DIY Home Office: No Space, No Problem

Brought to you by Lowe’s

DIY home office with little space

 

How do you create an office space when you have no space for an office? You have to get creative. I work full-time from home and sitting on the sofa or at the kitchen table is not conducive to productivity. I knew I had to set myself up for success by creating a compact, yet functional workspace, so I moved around some furniture in our living room and cleared a space that is about 44”X 22” (that’s small people) and challenged myself to turn it into an office space.

Guess what? I love it. No, really I do. It took very little effort and now I have an office space that works for me.

Here’s what I used…

Winsome_Wood_Liso_Desk

I got this Windsome Wood Liso ($179)  desk because it works with the furniture in our living room and it’s narrow.

Then I needed a chair, so I got…

Office_Star_Espresso_Dining_Chair

…this Office Star Espresso Chair ($103.28), which tucks in under the desk nicely when not in use.

I also wanted a stylish place to place notes and reminders for myself so I went with…

Cork_board

…this Linen Cork Board ($12.73).

And that my friends is how you make an office space out of just about no space at all.

    I can picture your curly hair and straight back at the work space. You did a good job picking stylish but compact items for your needs. Enjoy work.

    Hey I remember you did some acting. I also remember a car (?) commercial you posted once. So my nephew landed a star role in a movie. I knew him as a baby. Drop over if you have a chance. Maybe you have some advice.

      That’s awesome. Great news for him. Advice, I have none and he probably wouldn’t take it anyway. I’ll be buy shortly.
