12 Big Ideas for Small Space Home Offices

May 26, 2015

It’s a fact of life that grows truer by the minute: Less is more. And as our eco-minded generation downsizes to tinier spaces, our options for furnishing and decorating our homes shrink right along with our square footage. We’ve figured out how to adapt our lives, our kitchens and even our washing machines into itty bitty living quarters, but for those of us who work from home full-time or are trying to start a side hustle, a functioning workspace is critical (and not always easy to pull off with limited room). Luckily, we’ve got plenty of inspiration to help you to pack a professional punch, even in the smallest of spaces.

1. Minimize + Declutter: When we’re trying to create a healthy, happy office environment in tight quarters, clutter is a nonstarter. Figure out what pieces of decor you can’t live without and get right with the idea of being a minimalist if you can. Once you’ve done that and invested in one great foundation piece — like a slick white desk on hairpin legs, for instance — pulling off a sophisticated vibe like this one is actually a piece of cake. (via French by Design)

2. Craft Storage: If your workspace tends to have more ribbon and washi tape than papers and folders, be sure to store your materials up high to avoid clutter. Using a rod and mounted jars will help you keep all those bits of crafty goodness organized. Bonus points if you tie in this neon color scheme. (via Love Print Studio)

3. Clip-On Desk Organizers: Another clever way to clear out clutter is to whip up a set of organizers that clip to the side of your desk. Like little life rafts for your workspace, these guys can be made with anything from tin cans to loaf tins and flower pans. A little spray paint, some self-stick felt, clip grips and something to attach them with, and tada! You’ve got a perfect solution to hold all your stuff without taking up that precious desk real estate. (via Brit + Co)

4. Fold-Up Table and Frame: If you only need a part-time desk for weekend blogging or occasional use, a fold-up table might be just the ticket. Taking a cue from the old-fashioned murphy beds of yesteryear, this ingenious convertible table folds up into a large frame when not in use. It’s like your own little secret, and who doesn’t love those? (via Ivy Design)

5. Cork Tile Pinboard: If you love the functionality of a corkboard but think the office classic is a little too blah on its own, this DIY is perfect for you. Just pull together some cork tiles, painter’s tape, paint and adhesive strips for an afternoon project that’ll pull all your pinnables together on a sweet, self-made piece of art. (via The Happy Home)

6. Raskog Cart: Okay, so maybe becoming a minimalist overnight is easier said than done. No worries, you can always cheat a little with a highly functional piece like the ever-popular mint-colored kitchen cart ($30) from IKEA. Fill it up in an orderly fashion and find a place for it to live. Before you know it, your workspace will be super organized and ready to roll. Literally. (via Design Sponge)

7. Use Up Every Nook and Corner: Even if you don’t have a separate room to use as an office, all you really have to do is pick a wall or nook to set up shop. This tiny workspace keeps things organized with wall shelves and baskets on the desk. We are loving the blue-green color combo for a relaxing space to get your work D-O-N-E. (via Sarah Richardson Design)

8. Simple Above-Desk Shelving: Perhaps you’ve got a bedroom or living room wall to spare, but it isn’t particularly wide. In this case, it’s time for a tried-and-true small-space maneuver that nails it every time: going vertical. Simple floating shelves in a matching or complementary shade can lift your possessions up and out of your way so you can concentrate on the task at hand without distraction. Add a comfy chair with a pop of color to keep things interesting, and make sure it’s at the right height. (via Weekday Carnival)

9. Closet Office: Got a space so itty bitty that you don’t even have a wall to spare? Never fear, the time for closet conversion is here! Whether you’re crafty enough to build a custom desk inside your coat or kitchen closet, or all you can muster is two filing cabinets and a board across the top, a little ingenuity goes a long way when converting a few square feet of space into an awesome micro-office. Take note from this space and be sure to include lots of storage to keep the clutter at bay. (via The Happy Housie)

10. Chalkboard Closet: Taking the closet-office concept one step further, a can of chalkboard paint can turn an entire interior into a canvas for whimsical decor, inspiring quotes or just important reminders to keep you on track. Mounting shelves to adjoining walls and bringing pen/pencil holders and other knick knacks upward frees up more desk space, giving you room to work on a laptop, sketch out ideas on paper or do whatever else you need to get the job done in style. (via A Cup of Mai)

11. Box Seating: If you’re one of the lucky few who lives in a tiny home but has a proper detached room you can call an office, your options are obviously more vast. But if the space is still on the tight side and you’d like some extra seating options, a box seat can streamline the room in a way that extra chairs can’t. Particularly great for long, narrow spaces, nook seating like this can keep a home office feeling cozy without giving up any of its functionality. Who doesn’t love taking a break from desk life and curling up in the corner with a laptop or book every once in a while? (via Homedit)

12. Chalkboard Wall Decal: For those of us who like writing things out and keeping them simple, a set of oversized chalkboard decals can fill in as a cute alternative to a dry erase board. Peel-and-stick options abound from monthly calendars to daily to-do lists, all of which are no-fuss, no-muss solutions for apartment dwellers small on space and big on grand plans.

7 Brilliant Ideas For Making A Small Kitchen Feel Spacious

Small kitchens are a minimalist's dream design challenge, mostly because they don't require a major overhaul to look functional and stylish. It's all about making sure you use only the essentials, finding multi-purpose appliances, smart storage, and even taking design cues from larger kitchens. Small kitchens, in fact, are on trend in a sort of cottagecore, European aesthetic. Whatever your style though, there are plenty of small changes you can do to make your small kitchen look spacious. Now let's get cooking.

