warmer-colored lighting provided by the pendant lights. Creating something similar in your space is incredibly easy and straight-forward. Just make sure that when and if you do, make sure that the separate-but-one work areas are combined yet still offer plenty of privacy and the proper comfort zone for each individual working.3 - Peaceful & Urban

Here are 10 ways to fit an L shaped desk into your home office space, whether big or small in a variety of styles to fit different budgets.

It happens at work.. it happens at home, maybe when you're immersing yourself into a creative project, or even just carrying out your daily routines - there's nothing that can make you want to scream and give up more than a cluttered space or surface. Now look, we all understand the importance of separating, prioritising and organising our tasks in order to actually do them, that's just how our brains work. We thrive on creating order out of disorder...but, why are we all-too-often so bad at it? The truth: dealing with clutter seems boring... clutter is just things that we need at some point soon, but not right now. But, clutter and untidiness is severely distracting and actually causes an underlying level of stress in humans, almost like our brains having too many browser tabs open at the same time, and we tend to crash - or shut down altogether! For anyone who's in a work-from-home environment, it can be particularly difficult to separate your home and work life - let alone the clutter that blends in between these two worlds... If you're anything like me, and you just tend to accumulate things - clutter - wherever you happen to exist for more than 5 minutes, then you will be delighted to hear that there is a clever solution to help us keep those crowded surfaces clear and tidy, be it at home, at work, or both! What's the best thing to minimise clutter? The humble drawer, but what if the desk, vanity table or countertop doesn't have enough drawers, or any at all? Now, we've all seen a drawer before, but you almost definitely have not seen ones like these... Very often, organisational products for your desk can be bland and lack the build-quality that you'd expect of something you actually want to use everyday. What's more, is that good storage drawers are usually stuck in one place - which, as we all know, clutter does not like to stay in. Wondrwood's new modular desktop storage drawers aim to solve these two problems. They are built like full-sized dressers, but are miniaturised to 14 Inches / 36cm wide, making them portable and the ideal size to fit on any desk, vanity unit or countertop. There are currently two kinds of hardwood storage drawers available; the first is a 3-drawer unit, made from black walnut (pictured below): Desktop 3-Drawer Chest ...And the second type, (which we are extra-excited about) is an individual drawer unit, that is available in both beech and black walnut (pictured below): Individual Desktop Modular Drawers Aside from the build-quality and materials, what really makes these desktop drawers stand out is that they function as standalone storage drawers; as laptop risers; and they can be combined or stacked together to make a modular, portable, multi-levelled chest of drawers. In fact, both types of desktop drawers released (the 3 drawer chest and the individual modular drawers) can be stacked on top of one-another. Of course, they're not only made for your desk or home-office setup. You can use them anywhere that you need some extra storage, organisation, and elevation (perhaps as a plant stand). Other uses for these drawers include: Laptop stand / riser, plant stand, or lamp stand. Storing jewellery, personal grooming items or makeup. Keeping your keys, wallet and other daily-used items organised and out of sight in the hallway. In the bedroom on your nightstand - for the things you need first and last each day. In the living room - for arts and crafts supplies. On the kitchen countertop - for storing cutlery, food, teas, coffees, spices & more. Their full-sized build quality ensures that they are built to last and work with almost any kind of room decor, adding that little extra bit of character and a lot of extra storage space. ''We wanted this project to be something smart and functional with a little bit of fun mixed-in...Something that will fit-in both a home or work environment, but at the same time stands-out from a design perspective... All the while, almost secretly providing its core function - organising life's clutter.'' These drawers are now available in Wondrwood's home storage collection and can be purchased individually or in multiple sets to suit your particular needs.
