Regardless of whether you'll be working on research or using your workspace to finish work at home, you should approach its design with the rules of office design in mind. The ideal workspace is functional and comfortable. In addition to creating a business environment, it must be beautiful, match the capabilities and taste of the owner, and be modern. Let's look at 20 options for organizing a workplace in a modern home style.
Neat, clean, even sterile
Despite the apparent simplicity of the decoration, the interior has pronounced characteristics of the Scandinavian style with a harmonious combination of elements and the use of natural materials. The snow-white color of the walls and furniture, the bright yellow details of the shelves, the ethnic pattern of the facades, the naturalness of the ceiling and floor complement and balance each other. A stylish solution made it possible to abandon the abundance of furniture and accessories, creating a minimalist design that has everything that is necessary for fruitful work.

The gray color of uneven concrete, ceilings, wall-to-wall cabinets, industrial clocks, elements made of chrome pipes, a stainless steel table lamp, a cabinet chest of drawers with small drawers, all these are characteristic features of the popular style. In such an office, work is completed faster, important decisions are made, because nothing distracts attention from the work process.
Nothing personal, just work
This design is usually used in open offices with a large number of workspaces, but it is also suitable for the home - only a working atmosphere, everything around that is most necessary and nothing unnecessary that distracts attention. For fruitful work there is everything you need - an ergonomic chair, a spacious cabinet, modern gadgets and a fairly spacious work desk space.

There is also room for work in the living room.

The coldness of the black and white interior is neutralized by the warm shade of natural wood on the countertop and floor. Neat, clear lines of objects put you in a working mood, and upholstered furniture helps you relax at the right moment in order to find the right solution to a difficult issue.
Large office in the house? Nothing complicated
Those who prefer to have a spacious workspace at home can take as a basis a stylish black and white office with a spacious and decorative bookcase against a striped wall.

The bedroom and the workplace are quite compatible things

Loft style is a good choice for a studio apartment
The huge space with high ceilings is perfect for finishing in the popular loft style. It’s quite easy to create a cozy workplace at home by arranging upholstered furniture on an island, using different materials, color and texture combinations.

Work or study - it should still be convenient
A youth room must have a comfortable workplace. The fresh and cheerful design allows you to combine a large window, a sleeping area, open shelves with drawers and a desk in a single solution. All elements are interconnected by shape, color, and are a continuation of each other. The result is a light, sweet interior that makes efficient use of every centimeter of a small space.

Favorite loft even in a small room
Despite the fact that a loft-style interior requires spacious apartments, its individual elements can also be used in compact spaces. The proposed modern home workspace idea includes an unplastered concrete ceiling, simple shaped furniture, metal industrial handles for attaching shelves, and a chandelier with abstract lines. However, the simplicity and rough details of interior items do not prevent owners from having the necessary level of comfort thanks to a comfortable sofa, expensive appliances, and luxury accessories.

