Home Office Ideas for the “Space Challenged”

While some companies furloughed their workers during the global pandemic, others sent their employees to work from home. For millions of people, that meant scrambling to create a workable office space in their homes. If your temporary situation has now turned into a more permanent one, you might want to consider these home office ideas. You might be able to use space you never thought possible before.

Home Office Ideas

Closet

Is there a closet in your Tulsa home that simply holds your “overflow”? Box that stuff up and store it in your garage. Then, convert the closet into usable office space. Install shelves up high or on the sides of the closet for office supplies, files, and important paperwork you need on hand. Pegboards help keep office supplies in order.

Guest Room/Office Space Combo

Do you often entertain out-of-town guests? Then you don’t want to completely convert your spare room into a dedicated office. Luckily, you probably don’t need an entire room for office space. A Murphy bed can be tucked away to allow more space when you’re working but brought out when needed. Or you might want to consider something similar to this but in desk form. Wall-mounted desks stay tucked up and out of the way when not in use but open up easily when needed. You can even install a whole organizational unit with bookshelves and cabinets around it so that it blends seamlessly into the room’s decor when not in use.

He-Shed/She-Shed

Nowhere inside of your home to create a private home office space? Why not go outside instead? Several companies offer outdoor home office solutions for your work-at-home needs. They range from super simple to extremely extravagant. Whatever your budget allows. Plus, it creates a pleasant feature when you sell your Tulsa home.
