Create A Nook Office

Would you love to have a room designated for your home office, but don’t have the space? Having an extra room that can be dedicated for a home office in today’s small space living is just not happening. But that does not mean you can’t have a really cool “work space.” You can carve out a spot in almost any room. Here are some “Nook Offices” to explore.

A great place to spotlight a Nook Office is behind your sofa in the living room.



Even while you are working you catch the news or the game's tip-off on the flat screen TV. Streaming from your laptop was never so convenient and when you are finished, the laptop can be stored in the desk drawer to keep the top uncluttered. The desk also works as a sofa table when not in use. What a great place for drinks and hors d’oeuvres.

How about a bedroom nook? Many apartments and homes have small spaces much like this 42” alcove.


This desk’s small width and light scale works great without dominating the opening. The surf blue color scheme gives energy to this nook. Get in the mood for traveling with a contemporary world map wall graphic. Find hanging wall files at Amazon.


This is Command Central in your kitchen. You can easily add to your grocery list,  pay bills online or check on a recipe. This homeowner decided to use part of the pantry for their nook office.
Nook Offices can go almost anywhere. The guest room closet is an ideal space. The ability to close the space off when you are not using it is a bonus. Also your guest will probably enjoy having access to the computer to connect with Netflix and stream to your Smart TV. You can find this DIY Chalkboard Calendar at Overstock.

So every home has a spot waiting to “go to work.” All you need is a space about 40” wide and 24” deep and start multi-tasking. Go look at your home and see where you can nook it.