Idea #1: Pretend You Just Moved In

Ksenia Chernaya

Let's start with the idea that you just moved in by doing an inventory of your kitchen haul. Pull out the things that you don't use daily and find another place for them (maybe a closet or garage). Declutter and organize: Keep quality items, reduce plastic as much as you can, and find your inner minimalist by keeping the kitchen clutter-free by only storing essential items. Then decide where you could use organizers, dividers, and bins to keep drawers and cabinets tidy.

Elfa Over-The-Door Rack

Idea #2: Maximize Your Counter Space

Dmitry Zvolskiy

Counter space is essential in a small kitchen, so shed any non-essentials sitting on top of it. Can you move a microwave you barely use to a small island? Your juicer into a cabinet? Choose smaller or multi-functional appliances to save on counter space, and install cutting boards that can slide over the sink or stove. Foldable or extendable counters that can be tucked away and used only when needed are another great idea for small yet functional spaces.

Bushore Kitchen Island

Idea #3: Play With Vertical Space

Taryn Elliott

Think high when designing a small kitchen. Maximize vertical storage if you have tall cabinets. Use hooks or racks for pots, pans, and utensils to free up cabinet space. And add shelves for frequently used items to create an airy feel and make the most of wall space.

PB Manchester Brass Rail With Hooks

Wayfair

Heidegret Floating Shelves, Set of 2

Rejuvenation

Idea #4: Embrace Light Colors + Reflective Surfaces

Beazy

Light colors for walls, cabinets, and counters can make the space feel larger and bring more light in. Reflective surfaces like glossy cabinets, glass tiles, or stainless steel can enhance light too.

Tile Club

Luna White Ceramic Subway Tile

Benjamin Moore

Idea #5: Install Layers Of Lighting

ArtHouse Studio

A small kitchen can really benefit from lighting high and low, especially if you're not graced with a lot of natural light. Look for a fun (but small) pendant, install under-cabinet lighting to brighten up your cooking stations, add wall sconces to add extra charm.

Schoolhouse

Schoolhouse Ray Pendant

Wayfair

Germantown Swing Arm Sconce

Idea #6: Keep Your Design Consistent

Dane Deaner

Beyond decluttering and organize, use a consistent style for containers, cookware and organizers to create a cohesive look and feel.

Williams-Sonoma

Greenpan Reserve Ceramic Nonstick 10-Piece Set

Idea #7: Label Everything

Jason Leung

Label containers and shelves to keep everything organized and easy to find. Use clear containers too so you don't inadvertently double up on items. Now enjoy your clean and happy space!

Justin Bieber's Never Say Never documentary thrilled Justin Bieber fans (called Beliebers) — but even though Hailey was excited to be at the NYC premiere, she told Vogue in 2019 she didn't consider herself a superfan.

"It was never that crazed, screaming thing," she says. "I didn't think about it in any kind of way except for the fact that he was cute. Everybody had a crush on him. But for the first few years we had a weird age gap."

"I don’t want to put anyone in a position where they feel like I’m only theirs, only to be hurt in the end," he continues. "In the past I’ve hurt people and said things that I didn’t mean to make them happy in the moment. So now I’m just more so looking at the future, making sure I’m not damaging them. What if Hailey ends up being the girl I’m gonna marry, right?...I just don’t want to hurt her."Hailey went on to tell E! News that same day they were "not an exclusive couple."

"When things kind of went south for a little bit and we went our separate ways, I just knew that no matter what the outcome was going to be, he was going to be somebody that I loved for the rest of my life."

"Hailey I am soooo in love with everything about you!" Justin says in his official Instagram announcement. "So committed to spending my life getting to know every single part of you loving you patiently and kindLY. I promise to lead our family with honor and integrity letting Jesus through his Holy Spirit guide us in everything we do and every decision we make.

"I remember when I first got married, I hit a little bit of an emotional breakdown because I thought marriage was going to fix all my problems and it didn't," Justin says in an interview with Apple Music 1's Ebro Darden (via Billboard). "You want your wife to do something that you're not doing and it's like, it's hard sometimes to look in the mirror and really have to realize, man, maybe you're not the person that you necessarily thought that you were."

"There's a reason they say 'for better or for worse.' Like, that's for real!" Hailey tells Harper's Bazaar. "I might fly somewhere and go do a job, but I can't wait to come back and hang out.

"I’m fighting to do this the right way, to build a healthy relationship,” Hailey says. “I’m not going to sit here and lie and say it’s all a magical fantasy. It’s always going to be hard. It’s a choice. You don’t feel it every single day...But there’s something beautiful about it anyway — about wanting to fight for something, commit to building with someone."

"We’re committed to growing together and supporting each other in those changes," she continues. "That’s how I look at it. At the end of the day, too, he’s my best friend. I never get sick of him.”

October 22, 2024 — Justin And Hailey Are Closer Than Ever Amid Diddy's Scandal

In spite of the fact Justin and Hailey welcomed their infant son a couple of months ago, the rumor mill is dredging up the singer's past affiliation with fallen mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs. Page Six reshared screenshots from an old video of that two where Diddy's hand could be seen on Justin's chest. One user on X felt Diddy was "checking Justin Bieber to see if he is wearing a wire," however it's hard to tell since we can't really hear their conversation.

Since the video resurfaced, there have been several reports that Justin isn't doing so well because he could be reliving alleged trauma from the time he was close to Diddy. One report by The News even said the singer "looked pensive" in photos snapped of he and Hailey while they headed to Doja Cat's bday bash.

However, it seems Justin and Hailey are doing their best to continue leading normal lives amid Diddy's scandal. The Rhode founder shared a sweet photo of a little plant Justin surprised her with on Instagram stories, according to PEOPLE, and wrote, "@justinbiber bought me a plant for no reason. it’s the little things."

Justin also shared a carousel of pictures on Instagram a couple of days ago that showed him working on music. The last photo features a tender moment that captures he and Hailey leaning in for a kiss, signaling they're a united front in their marriage.
