Small Home Office Decorating Ideas

Most people do not have the luxury of a full home office and really have a small space in their home dedicated to the essentials. If that is you then this post is for you my friend! There are solutions to the small space dilemma and they are pretty. Yep you heard that right! Pretty AND functional! So here are my top design tips for creating a functional small home office.

1. Use wallpaper to create a focal wall

This will help to define the space being used and draw your eye up rather than looking down at how small the space is.

2. Add floating shelves

I love this one! This not only gives you looks gorgeous but it gives you more storage. Win win!

3. Use a floating shelf as a desk

This is for those spaces you are literally creating out of nothing. Meaning there is no room for a desk, you can’t build anything and essentially think is impossible to create a work space. This is done so seamlessly with a floating shelf and a wall sconce. The gallery wall makes it all disappear. Brilliant in my book!

4. Use a closet

I love this idea especially for kids rooms. Kid’s can be messy and being able to put a desk space in the closet and drape some fabric in front makes it go away when necessary. Not to mention all the storage space you can get!

5. Create hidden storage

I really hate looking at all the necessary cords and machines necessary to run a home office. They are everywhere! I love this idea of putting (as much as you can) behind/inside a cabinet. You can run the power cords right behind the drawers.

6. Use unexpected items for accessory management

Maybe I didn’t say that quite right but I hope you know what I mean. This old frame with chicken wire is a decorative but function piece. Gotta love that! I see using old window frames and backing them with cork or even old metal salvaged pieces and doing the same as a whimsical touch that has purpose.
