Liven up your home office or help define the space with an accent wall. This can be achieved with either paint or wallpaper and style options are endless. Here contemporary horizontal stripes are shown in two patterns and colors, one in wallpaper and one in paint. The black and white adds bold sophistication, while the taupe helps pull out the gorgeous wood chair and bedding.

Being outside can boost mental health and creativity. Go further than just taking a walk during your lunch break; why not make your home office out there? Consider converting an existing garden shed or building something new, and make sure to let the outside shine in with lots of large windows so you can see the birds and that Colorado blue sky. This decidedly Asian-inspired space uses dark woods and clean lines with floor-to-ceiling glass walls for maximum outdoor inspiration.

 

Hide a desk in plain sight

Many homes do not have enough spare rooms to leave a guest room set up year round for guests who visit only occasionally or an office that is used only a few times a month. When space needs to do double or triple duty, flexible furniture can be the perfect touch. This home office by Beautiful Habitat is made possible by a Murphy bed for guests that folds up to reveal a convertible desk. Facing the window offers excellent views and repeating the drapery pattern in the light shade pulls the room together. The desk also folds up to create room for at home workouts and yoga – this room does triple duty!

Accent colors can set the mood for any space, and the same is true in the home office. Painting one wall a soothing color can calm the space and add personality. Black furniture and accessories throughout the room add a pop of color and sophistication.
