Do you get tired of your home office decor? I know I do! And there’s actually a reason for that.
When you see the same formal setup over and over again, your brain gets so used to the pattern that you stop feeling inspired by it.
So in case your home office design could use a little pick me up, here are some fun and quirky home office ideas to help get you started.
It’s amazing how much of a difference a playful change can make; it almost feels like a brand new room.
1. Dramatic Hues
If you want to go powerful, imposing, and bold, this one is for you! Using strong colours is a fantastic way to show off a fierce and courageous personality, so why not let it shine in your office design?
This stunning home office is all about those dark, strong colours. With some clever lighting to provide illumination and personalised accents to bring in that unique character, the whole look is just incredible.
2. Cool Coastal
I just love how cool and bright this modern home office is! It’s built on a foundation of white walls, floors, and ceilings.
The cool blue and grey accents are perfect for breaking up the starkness of the white, adding a wonderfully serene seaside ambience.
And those finishing touches, like the faux hide rug, blue rattan chair, and shiplap walls, just tie the whole room together beautifully.
3. DIY Addition
Honestly, personal creations are the ultimate way to make your home office feel truly yours. DIY projects are such a great way to reflect your personality and craftsmanship.
This home office has a DIYed desk, a super quirky inverted bucket light, and a three-tiered recycled iron basket tray. It all comes together to create a charming and cosy space to work in.
4. Do the Dots
You can’t go wrong with dots, they’re so fun, adaptable, and timeless! Adding a wall of cheetah dots to your office is a surefire way to bring in a fun, adventurous, and fierce vibe.
To complement the cheetah wall, try a natural rug like this weaved jute one. A pair of pink chairs totally seals the deal on the fun and fierce elements of this design.
5. Boho Chic
This design is just so bright and sassy, creative and beautiful! This stunning home office features gorgeous desert colours like white, sand, copper, and tawny.
I love how the potted cacti, dried pampas, macrame, and copper tins provide such natural and stunning colouring. And that bright red area rug? It’s the perfect highlight for the room.
6. Statement Art
What a way to highlight your home office! A single piece of art can make such a difference.
A stunning, eye-catching, and spectacular piece will capture everyone’s attention and totally dominate the room with its allure. This tiny home office is made to feel so grand thanks to the striking artwork accent on the wall.
7. Vintage Brick Wall
Exposed brick walls are one of my favourite ways to add a nostalgic and edgy vibe to any room. The warm red tones give the room a wonderful colour variation, while the natural texture brings in a lovely contrast to modern, smooth surfaces.
You can complement the edgy and rustic look with wood flooring, wide windows, and a faux hide rug.
8. Quirky Closet
A closet home office, or ‘cloffice’, is becoming so common now, thanks to digitalisation, micro homes, and the minimalist movement.
You can really make the most of your closet office by giving it the grand makeover it deserves! This one features a fun polka dot wallpapered accent wall, a red bucket chair, and just enough space with its three shelves.
9. Fun Fantol
How much fun is this minimalist and space-saving desk model? The fantol is so fun, trendy, and efficient.
This sleek and modern desk design is ideal for smaller homes or apartments where space is at a premium. Plus, it’s super easy to move from one location to another.
10. Boho Nook
Why not transform a nook into a cosy and charming home office? I love this idea. This particular nook features a wide glass window, built-in benches on all three sides, and two wall bookcases.
The collection of bright and colourful pillows gives the space such a quirky and fun boho look.
11. Whimsical Potpourri
What a lovely mishmash of design genres! The modern white interior of this home office is made so fun and exciting with all the quaint accents.
The striped ceiling and hanging chair give the room a coastal boho vibe, while the vintage chandelier and wallpaper accent bring in a classic regency air. I especially love how the shaggy rug and pouf add just a hint of Moroccan styling.
12. Playful Elements
It’s so important to get playful and have fun with your home office finishes! These ‘broken shelves’ are just so fun, creative, and a great conversation piece.
That surprising element will definitely reflect your personality. It could also be a really fun DIY project to tackle!
13. Dazzling Maximalist
This one is so bold, bright, and dramatic! This unapologetically colourful home office really showcases a fierce, creative, and daring personality.
The glossy retro tile floor, red upholstered chair, zebra-striped bench, and bright accents all come together to create a loud and beautiful maximalist design.
14. Office Shed
An office away from all the hustle and bustle sounds like a dream. You can get that added privacy by building or converting a shed into an office.
Just clean it up, add a desk shelf, rugs, and a couple of chairs, then decorate it however you please.
