What Houzz contributors are saying:
Katie Treggiden added this to Feel Creative and Productive When Working From Your Home Office
Stay tidyIf you are working in a communal area of your home, a desk with drawers and built-in space for your laptop or iPad keeps things tidy. Storage boxes on the shelves above can be used to hide paperwork at the end of the day, so that any unfinished jobs, scattered over the desk, do not constantly distract when you are trying to relax in the evening.
Joanna Simmons added this to Kids’ Rooms: Create a Desk Space That Makes Homework a Breeze
Pop it in an alcoveMake use of a chimney alcove to create a simple work station. This freestanding desk fits neatly into its fireside nook in a living room, and means adults are nearby for homework help.
Joanna Thornhill Interiors added this to Rented Homes: Quick Tricks for Creating a Craft or Study Space
Exploit an alcoveIf you’re in a period property, an alcove to the side of a chimney breast naturally makes a great spot for a home office, with the recess helping to visually define the space. This smart midcentury design doesn’t detract from the overall look of the living room.

Utilise a nookWe’re not all blessed with a spare room that can be turned into a home office, but that doesn’t mean you have to give up the dream of having a dedicated work space – you just need to think laterally about nooks in your home. Perhaps you have an alcove that isn’t being used, a spot under the stairs, or an area within the kitchen that can be transformed into a daytime work space?However small the area, there’s lots of compact furniture available that can fit into plenty of nooks and crannies. Our landlord installed shelving and a pull-out desk under the stairs that work brilliantly.
Meera Innes added this to 10 Tidy Work Spots for Small Spaces
Use all available spaceThe recessed spaces on either side of a chimney can be the perfect size and shape to situate a mini office – this perfect nook seems tailor-made for a desk. Recesses often need a lift with lighting, so consider mounting a wall light or desk lamp to illuminate your work area without taking up precious desk space.
Karen Wilson added this to 10 Fresh Ideas for Living Room Alcoves in a Period Home
Make a study nookIf space is at a premium and you’re reluctant or unable to give over an entire bedroom to work space, alcoves are often the perfect size for a chic desk. Or instead of trawling the shops with your measurements for the exact size, consider having a bespoke piece of toughened glass or rustic reclaimed wood cut to fit, and use metal poles for legs or sturdy shelf brackets for support. As a backdrop, why not consider practical blackboard paint or an exposed brick wall to highlight the area?
Yasmin Chopin Interior Design added this to 10 Ways to Prepare Your Home For Spring
Simplify your fireplaceWhen you’ve enjoyed the last open fire of winter, call in the chimney sweep, then give the grate a good blacking with a wax-based graphite polish. Now’s the time for a service, too, if it’s needed. Check for any broken tiles or cracks in the fire cement and arrange for repairs as necessary.Decide whether to leave the grate bare or to dress it. To style it beautifully, try piling in some pine cones, group a collection of candles together, hang a string of fairy lights, or find a good-sized vase and fill it with fresh flowers.See how other homeowners and professionals have styled their fireplaces.
Deirdre Smith added this to 8 Ways to Squeeze in a Study Space Ready for Exams
Adopt an alcoveDepending on how you use your living room, it could be a workable place to locate a study nook. Having this study space set up in one corner of a reception room is a good way for kids to still feel part of family life, even while they’re busily buzzing through their books. When setting up a desk and shelving in a shared space such as the living room, it’s best to ensure distractions, such as TVs and games consoles, aren’t in a direct line of sight. These temptations could prove too much for a mind that drifts easily away from schoolwork.Check out 10 stylist’s tricks to steal for the living room

Take a note of the batch number If you’re using a sample to colour-match the rest of your décor, make sure you note down its batch number. ‘Wallpaper cuts printed in different batches can show considerable colour variation,’ explains Yaschuk. ‘Using the batch number as a reference when ordering the wallpaper can save you from unpleasant surprises.’Take a look at 12 contemporary wallpaper ideas to take from Victorian interiors

Lise Daviet added this to Chambres enfants - bureaux
Quand votre ado a la chance d’avoir une cheminée aussi typée dans sa chambre, la mettre en avant est presque un devoir moral ! Ici, ce sont les bandes de gravures anciennes sur chaque flan du foyer qui remplacent le spectacle des flammes. La décoration de la pièce, elle, lui donne du relief avec ce trio de miroirs bombés façon « œil de sorcière » contemporains et une conjugaison de mobilier sur mesure de style scandinave. Un mélange des genres parfait pour la mettre en valeur.
