This Trending Now story features the most-saved home office photos uploaded to Houzz since Jan. 1, 2019.

These days, most people get some work done from home, whether it’s handling business, finances or a big event like a vacation or wedding. And setting up and decorating a space to work efficiently is important. The following countdown of the 10 most popular home offices uploaded to Houzz since the start of the year includes work areas that take up a full room and others that take up just part of one, with each space designed to work well for its occupants.
Lawless Design
10. Boston Beauty

This Boston home office by Lawless Design has personality, thanks to its plants, artwork and color-blocked walls (painted in Snowbound by Sherwin-Williams and Babbling Brook by PPG Paints). The simple floating desk made of acorn wood coupled with a freestanding filing cabinet form a calming, minimalist arrangement. The caddy hanging on the left wall adds convenient storage and helps with organization.

Chango & Co.
9. Fresh and Bright

Painted vertical wall planks create pleasing lines against the horizontal shelving in this wall-width office area in an upstate New York home by architecture and design firm Chango & Co. There’s plenty of room for working, stashing unsightly items and displaying decor. Farmhouse-style lights over the work area are cute and functional.
Timber Trails Development Company
8. Thoughtfully Elegant

Gray painted cabinetry (Graystone by Benjamin Moore) sets a softly elegant backdrop for this Chicago home office by Timber Trails Development Co. Wood, brass and gold accents warm the space, while a large light-colored rug brightens it and adds softness. An elegant pendant with feather-like elements draws the eye up.

7. Neutral Medley


This home office in Austin, Texas, by Five Star Interiors has a neutral palette of beiges, greiges, woods and browns. The blend of textures — see the cabinet top, desk surface and rug — inject visual interest into the palette of closely related colors.
James Frank Construction Inc
6. Open Office

This desk in a midcentury home in northwest Portland, Oregon, remodeled by James Frank Construction is part of a larger kitchen area. In addition to the desk and bookshelf, the office zone includes a cushioned window seat — the perfect place for taking a break from work.
Clarissa at Lee Douglas Interiors
5. Side by Side

This Omaha, Nebraska, home office by Clarissa at Lee Douglas Interiors includes space for two workers, with cabinetry and open shelving to organize work-related items. Black painted brick looks nice behind the cabinets and open shelving, and pulls the room’s palette in line with that in the rest of the home.
Picture Perfect House
4. Sit in Peace

The best thing about this Chicago home office photographed by Picture Perfect House may just be the fact that you don’t see a desk at all. Who wouldn’t like to work from a laptop in a comfy armchair near a window and a beautiful bookcase? The soft-looking rug also creates an inviting feel.
Webber Coleman Woodworks
3. Naval Look

Navy cabinetry by Webber Coleman Woodworks is offset by brass lamps and a rich wood desk; together they all create a nautical, almost military feel in this home office. The homeowner displays a “USNA 99” vanity license plate for graduating from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1999. Two leather chairs and a hammered-copper stool set the space up for visitors.

M. Lahr Homes
2. Stylish Situation

Built-in cabinetry painted an elegant gray (Kendall Charcoal by Benjamin Moore) sets a strong backdrop for this pulled-together space by M. Lahr Homes. The glow of the geometric chandelier softens the feel of the room, while accessories like sunglasses on the bookshelf and a metallic dog sculpture in front of the desk add levity.

1. Low-Key Work Zone

Designer Jess Cooney created this popular built-in nook to serve as the family’s home office and a place for storing records. Architecture and design firm Clark + Green turned Cooney’s ideas into drawings.

This space is inside a former 1700s dairy farmhouse in western Massachusetts overlooking a pond, hills and trees. The homeowners had planned to remodel but lost the house in a fire due to faulty wiring. They rebuilt and included this tucked-away yet spacious area where they can focus.