You get to work from outside the house, enjoy the garden environment, and stay away from the main house traffic. Perfect!
15. Fun with Colours
This fun and colourful home office is absolutely filled with bright pastel colours and quirky décors. The simple desk is paired with a glam office chair, and there’s a comfy pink boat sofa that has a variety of fun throw pillows.
To finish it all off, the colourful shades in different patterns and hues just complete the look perfectly.
16. Charming Attic
How amazing would it be to turn your attic into this beautiful and cosy home office? It’s just filled with charms and character, and the interiors and layout are so well-thought-out.
I love that the built-in desk faces a pair of large skylights to take full advantage of the natural lighting. The sloping, wood-lined ceiling sets up the naturalist theme of the space so well.
17. Wall Murals
Adding meaningful and stunning murals is such a great way to jazz up a more serious home office. This Scandi space has managed to keep its modern minimalist look while still rocking an impressive wall mural.
The best part is that murals are specific and highly customisable, so creating the ideal design you will love is always possible.
18. Timeless Grandeur
This one is just stunning, impressive, and grand! This luxurious home office has dark grey walls, gold accents, and totally timeless furnishings.
The classic light blue Persian rug, golden chandelier, and leather couch all work together to bring a classy and opulent air to the room.
19. Preppy Bright
This design is so proper, elegant, and bright! The sophisticated home office gets a lighter, preppy look from the bright yellow couch, the jute weaved rug, and tons of lighting.
Meanwhile, the stunning drum chandelier, clean white walls, and classic work desk absolutely mean business.
20. Glam Scandi
I love this idea of glamming up a more serious Scandinavian home office to get this fabulous work hub. The white and steel blue patterned wallpaper with a Prussian blue accent wall is just gorgeous.
The glossy white desk with gold frames matches the golden globe chandelier perfectly. And to top it off, a vintage white and blue rug completes the glam look.
21. Fancy Ceilings
Dressing up the ceilings can instantly turn a boring room into something spectacular! This pleasant yet otherwise ordinary home office gets its wow factor from its stunning ceiling.
I love the blue ceiling with the intricate white accent. The white walls, a crystal chandelier, and wood surfaces really complete the elegant design.
22. Shabby Sophistication
This has to be the chicest and most colourful home office, and it’s perfect for someone who goes strong on style and class.
The bright shades of purple, magenta, and lavender complement the more toned-down heather, brass, and wood. It’s such a dazzling take on the charming farmhouse shabby chic style.
23. Floral Walls
You can totally brighten up a room with colours and flowers! A wall of floral delight can instantly perk up a dreary home office.
I love that this office nook keeps things bright and modern with an all-white theme. The magenta chairs are the perfect complement to the colourful wallpaper, bringing in a sprightly, fun vibe.
24. An Artsy Wall
What a great way to showcase your quirky and artsy personality! You can fill a wall with your own works of art or pieces from your favourite artist and genre.
A wall of art will bring so much colour, character, and drama to your home office. It’s a total win.
25. A Green Office
This is such a green, refreshing, and beautiful idea. This home office gets its fun and quirky styling from its huge collection of potted plants.
It’s a well-known fact that indoor plants purify and freshen the air, and their vibrant colouring just adds to the perky vibe of the room. Filling your home office with potted plants is a total win-win!
26. Colourful Farmhouse
This charming farmhouse home office really ups its allure by adding bright colours! The mostly white interior gets these amazing pops of vivid colour.
The back of the wall shelving is painted with a lovely pastel mint green. A pair of yellow chairs and a bright orange sliding door complete this colourful design perfectly.
27. Vintage Glam
This attic home office is such a beautiful mix of modern and vintage. The cool grey walls, wide windows, and featured artwork give the room a sleek, modern look.
At the same time, the scuffed wood floors and vintage furnishings bring in a totally vintage glam vibe. I’m obsessed!
28. Green Glam
What a surprising combination of greens and blue! The interiors are dominated by several shades of green, from the fern green desk and olive rattan chair to the chartreuse-accented curtains.
The white walls make the bright colours pop, while the ashy blue rug softens the glare. It’s a gorgeous balance.
29. Shapes and Patterns
Have fun playing with shapes and patterns when designing your home office! This colourful and playful office uses a lot of colours, shapes, and patterns to create its amazing and quirky design.
The farmhouse trestle table desk with its carved legs is a great touch. And the colourful rug and wall feature complete the fun design perfectly.
30. A Reading Nook
I think every office needs a reading nook! You can take a break from long hours of work by adding a comfortable spot to your home office.
