Office by day and dining room by night

Don’t have that extra bedroom to transform into a home office? Don’t fret! I’m currently thinking about scrapping my used-4-times-a-year dining room into an office, that can still be a dining room.

Office space dilemma? Try these tips!

1) Closet – Does it only store items you could easily donate? Annex that puppy and make it the office of your dreams with shelving to the top and a door to hide it all away when done.

Part with excess stuff and make a closet super useful instead!

2) Alcove – Do you have a funky spot in your house you don’t know what to do with? I smell an office niche!

Funky spot? State-of-the-art office!

3) Dining Room – It’s like a guest room that’s only used during holidays. Why not use that ample sq. ft. to its maximum potential? Want a DR to multitask? Get a lovely table you can work on and a credenza that can do double duty by storing dishes AND an all-in-one-printer.

4) Hidden Office/Desk – Hate to see work mix with home life? Get a piece that looks like furniture, but hides everything at the end of the day.

And there it is hidden with the rest of your decor!
