How can I hide these wires?????

- How can I creatively "hide" all those wires coming from pumps and tubes that are on the floor leading to an outlet all coming from our huge fish tank?

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

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!

Another idea is to paint the doors with chalk board and magnetic paint. You could also buy black chalkboard contact adhesive paper.

Can my existing double-sliding closet doors be deconstructed, and then reconstructed with hinges like yours? If so, can the same sliding door hardware be used?

Love this idea!

- My dad is going to transform our closet to look like this one. Is there any blueprint he can use?

Thanks I have been trying to work out how to do this in my cottage and couldn't explain it or work out how to hide the area as it will be in the living area. Generally study's are untidy so it can be a challenge.

SHELVING

- I SEE HOW THE SHELVES ARE ATTACHED TO THE WALL BUT HOW ARE THEY SUPPORTED IN THE FRONT SO THEY CAN HOLD ANY WEIGHT?

PRO

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

- How are shelves affixed to wall? I can barely see interval hardware running along the underside. What is that?

PRO

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.

Any of these designs have wood floors? Would a closet desk look good in a room with carpet?

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.

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.

Janell Beals - House of Fifty added this to Chic & Functional Home OfficesSep 27, 2010

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.