This window seat is so snug and perfect for reading, napping, or just relaxing. You can also use the sides and underneath the daybed for extra storage. It’s a win-win.
31. Love for the Bottle
Why not fill your home office with the things that you love? This imposing and masculine home office definitely shows off its love of the bottle.
It has large, framed bottles on the wall and the real ones on a gold-framed caddy. The look is complemented by a classic leather couch, an elegant rug, and sophisticated carpentry.
32. Shiplap Closet
Here’s a great way to transform a closet into a space-efficient home office. First, you remove the doors and shelves. Then, install an accent shiplap wall along with floating shelves for storage and display.
Add another shelf to serve as the work desk. Finally, you can paint the whole space with your preferred colours. So simple and effective!
33. Bright Bohemian
This design is so bright and pretty, trendy and sprightly! This modern home office has a white interior that’s accentuated with bright and beautiful bohemian accents.
The colourful Persian rug, potted greens, rattan chair, pouf, and Macrame wall décor all add colour and really invigorate the space.
34. Navy Accents
I’m a big fan of jazzing up a stark white home office with a colour accent that complements your style. This airy modern home office is all-white with gorgeous navy-blue accents.
The white and blue patterned wallpaper on the accent wall and matching area rug are just perfect. Office chairs and items in a similar shade really boost the colour and styling.
35. Pegged and Exciting
Adding a pegboard is such a clever way to turn a blank, boring wall into something useful and exciting. This modern minimalist home office gets a fun and unique character from the addition of a pegboard wall panel.
Instead of just a blank wall, it now has an exciting and functional wall for display and storage. So smart!
36. Two-Tone Winner
Are you designing an office for two but can’t agree on a colour scheme? I’ve been there! Take the fun way out of your dilemma with this funky two-tone home office design.
It’s two distinct offices in one room. This way, you both get to enjoy your design preferences and the company you love. It’s a total winner.
37. Box Shelves
You don’t always have to go for the usual and expected. Try jazzing up your home office with a few surprising elements!
This modern home office features concrete walls, steel lighting and accents, and sensible white desk and chairs. But the box shelving is so unusual, eye-catching, and adds a little quirky touch to the very sensible design.
38. Mid-century Minimalism
You can totally perk up your minimalist home office with colours! This quirky home office has managed to keep its minimalist styling despite the colourful upgrade.
The bright mid-century shades on the cabinet doors are all that was needed to perk up this rather serious home office. It’s amazing what a pop of colour can do.
39. Chic Patterns
It really doesn’t need much space for this chic home office to look fabulous! This miniature office has just enough room for a built-in desk and a chair.
An uncovered window lets in so much natural light. I love how the elegant and small bric-a-brac add sophistication, while the chic black and white wallpaper gives the space a really posh air.
40. Blue Elegance
The timeless elegance of blue is really highlighted in this stylish home office. The blue and white theme gives off a hint of a warm Grecian vibe, which I love.
The elegant navy-blue walls are complemented by crisp white curtains, white furnishings, and gold accents. And that stunning white and blue rug just completes the design perfectly.
41. Outdoor Whimsy
Imagine enjoying the warm sun and brightness of the outdoors while you work! This sun-filled office has a glass roof, giving you the impression of being outside.
Just bring in some potted plants, and you’ve got yourself a bright and magical garden office. It’s just dreamy.
42. Elegant and Quirky
When you combine elegant styling with a lot of quirky elements, you get a home office that is so unique, personalised, and beautiful.
This space features timeless elements like neutral walls, clean surfaces, and a heavy wooden desk. Then, the quirky art pieces, copper sconces, and patterned wallpaper accents give the room a really unique and quirky air.
43. Modern Cubicle
How cool is this idea? You can recreate the traditional office booth in your home office with a bright and colourful cube.
This surprising and fun element will not only create clear boundaries for your home office but also brighten up the space and inject a lot of fun into your workspace. I think it’s genius!
44. Personalised Chair
Your office chair is probably the most personal and intimate item in your home office. Lots of people even commission a personalised chair!
You can customise everything from the size and materials to the design. Getting a personalised chair will not only showcase your style and personality but will also guarantee a perfect fit and optimal comfort.
45. Orange Delight
This has to be one of the perkiest and most fun home offices I’ve seen! The bright and charming space features a delightful orange theme.
I absolutely love the orange-accented wallpaper, carrot lamps, seat cushion, and apricot roman shades. The wheat chair and tumbleweed rug do a great job of transitioning from orange to white.
