Working from home is still new to a lot of people. And many homeowners have had to get creative when establishing a home office. That often means converting a small space — a spare bedroom, a window nook, a former closet — into a dedicated work area. With the right design approach, these compact spaces can work hard and look great. Now, one thing I’ve learned as a designer is that everyone’s concept of “small space” is different. And it’s worth noting that the photos used in this article don’t necessarily feature small rooms. But they do illustrate details that work especially well in compact areas. Keep in mind that these professionally shot photos depict spaces that haven’t been lived in yet and don’t contain home office equipment like computers and printers. With those things in mind, check out the four features I always return to whenever a homeowner wants to create a small but stylish and functional home office.
