Chic Home Offices: This House 5000

If you only have a wall to spare, take notes from Elena Lohse of This House 5000 and invest in a slim desk and chair set. With a few decorative touches like a wall sconce, candlesticks, and plants, you can create a perfectly respectable home office in just a few days. You can recreate this setup in your living room, bedroom, or basement — wherever you have the space.

Chic Home Offices: Style And Such

Madison Hope’s nook desk is proof that you don’t need a dedicated room or even a full wall to create a functional workspace. The creative behind Style and Such saw an opportunity in an unused corner in the living room of her Vancouver apartment, and simply installed wall-to-wall shelves to house her laptop and decorative knick knacks.

Chic Home Offices: Line Schjelde

Copenhagen-based creative Line Schjelde makes a case for a colorful, personality-packed home office. She went with a floor-to-ceiling gallery wall opposite her laptop plus whimsy accents like a paper lantern, rippled table lamp, and a pastel throw. The resulting look is perfect for homebound creatives looking for a daily dose of inspiration.

Chic Home Offices: Laura Yeh

Laura Yeh’s WFH setup is perfect for city dwellers with extremely limited space. While you may not have an existing shelf built-in to fashion a drop-down desk out of, you can easily create one with a stairway desk or even a compact fold-out table. Keep decorative accents living room-friendly, and simply pull up a dining room chair to kickoff each workday.

Chic Home Offices: Anne Sage

If cool, Scandinavian minimalism is your design style of choice, then you’ll love Anne Sage’s home office. The creative behind City Sage went with an oak built-in desk, bold artwork, and a cane chair to create the ultimate serene workspace. To create the look at home, keep the palette neutral and create eye-catching contrast with artwork and decorative accents.
