Sometimes situations arise where we have to truly maximize our available space and create a multi-purpose environment. With more and more people working from home, it\u2019s important to create an environment that\u2019s semi-private and conducive to productivity.  Not everyone has the space, or a spare room, to turn into an office. So, what do we do? There\u2019s been a recent trend online toward the \u201ccloffice<\/a>\u201d \u2013 aka closet-office. If you happen to have a closet that could be repurposed as a small office space, this is a great way to make a personalized, productive workspace. It could also be a great way to create a healthy homework space for kids<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Design your Office<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Creating a \u201ccloffice\u201d is a great DIY project that you can truly make your own and reflect your personality and tastes. Take the time to spruce up the paint inside the closet, or add some nifty wallpaper to set it apart, and make it truly its own \u2018room.\u2019 Adding a pop of color or geometric flair can transform your closet-office into an on-trend and personalized space.<\/p>\n

Install Shelving<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If your closet doesn\u2019t already have built in shelves, you can easily install some shelving to fit your needs. If there are shelves, you can either utilize them, or update them to fit your needs. It can be difficult to find a desk that fits perfectly into a small space and doesn\u2019t look shoved or crammed. The easiest way to create a beautiful and efficient desk, is to use your shelving to create a floating desk. This also can end up being more cost-effective when you use repurposed shelving or buy some inexpensive wood and brackets!<\/p>\n

A floating desk can be customized to fit perfectly in your small space. The depth of the shelves should give you enough workspace, and space for your computer and accessories, as well as the ability to tuck your chair in. This way you have the option to close your closet doors, if you would like to have your office out of sight!<\/p>\n

Adequate Lighting<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Many closets are not built with a pre-installed light fixture. If your closet doesn\u2019t have built in electrical you can still create adequate lighting for the space. One trick is to add a sconce and use hockey puck lights! They look like real light fixtures, but don\u2019t require electricity. You can also use desktop lamps. Natural light can flow in as well when the doors are open.<\/p>\n

Decorate the Space<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Now that you\u2019ve created the workspace you can add your personal d\u00e9cor. If you have some natural light, it\u2019s a great spot for succulents. You can hang inspirational art on the walls, as well as some hanging storage for files. Glass jars and decorative bins can be used for pens, post-it notes, clips and other small office supplies. Decorative small baskets and pottery pieces can be used for d\u00e9cor as well as storage.<\/p>\n

Working from home in your new personalized office space will make it feel like you still have a separation between work and home life. Just shut the doors and business is closed! The best part is that it is great for small spaces and can be a truly beautiful addition to your room.<\/p>\n
