Corner office
Dedicate the corner of your living room or kitchen, with the most light, to work purposes. If you have limited space, fear not, adding a comfy chair and small table to the corner of your room can double up as an office space or even be used for other activities like reading, journaling or simply watching the world go by.
Office nook
Maximise the space in your home by capitalising on unused spaces that might not seem like the first option for a home office. Transform that awkward area into a small working space by adding customised shelves and a fitted desk.
