arlen121 I know this is not so chic, but extremely useful, use bread plastic tabs to label cords so you know what goes where!

Rossington Architecture They're just held up on the back and side walls. They're only about 8" deep, so they're pretty stable...

jws91 Budget solution: your carpenter can also join two door slabs with hinges and hang them using hardware for bifold doors. Look for old doors at reclaimed wood warehouses to add more character and recycle building materials. Be green and save some green!

How are shelves affixed to wall? I can barely see interval hardware running along the underside. What is that? »
· Comment · 22 months ago
Rossington Architecture It's a simple 1x1 piece of wood (a "ledger") screwed to the wall and the shelves are in turn attached to the ledgers. Look closely and you can see the screws attaching into the wall.

Is it possible in a smaller space? - I have a similar space in my bedroom which used to be a small closet but now I'd like to convert it to a compact office just like that. Its size is 1.60m wide and 0.65m deep. Is it doable? Thanks so much. Paulo. »

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Margaret Everton to Converting a Closet into Office Space
This larger, long closet creates as much work space as in any study, especially with the addition of shelving and added desk storage. When the doors close on the desktop projects at the end of the day, the books to the left still show.
If you aren't blessed with windows overlooking stunning scenery, create your own scenery with a beautiful painting. I love this idea...a small home office that thinks BIG!
added by Janell Beals - House of Fifty Mag to Chic & Functional Home Offices
Turning closets into office spaces has become a wildly popular trend, and why not. If a home lacks another space to fit in a work area, this could be the solution. And the benefit? When work is done close down shop by closing the doors.
added by Between Naps on the Porch to Long, Cold Winter Days—Bring 'em On!
Have a few home improvement projects calling your name? Have you been wanting to carve out a little extra space for a home office or craft room? Winter is the perfect time to tackle any indoor DIY projects.
added by Between Naps on the Porch to Your Mission, Should You Decide to Accept It...
With just the closure of two bi-fold doors, this home office is fully capable of disappearing without a trace when unexpected company arrives.
4. Measure again – this time for height. This time, determine the height you'll need for your tallest books and binders and add shelves accordingly.
added by Pangaea Interior Design, Portland, OR to 11 Ways to Create a Multipurpose Office Space
This office definitely looks like one, with its rolling ergonomic chair, adjustable desk lamp, and so on. But just as in the previous example, the entire office can be hidden, this time with folding doors. This office is in a closet in a dining room, but it works for any closet, even in a hallway.
