Now that I’m planning my own home office makeover, I’ve been spending a lot of time searching for some truly brilliant ideas.
From clever closet offices to stunning built-in desks, I’ve collected all the inspiration I’ve found for my project. Some of these I’ll definitely be using, and others were just too good not to share!
1. Modern and Compact
I just love this trendy, minimalist, and space-efficient office design. The warm touches from the wood materials are the perfect way to balance out the cool grey and white on the wall.
It’s such a smart and stylish look.
2. Strategic Lighting
If you want a look that feels more modern and efficient, try ditching the lamps.
Instead, you can install some strategically placed lighting that keeps the space feeling clean and bright. It makes a huge difference!
3. Sloped Ceiling and Skylight
Home offices often end up in smaller rooms and unique spots like attics, basements, or even under the stairs.
I love how this attic office really takes advantage of that sloping roof by adding a perfectly placed skylight for tons of natural light.
4. String board
Are you running out of home office design ideas that will keep all your photos, notes, and everything else visible and handy, but not a total mess?
You have to try this clever string board organizer! It’s a game-changer.
5. A Cork Wall
Adding a cork wall to your workspace is such a great way to control the clutter and keep all your notes right where you can see them.
Plus, that natural cork pattern adds a little touch of fun quirkiness to the whole room.
6. Basket Storage
How charming and pretty are these storage baskets? And they’re totally functional, too! Adding a few baskets to your office can give it a wonderfully laidback country appeal. I’m a big fan.
7. Modern Efficiency
The best home office designs often favor a minimalist efficiency, and this little nook is all business.
I love how the ergonomic layout means the user has minimal movement and easy access to absolutely everything.
8. Stylish Farmhouse
Bright and sunny, rustic and so sprightly. This is definitely one of those home office ideas that is absolutely sure to energize and inspire you every single day.
9. Gold Sophistication
Talk about elegance! Just add a generous dose of gold to a basic white room. The glass-topped desk and fresh roses really amped up the sophistication in this space.
10. The Lair
This design just radiates raw masculinity and power. The interesting, irregular walls and those bubble lights are simply sensational and totally extraordinary. What a statement!
11. Striking Rug
Want to give a rather plain home office some instant color and personality? It’s amazing what a difference an interesting and eye-catching rug can make.
It can completely transform the vibe of the room.
12. Red and Gold Dominance
Now this is a power room. The dark wall is made even more imposing by that stunning red wall feature. A few splashes of gold make the entire room exude opulence.
13. Hidden Office Equipment
Here’s an easy and modern idea to completely transform your dated home office. Find a way to hide the printers, scanners, and all that other bulky office equipment.
The clean look is a total game-changer.
14. A Designer’s Idea Room
I love a designer’s modern office. The eclectic colors, fun shapes, and a cool collection of knick-knacks give this room so much character.
And we are absolutely loving the opulence coming from that incredible statement chandelier.
15. The Gallery
This design is perfect for putting your achievements, memories, and collections on full display. The patterned chair and rug add a brilliant measure of quirky style that I really love.
16. Geometric Wall Pattern
You can add geometric patterns to turn a totally blank wall into a stunning feature for your home office.
For the design, you can use stenciling, wallpaper, a wall decal, or even ceramic tiles.
17. Grey Inspired
This design feels modern, efficient, and seriously funky. Work gets done easily on the spacious desks, and the uncluttered floor means movement is totally unhindered. So smart!
18. Pink Scrapbook Inspired
Finally, scrapbooking has earned a space that’s totally dedicated to the activity!
There are ample storage provisions, a spacious desktop, and quaint wall colors all designed to inspire creativity.
19. Bring in Plants
Keep things lively in the office by bringing in a live plant. Plants are great because they freshen the air, add a pop of color, and bring so much character to the room.
20. Under the Stairs
I always say you should put that under-the-stairs space to great use, and turning it into your home office is such a brilliant idea.
It’s the perfect way to carve out a dedicated spot.
21. Office in a Wall
Think you have no space for a home office? No problem at all. Just clean up a wall, and you can have a complete and fully functional home office without taking up a ton of room.
22. Modern Minimalist
Modern home designs often favor neutral tones, super clean lines, and minimal furnishings.
This very modern office is all about efficiency, a sleek design, and a monochrome color palette.
23. A Window Wall
Now this is a look! It feels modern, open, and incredibly inspiring.
Having a full wall of windows makes the space feel so bright and connected to the outdoors.
24. Space for Two
This compact office setup is fantastic for young students or minimal office users who each want to have their own dedicated space and a little bit of privacy. It’s such a smart use of the room.
25. Chevron Pastels
I love using pastel hues because they keep rooms feeling light and airy.
The chevron patterned wall injects a perfect touch of quaintness and fun into the space. It’s a winning combination.
26. Long and Narrow Room
Grey is always cool, fashionable, and elegant. In this case, it also helps make this long and narrow room appear much larger than it is.
The window-facing desks and wall cabinets help keep everything organized and tidy.
27. Blue and Silver Glam
This silver and blue combination is pure sophistication. The glamorous lampshades, patterned curtain and rug, and those dark cabinets really set the tone for the entire room.
28. Ultra-Modern Glass and Chrome
How cool is this futuristic office design? It manages to be both incredibly functional and absolutely beautiful at the same time.
The glass and chrome give it such a sleek look.
29. Chalkboard Nook
This is such a creative office design for a small space!
