Stylish Home Workstations
The term "home office" doesn't typically conjure up stylish images. Unfortunately, a home workstation often ends up in the corner of a room, a disorganized array of files, computers and cords.
This is not the only way! With a little foresight and lots of creativity, you can create a stylish workspace almost anywhere in the home. Whether it's a dining room, a hallway, or under the stairs -- you can seamlessly incorporate a mini-office with the rest of your home's decor.

A gallery wall of photos is much more inspiring than a blank wall.

| A dining room can also function well as a work space. The sideboard most likely houses files and office supplies. |

Use a console in the corner of your living room as a desk. Adorable.

Love this! A built-in desk blends in with the blue walls in this guest room/office.

Not sure what to do with the end of a generous hallway? Create a mini-office with a view.

You can't go wrong with white. This space is simple, airy and well-organized.

How much fun is this space? I could definitely work here! Pops of vibrant color mix well with the white walls and floor. All you need is a little paint and lots of imagination to achieve this look.

Teenagers might not do traditional work -- but they need workstations nonetheless!

Most of use aren't blessed with sculptural stairs like these...but if you are, try utilizing that space for a work area.

How much more simple could it get? A cantilevered desk and built-in shelves provide a minimal and functional work space.

Great cost-effective idea: Glass tops rest on metal file cabinets. Simple shelving keeps clutter off the desks.

Celia James Having recently been commissioned to design a home office l have to say that the only photograph displayed here that is realistic is the last one. Home offices have as a minimum a pc tower, monitor, keyboard, printer, scanner, mouse, files, in and out trays, stationery shredder and lots and lots of wires. The days of penning a letter on a jotter placed on a desk with little else except an inkwell are long gone! CJI is currently designing a home desk cabinet which will house all the items in the list above and have doors that close when the equipment is not being used.

Fl!p Breskin I'm with Celia about the amount of junk it takes to have an office you can actually work in, complete with "creative fallout." My mom gave me a great armoire desk that really does the job. Less than 10 seconds from being in the midst of a huge project to "stranger ready" when the doorbell rings. And I do a have an extra cool office chair.

j r celiajames, the times they are a changin'. My work-from-home office is a sofa table w/ speaker phone, laptop, and a wooden box holding wireless mouse, headset, pen and steno pad. For personal tasks, add a rarely used printer tucked away in a closet, a small cache of occassionally used office supplies (they are all paper driven!) and a shredder. Ok, I confess, I have small filing cabinet too, but I bet my niece, a freshman in college, won't! The only thing I miss on my work from home days is my dual monitor setup... but a monitor amidst the pictures over a workstation could fit the bill!
