Sometimes less is more. The way this minimal desk space is tucked in makes it feel like a place where you could be alone with your journal, work on a chapter of that novel you're writing, or take the time to compose flowery thank-you notes.

6. Plan to keep the desktop clear. Who needs drawers? Check out the system this person has installed to keep items like scissors and pens off the desktop.

Creating a small workstation from a closet is a popular trend in homes where space is tight. Lining the wall behind the desktop and shelving with a feminine wallpaper helps this space-saving solution become an inviting spot to catch up on a little work.

Or perhaps you plan on tucking your desk away into any available nooks and crannies. How do you plan on making the most out of your space?

If your desk is against a wall, try a wall sconce and save desk space. There are so many plug-in options like this one!

This little niche, the most popular home office on Houzz in 2011, gets star treatment from a dramatic, sideswept curtain that picks up the vivid turquoise wallpaper. The functional touches are first-rate: a wall-mounted rack for office supplies, a floor bin that corrals papers and periodicals, a swing-arm lamp that preserves desk space.

1. This year, Houzz users got excited about home offices that made use of an existing space. This adorable and tiny office did a great job of transforming a closet. Just add wallpaper, shelving, a built-in desk — and voila!

Remove the door from an existing small closet and hang a colorful fabric curtain instead. Add a floating desktop and open shelving to reinvent the office concept. For a fun surprise, install complementary printed wallpaper within the closet. Pull up a chair and you're ready to work.See more closet offices

This space has two things going for it. 1. It's in a closet and thus not taking up floor space, and 2. close the curtain and it's gone — no need to look at those unwritten thank-you cards while you're eating. Oh, also, it's cute.

Have an extra closet anywhere? It's been my experience that most people have too much stuff. Think of whether you can clean out a closet somewhere and you might just find yourself a new office nook. It doesn't take much, just a surface area, some shelves and good light. This great little office space is spruced up with color and pattern on the back wall. Notice how the door was removed and replaced with a curtain — great idea!

A trend that goes along with this one is making home offices out of smaller spaces instead of spare rooms. For example, closets transformed into compact home offices are becoming more and more common, often because family members like grown children or aging parents need those spare rooms again as multi-generational homes become more common. In this tiny space, a swing-arm wall lamp can be stretched out to give light where needed, but then put away when the work is done.

This is a charming adaptation of an unused closet, although we have no unneeded closets! In the meantime, this is the future nursery color scheme.
