Does your home office feel less than inspiring? Has clutter taken over? What do you do, especially if your workspace is on the smaller side?
Take hope! Here are several small home office makeover ideas to get you started!
Grab some paper and prepare your imagination! Read on to learn how to reinvent even the tiniest home office into a haven of productivity!
One of the simplest ways to reinvent your home office is to give it a new coat of paint. Paint the whole space or pick an accent wall. Consider colors that make you happy and inspire you.
Maybe add a new curtain if you have a window to complement your new color scheme. Dress it up with a motivational quote or some relaxing photos. Is your space super small? Paint just a portion of the wall by your desk to bring the focus in on your little area.
Consider using something unconventional like a wardrobe, a space under the stairs, or a small closet to change up your office. Perhaps the makeover is a complete redo and relocation. If you find yourself lacking inspiration, then consider if it’s a simple makeover or rather a total relocation of space that's necessary.
Add some texture and pizzazz with a wallpaper accent wall. This is an easy way to add some life to your home office without a major renovation. Super small space? Highlight the area behind your shelf or desk with your favorite wallpaper.
Try upcycling your organizers. Spray them with a new coat of paint or wrap them in wallpaper for a quick new look. Tired of the upcycle look? Invest in some upgraded organizers to hold pens, sort important documents, etc.
Spruce up your office by rearranging the furniture. This is a fun and easy way to reinvent your space. Disguise your printer by sitting it inside a cabinet or among your books. Be creative and look for a space where your office necessities seem to blend in versus stand out.
Bring on the green! Plants can create an environment that is less stressful. They also help to improve mental health, reduce noise, and increase creativity. Visit a plant nursery and adopt your favorite(s). Decide on a good home in your office and then watch your creativity and mood grow. Again, even a small workspace can accommodate a zen-like bonsai tree.
Pick a spot in your office and create a focal point. Use a corkboard or a magnetic board and create a central place to keep your notes and to-dos. Surround it with photos of friends and family or your favorite pooch.
If you are still housing a clunker printer and/or fax machine (do these even still exist) from 10-15 years ago, consider upgrading to a sleeker, more visually-pleasing printer. There are tons of models that function also as copiers & fax machines.
If your office space is in the living room, hallway, bedroom, or some other space that is shared for other things, aim to blend it into your everyday décor.
When dealing with a small home office, utilize all the space you can! If possible, swap out your bulky desk for a floating shelf. Want even more space? Opt for a fold-down desk that can be put out of the way when not in use.
Make every inch of space count! Consider what things can be used for multiple purposes. The chair for your desk can be turned around and used when you need extra seating. Your beautiful wood cabinet can act as both a statement piece & a multi-functional organizer.
Want to get the most out of your space? Go Vertical! This will save on your desk space and allow you to avoid clutter as well. Ideal Home suggests making sure that you keep your space well defined to keep it from being awkward.
Remember, just because your home office is small doesn't mean all hope is lost. Add in a few key elements such as multi-purpose furniture, and a new coat of paint, and you will be shocked at the transformation. If all else fails, just refer to the handy tips mentioned above.