The dark walls double as a chalkboard, and using floating shelves keeps the space feeling open and makes it appear more spacious. Genius!
30. Green and White
This color combination is so pleasing to the eye. Setting white shelves, chairs, and desks against a dusky jade wall creates a really cool and refreshing look that I absolutely love.
31. Calendar Wall
What a cool, smart, and fun way to decorate a small home office wall. A giant calendar is both functional and makes a huge visual impact. It’s one of my favorite ideas.
32. Floating Shelves
Discreet floating shelves are a great choice because they tend to blend into the wall and push it back visually. This simple trick creates the illusion of a larger and more spacious room.
33. Recessed Wall Bookcase
To keep your walls looking clear and contemporary, go for recessed bookcases.
The wood flooring, discreet lighting, and a glass-topped desk all add to the stripped-down, modern feel of this home office design.
34. High Fashion Glamour
With elegant furnishings, a stunning chandelier, and accomplishments displayed on the wall, this is a workspace that makes a statement.
You can feel the energy of high fashion drama and glamour in this fashion-magazine-inspired home office.
35. The Executive Room
You can create a seriously impressive workspace with this commanding home office theme. The overall dark tone of the room gives off an undeniable sense of power and might.
36. Pink on Concrete
Here’s a great way to foil the cool and modern grey concrete vibe. Adding a charming pink accent creates a beautiful contrast and adds a touch of softness to the industrial look.
37. Glass Perfection
This creation of white, glass, and pink is contemporary, strong, and wonderfully feminine.
I always suggest finding a stunning centerpiece for your room, like this incredible pink, white, and brown chandelier.
38. The Corner Office
Good news! Everyone can have their own corner office, right at home. Just choose a quiet nook, preferably one with a nice view, and install a desk. It’s that easy.
39. Statement Walls
A statement wall is a great way to keep yourself inspired and motivated. Having an inspirational message painted right onto your wall makes for a powerful and personal design element.
40. Pastels and Stripes
This upbeat and fun home office design hardly looks like an office at all, which I love! It’s the perfect setup for people who can’t stay focused in one spot for too long.
41. Black and White Photo Gallery
A black and white photo gallery is a fantastic way to fill a wall and create a powerful impression. The monochromatic look is both classic and totally striking.
42. Countrified Desk
Using scraped wood for your desk is a simple way to add a charming country flair to your office. It brings in so much warmth and character without a lot of effort.
43. Modern Rustic
I really like this modern, odd design. It’s anchored by a good dose of rustic flavor, which brings a welcome warmth to the otherwise stark modern design. The contrast is perfect.
44. L-Shaped Desk
An L-shaped desk is a great tool for creating separate spaces for more dedicated use. It can also easily accommodate two users while still maintaining a clear distinction of their space.
45. Dazzling Wall Accent
This rather ordinary room design is completely transformed by a dazzling wall accent. It carries a huge amount of wow factor and instantly elevates the entire space.
46. Add a Window Seat
A window seat is the perfect little nook to curl up and relax after long hours behind the desk. If you have the space, you should definitely install one in your office.
47. Matte Black
Talk about dramatic and modern! Using matte black for your home office creates a look that is clean, cool, and truly remarkable. It makes such a bold statement.
48. Modern Artsy
You can easily achieve this look with the cool and charming grey and yellow color combination. Just add a few decorative pieces and finish it off with one dazzling art piece to complete the vibe.
49. Interesting Wall Feature
This room is made so interesting and singular by that stunning wood and light wall feature. It’s a custom touch that makes a huge impact and really defines the space.
50. The Library
It’s interesting how home offices of today are what libraries were just a few years back. This cool amalgamation of the two will definitely delight modernistic book lovers.
51. French Boudoir Inspired
Why not bring some of that old-world elegance into your home office? The stenciled wall, voluptuous curtains, and plush cushioned seats all speak of opulence and class.
52. Colours of Fall
Autumn is easily the most colorful of all the seasons. I love the idea of bringing in various shades of orange and brown to create your own autumn-inspired room that will last the whole year round.
53. Gold and Navy
This is such a smart and stylish look. This home office just exudes style confidence and a whole lot of personality.
The gold and navy combination is absolutely timeless.
54. Dressed up Filing Cabinets
It’s time to eliminate the old industrial metal filing cabinets of yesteryear! Instead, you can add this fun and upgraded version of it to bring some personality and style to your storage.
55. Open Shelving
Open shelving is a great choice because it keeps your office feeling roomy and open. It’s also great as a display frame, and it’s just as good as an organizer.
56. Room with a View
Window-facing desks are always popular among planners, designers, and writers. That instant view offers a welcome respite during intense mind activities and can be so refreshing.
57. A Burst of Colours
This room is definitely not afraid of colors! The dark green walls, along with the dark wood floor and table, effectively set up the bright orange and blue accents.
The end result is an eclectically dynamic room that is full of life!
58. Dainty Details
This is a basic white room that’s elevated with many small, charming patterns and details.
The use of complementing additional color tones is what keeps the room looking so neat and perfectly put-together.
59. Black on White
This look is effortlessly chic and timelessly stylish. All you have to do is paint the room white and then add in some bold black accents.
Voila! Instant sophistication.
60. Glass and White
You can truly never go wrong with white. Create a light, classy, and airy room office by pairing sleek glass with a lot of crisp white. The combination is always a winner.
