6 POTENTIAL HOME OFFICE SPOTS THAT YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE CONSIDERED

1. The closet

If you’re already living in a small space, a closet may seem like a big sacrifice. However, the nature of a closet as an already-defined space makes it a potentially great choice for a cosy little home office, and you’ve still got the option of using the space above the desk as conventional closet storage.

2. A bookcase

This may seem even more ambitious than a closet, but the built-in bookcases that are common in some homes may offer an obvious space in which to slot a computer and keyboard. There might even be scope to add a slide-out desktop that you can make disappear when you no longer need it.

3. Next to the fireplace

Many homes have an awkward corner near the fireplace, into which you might normally be tempted to place a bookcase or even a chair. But a lot of these options leave a great amount of unused space, so if you can find a desk tiny enough to slot into this particular nook, you may just have found the perfect spot for a home office that is suitably ‘out of the way’ of everyone else.

4. The attic

Attics don’t need to be dismissed as mere storage space, especially if there is a peak roof section where you will have plenty of room for your head if you stand up. This could be the ideal spot for your hideaway computer desk, although it will be a much nicer place to be if there are also windows or a skylight up there to allow in a good amount of natural light.

5. A quirky nook

Period homes, in particular, are often full of difficult little nooks and alcoves that no longer have any obvious use – indeed, you may not even be aware of some of them. So get investigating all of those dusty areas of your abode, and you may find that one of them is ideally sized for a computer desk and chair that don’t obstruct anyone else walking around the property.
