into a workspace with the right planning, and the whole office
can be put away at day’s end by simply closing the closet door.
If you have even less space to work with, try a wall-mounted
desk that can be extended when in use and collapsed flush
with the wall when it’s not. Cubby holes built into the interior
wall area can also provide places for storage in a tight space. A
creative builder can help you make the most of your available
space.
If your work area is not separated from the rest of your
home and building a wall is not an option, there are still
attractive ways to define your space. For example, tall wooden
shutters can be linked together with hinges and painted any
color to create a private area. Though not soundproof, they
can create an intimate atmosphere of privacy when needed
for oneself or seeing clients. Tall silk plants, such as a series of
ficus trees, can also be used to divide the space.
Don’t skimp on your office chair! It’s likely a place where
you will be sitting for several hours every single day. Make
sure it’s comfortable and provides plenty of lumbar support,
in addition to being an attractive addition to your office. Visit

the right chair that will work best for you.
