Whether you work from home, as a freelancer, or simply for your leisure activities, to tidy up and take care of paperwork, it is important to reserve a space dedicated to an office.
Having an office space and accessories encourages concentration and creativity.
Designers and creators offer us an interesting range of workspaces, for all tastes and budgets.
However, we do not use space in the same way if we live in a small apartment or in a larger house.
The ideal is to be able to transform a room into an office, for more comfort and tranquility.
But today it is entirely possible to install an office space in a living room or in a bedroom.
The important thing is to determine a specific place to work rather than doing it on the sofa or on a corner of a table in the kitchen.
We will see how create the perfect office corner.
The office in a room dedicated to work
If you are lucky enough to be able to set up your office in a dedicated room, anything goes when it comes to decoration.
You can arrange your space in the style of your home, or change it completely.
If you live in a classic, Provencal, rustic interior, why not radically change the style of your office and make it a very modern place?
Whatever your choice and tastes, arrange your office in such a way that you enjoy spending time there and staying there!
This will be especially important if you work from home.
The choice of furniture
If you have a room dedicated to your workspace, any style of desk is allowed.
Rustic, industrial, modern, old, vintage, only your imagination will guide you.
If you're on a tight budget, a simple board placed on sawhorses will do the trick.
Accessories
For those who work from home, the choice of seat is essential! Invest in a good office chair rather than in the piece of furniture itself. Remember that you will spend many hours there and your back will thank you.
Storage:
Again, everything will depend on the size of your room.
If it is large, anything goes, from wardrobes to shelves to wooden boxes.
The decor trend At the moment, the focus is on wall organizers, which are decorative elements in themselves.
The advantage of the wall organizer : it allows you to create inspiration boards, put up photos, store your pens, pin up your future appointments… It is an object that allows you to keep the essentials in sight without cluttering up your work table.
A decorative tip that I like and that I plan to install at home, delimit the space by painting a wall of a color different or by dressing it of wallpaper.
Plants
You know I love plants! And they are very important in an office. To bring a touch of greenery, to depollute the room and simply for the pleasure of the eyes.

Think about the decorative plants, the effect is guaranteed!
The office in a living room
Even with a small surface area, it is important to find a place to work. If only to leave your sofa and coffee table the leisure to be only places dedicated to your well-being and relaxation.
If you can't afford to invest in a room in your apartment to set up an office, that's okay.
There are many solutions to allow you to create your workspace.
Compact offices
Console, wall shelf; integrated into a bookcase, the occasional desk knows how to be discreet and blend into the decor.
On the other hand, if you install an office space in a living room, it will have to be in the same style.
And, in this case, you will need to find storage tips to avoid a mess in your living room!
The decoration tip: To delimit your workspace, you can install a nice screen, a curtain. To combine the useful with the pleasant, why not install mini shelves to delimit your space?
You can also create a graphic corner in a corner that demarcates your workspace without distorting the decor of the rest of the room.
You can easily set up a small office area in a hallway.

The storage
No matter what style of office you choose, a dedicated room or a corner in your apartment, it is essential that it is well stored !

Often, the main storage concern is the wires! Between the computer, the hard drive, the sockets for the telephone and for the lamps, everything gets mixed up. And it's not aesthetic.
I found a trick: I put all the wires in a basket. No more visible threads and a bohemian touch guaranteed!
Use and abuse pretty boxes, pots, baskets, removable drawers.
Consider installing a rug, a sheepskin on an armchair, one or two candles. Why not a string of lights in combination with a pretty lamp?
Personalize your workspace to make you feel good there.
