Do you want to create an office space that fits in with your interior or do you want to dedicate an entire room to working at home? Discover our 10 tips for creating an office corner in your home.

Adapting the size of the office to your needs

Is your desk just for surfing the net and dealing with bills? Then there's no need to invest in a large desk. A desk with a door, a pretty designer table... small desks can find their place in your living room. Choose one with a drawer to store a few documents or install a simple overhanging shelf.

Designing niches and alcoves

They add charm to an interior, but often their potential is untapped. Niches and alcoves can be converted into a cosy office area. Planks or shelves in geometric shapes... once fitted out, niches can be transformed into shelves against which you can place your work table. To separate this corner from the rest of the room, decorate your wall with an original wallpaper.

Hunting for antique furniture

Do you want to decorate your office in a classic or vintage style? Go to the antique shop or garage sale. Whether it's a desk from the 1970s or a beautiful carved table, old desks are very popular and add character to your room.

Working with lighting

Are you setting up your office in an attic room or in a poorly lit hall? Think about the lighting! A wall lamp or a nice desk lamp will be useful if your table is not bathed in daylight.

Installing a glass roof

Do you work from home or spend a lot of time on your computer? The glass roof allows you to be quiet without being completely isolated. In addition, it provides you with a nice amount of light.

Camouflaging your office

Do you use your office exceptionally? Turn a cupboard into a folding workspace. Do it yourself or have it integrated into your custom-made living room furniture, this solution is ideal for small spaces.

Taking advantage of a windowsill

Are you looking for an economical way to create your office space? A simple board hung on the wall under a window will do! Use the windowsill as a shelf and add a nice chair or a swissball. Think of the blind for sunny days.

Installing a landing or a mezzanine

A mezzanine or an unfinished landing can be transformed into a pleasant office. Take advantage of the railing on the mezzanine to lean your desk against it, so you can work while keeping an eye on the family. On a landing, set up a section of wall with a desk and storage space. Remember to install your furniture near an electrical outlet so that you can plug in your computer and your desk lamp.

Take advantage of the space under the stairs

The slope under a staircase is an often neglected space. Use it to create your office. A custom-cut board and some designer shelves will furnish the space. If you want to hide your work area, opt for a stool to slide under the table and install sliding doors or a curtain.

Creating a customised office

Setting up an office under the roof or in a well-defined space sometimes requires a lot of imagination. It is often difficult to find furniture that fits in perfectly. To make the most of your space, choose custom-made furniture! Get out your measuring tape and go to the carpenter's to have your top and boards cut. A solution that offers great customisation possibilities at an affordable price.
