Nowadays, home offices aren’t just for paying the bills and doing your taxes. They’ve become fully functioning work places, and if you’re lucky enough to work from home, they become, in essence, your second home. And as you may know, sitting in an office all day gets really tiring, really quickly. That’s why a stylish, comfortable workspace is so crucial.

Creating a cool home office space can and should be a reflection of you, because the spaces we occupy shape who we are and how we behave. Physical space matters, and it’s a lot easier to be constructive and happy at work in a home office that is more colourful and creative than in a bland, tedious one.

Here at homify, we're dedicated to helping you find the inspiration you need to create that perfect work space. Here are a few tips on just how to make work fun with a stylish new home office.

Create a cool and funky wall design

Decorating your home office will help to energise your space and help you create an environment that you will want to spend time in. Consider details like colour on the wall. Colourful and intricate wall designs can help to get your creative juices flowing. Whether you decide upon a gallery-style arrangement of several pieces, like we see here, or simply decide on one piece, including art into your office will help keep you motivated and personalize your space.

Add clever storage solutions

Storage is an important element to consider when creating a new style for your home office. Here we see the use of minimalist style shelves over the desk. These floating, open-faced shelves are simple, chic, and allow you to situate your desk anywhere. They also allow for easier organisation – whatever important files you have stored here are easily identifiable, and you have immediate access to them – just reach up and grab it. And, with shelves above your desk, you instantly have extra storage space that doesn't take up any extra room.

Funky furniture pieces

The next step in creating a more fun and energetic work space is incorporating some funky furniture. This desk is both functional and fashionable – you can put anything you can think of in those sleek little shelving underneath the desk. That way, you also don't have to worry about any missing documents!

Fantastic flooring

As with decorating any room, the flooring is an important thing to think about, especially since you have to keep functionality in mind. We recommend hardwoods and area rugs. Hardwood floors bring style to any room, and a fun area rug will silence the sound of your rolling chair, while also adding the perfect touch to accentuate your new office design. 

Personal accessories

Personalize your home office with things that make you happy and feel motivated. Personal accessories bring a touch of you to your office and make your work space more fun to be in. CO:INTERIOR created this office with nature in mind, as we see a beautiful incorporation of flora and fauna. The houseplant, birdcage, and nature-inspired green wallpaper make you forget you're in your home office, relaxing the space around you while you work on your many manuscripts. 

Adding family photos or souvenirs around your office can also help make it feel like a welcoming space.

Fun and trendy lighting

What a design and you cannot get any more eccentric than creating your very of style of lighting for your office space. Lighting is a key factor in designing a stylish home office, and you can get quite creative with it. Of course, you want to make sure your office space has adequate lighting. In this modern home office, we see a fun, decorative string of lights used to illuminate the room while also giving it a funky and unique flair.

Your own personalised bespoke space

You can also use lighting to get much more creative with your office, as we see here. With neon, you can dsign almost anything in writing that you want; from your own personal name to the name of your business. Or, create fun motivational slogans to help inspire you and get you through your work day. The single shelving unit here is just the right amount of space to display your books and also other designer objects.

One of the most important designer elements on this table however is the plant on the very far right. Plants are perfect for recycling stale air and also to remind you not to sit at your office desk all day, but to go outside for breaks and take in the fresh air!
