Closet Office

When you need a dedicated office space and don’t have a den or an extra bedroom available, the conventional option is to set up shop in some other room, such as the living room. But sharing a space has its drawbacks. Busy living spaces aren’t always conducive to work. On the flip side, office equipment and file storage aren’t exactly dazzling décor for living spaces. Office areas that aren’t well defined also tend to collect other kinds of paperwork or, worse, general household clutter.

A good option for your new office space just might be a closet. Tucked away in its own discreet nook, a closet office is nicely contained and clearly separated from other activities. The office itself requires no extra living space—all you need is a little room for a chair when you’re working at the desk. Perhaps best of all, the office and all of its contents are out of sight (and mind) as soon as you close the closet doors. This office design is simple and easy to build yet provides all of the necessary basics for both tasks and storage in a modern work space.
