Closet Turned Home Office Inspiration For Home Offices

Shelves

Mount shelves at least 1 foot apart using standards, which can hold up to 70 pounds per foot. Try: Sand and Platinum Elfa Office Shelving in a Closet, $303.37; Container Store.

Storage

Keep stationary and other miscellaneous items stowed in stackable boxes. This is a more attractive solution for desktop clutter and labels will help keep things in order.

Cork Board

If you don’t have folding doors, hang cork board on the back of the doors to collect and display important notes, bills, swatches, and photos.

Dry Erase Board

Hang a dry-erase board for an accessible to-do list at all times.

Desk

Insert a narrow desk with slim drawers for sleek storage that doesn’t carry visual weight.

Lighting

Install a ceiling fixture, prop up a desk lamp or hang string lights.

Seating

If you can fit a slim chair pushed in behind closed doors, or tuck a stool below the desk, supplement seating in this nook. Otherwise, keep a chair close by in the room that can be used as needed.
