4. Opt for multifunctionality with a longer worktop and versatile storage
Like the last example, this home office by Homeconcepts and Margot Tsim Interiors is a ‘non-officey’ space. The long worktop could accommodate more than one person when it’s being used as a desk, but it also looks less like a typical office and could easily double as a dressing table or display area.
Completing the multifunctional design are overhead cupboards and two floor-to-ceiling wardrobes where office paraphernalia can be tucked out of sight.

3. Turn to clean lines and a neutral palette for a calm, streamlined office corner
‘Modern minimalism’ was the keyword for this office corner by Simpson & Voyle, which blends seamlessly into the restrained, contemporary design of the home. The corner’s neutral palette helps it recede into the background when not in use. The vase, pen holder and desk lamp – with its gold details – add a touch of luxury and a curated feel.
Overhead, the designers have opted for a mix of open and closed shelving, which underscores the geometry and clean lines of the space.

2. Maximise space with a deep desk and bespoke shelving
The built-in joinery in this home office by Slightly Quirky is not only stylish, it extracts as much functional space as possible out of this side of the room. Note how the unit follows the angles of the sloping ceiling to work in as much shelving space as possible. Additionally, four drawers under the worktop provide added concealed storage.
What really sets this unit apart, however, is its extra-deep desk, making for a spacious worktop that would be comfortable even for someone who works from home every day. Plenty of table-height plug sockets make it easy to charge devices, plug in a screen and add a table light.
All that functionality is combined with a dose of beautiful design, which picks up on the blue finish of many of the other built-in units in the home.

1. Combine beautiful details for timeless charm
A sense of timeless elegance jumps out in Houzz users’ favourite home office photo, from a project by Samantha Danckwerts.
Once again tucked into a living room alcove, the office space design picks up on the decor sensibility of the rest of the room, with beautiful details such as the arch, rattan radiator cover, white painted floorboards, dark wood chair and contrasting mustard yellow Roman blind. All of these carefully curated features come together in a space that feels coherent, warm and lived-in.
Don’t be fooled by the beautiful design, however – this space is also very functional. Notice details such as the wall light and desk-height plug sockets, while the shelves overhead provide storage.

Working an office into a living room niche is a popular approach. Since niches are often already fitted with shelving, all it takes is adding a desk, a comfortable chair and some lighting.
This home office by Kinder Design takes it a step further with a desk that folds away when not in use. This is a perfect solution for those who work from home only occasionally, or in smaller spaces where there’s less room for a desk. It also means the desk is less visually intrusive when not in use, which is a great solution for those who dislike the look of ‘carving’ an office out of a larger room or prefer to avoid work intruding on their domestic space.
Placing the office area in the alcove next to the window means it’s bathed in natural light during the day, while a table lamp provides light in the evening.