Everything you need is at hand
A no-frills room offers its owner a functional space for productive work. A corner table with a spacious cabinet of an unusual shape forms an ergonomic workplace, and open shelves on the wall and in the closet will accommodate a huge amount of reference and educational literature. The eye-catching Jielde table lamp is an iconic accessory and has remained relevant since its introduction in 1950.
Industrial style office
The cool black and white industrial interior is softened by areas of gray concrete on the walls and floors. The author's frame products with wood texture are made in a harmonious color combination - a desk top, a table with a cabinet, and drawer fronts. The design uses the theme of vintage aviation - in the photo, in the shape of the designer chair, the lines of the table lamp. Chromed metal parts highlight the chosen industrial direction.
Stylish interior is formed by details
A home studio cannot do without professional equipment and a translucent screen that lets in the required amount of light. But the central place in the interior rightfully belongs to the desktop. A little more and it would have seemed bulky, but the designer was able to catch the right edge in the combination of the contrasting smooth surface of the tabletop and rough legs made in the shape of scissors. The warm texture of wooden elements neutralizes the cold of the concrete walls and ceiling.
Simply chic minimalism
A distinctly minimalist design characterizes the home’s workspace, in which the impeccable finishing of a few elements testifies to the taste and wealth of the owner. Noteworthy are the white floor with the texture of high-quality natural wood, as well as another wonderful Jielde designer lamp, now in a floor-standing version. It not only decorates the office, but is always on hand to illuminate any task, be it working on a project until dawn or reading a magazine in the evening.
Small area? We'll still decorate it in style!
Using professional ideas, even a small workplace in the corner of the dining area can be decorated chicly. The document shelf allows you to neatly place all sets of documents for storage, but at the same time it does not take up space, as it is located in a niche. The work corner seems cozy and discreet thanks to the color scheme used - a combination of white with delicate shades of marble and concrete. An original chair made of transparent acrylic performs its functions without cluttering its compact volume.
Revitalizing ideas for a boring office
Even a faceless office space designed for productive work can be easily brought to life. In a strict minimalist office you can also relax and cheer yourself up. There are several useful ideas for this - place a flowerpot with pleasant greenery from a houseplant on the table, and a photograph of a loved one on the wall.
Bedroom and workspace? Quite compatible!
Not everyone has the opportunity to allocate a separate room for work or privacy. If the overloaded living room no longer accommodates a desk, it can be placed in the bedroom. The mirrored front of the cabinet will visually double the length of the room, spacious shelves will be hidden behind sliding doors to match the color of the walls, and the neat surface of the countertop will not take up much space.
Unconventional interior for extraordinary personalities
To meet the needs of creative individuals, non-standard solutions are required. The design idea for a modern studio is based on the unusual arrangement of the desktop. Instead of being placed next to a wall, it is placed in the middle of the room. This allows you to observe your changing surroundings for inspiration, rather than constantly studying the section of wall in front of you.
Black and white interior can be boring
By choosing a black and white design for your workspace, you can make it joyful and energetic. An unusual chair with geometric lines is suitable for this, forming a wonderful tandem with a striped carpet. A bright photo in a large frame and an exclusive wall lamp will pleasantly dilute the austere interior, bring a piece of warmth, and fill you with positive emotions after a long day of work.
A huge part of our life is occupied by work. Therefore, of course, work should bring satisfaction, it should be to your liking.
And this depends not only on whether we like the work we are doing or not, but also on whether our workplace is organized correctly. This is what we'll talk about.
Properly organizing your workplace is important not only for those who work in offices, but also for those who work at home. Working on the sofa will quickly tire your back, and the habit of working in a dressing gown will certainly not contribute to the emergence of fresh, extraordinary ideas and work ethic.
Shelves hanging over the table, all sorts of furniture corners pointing directly at you and the door right behind you - it would be good to get rid of all this by redesigning your workspace. Let's make sure that our working hours are as productive as possible and bring joy and satisfaction.
Workplace
In the house
The Chinese believe that there are no small things in life. According to experts, the location of your desktop matters a lot. It is best to sit so that your table is visible directly from the front door, but located as far away from it as possible.
In other words, try to place your desk so that you can see the front door (but not directly in front of it). If this is not possible, place a mirror in your field of view that would reflect the entrance to the room or office.
You should not place the table on the same line between the door and the window opening - this will, as it were, “blow” all your plans, endeavors, new projects and profits out of the room
Also an important point: there should be no open passages behind your back, otherwise you risk constantly experiencing a feeling of anxiety. In addition, it is better not to sit with your back to the window or door, so as not to provoke an outflow of energy and trouble.
If you are a budding businessman, then ideally your desk should be oriented towards the east.
The north-west is a favorable direction for people with the makings of a leader, the south-east will attract the energies of creativity and creation, and the west will make your position reliable and stable.
However, the southern direction should be avoided by everyone without exception - it introduces disharmony, adds tension and increases stress.
Try to ensure that there are no sharp corners pointing towards you in your workplace.
Make sure that your workspace is not blocked by any large objects, and especially not that you should squeeze your desk into the space between cabinets. There should be no overhanging structures above your head a la the “sword of Damocles” - this is a sure sign of illness or injury. All telephone and computer cables must be carefully hidden behind special panels - Feng Shui explains this by saying that all visible tubes and wires mean an outflow of money.
The light next to the desktop should not be harsh or dim. It's good if the light flux is soft. This can be achieved with the help of general light, as well as a table lamp with an adjustable leg.
In the office
If you work in an office, then you do not always have the opportunity to choose your own workplace. But even in such a situation, you can take steps to rearrange it according to Feng Shui, for example, your desktop.
The table is an important element.
Most of your working time is spent at your desk, so it should be in an optimal position.
Unless you work alone, it is strongly discouraged to place desks face to face with co-workers. This provokes the “division” of territory and frequent conflicts.
If the table is in a straight line between the windows and the entrance, be sure to try to change seats or turn the table itself around. If you are sitting facing a wall, decide how to position it differently, or you will block the path to new ideas, as well as the strength to implement them.
Do not sit close to the window or with your back to it.
The correct location of the window is on the side of the table. Do not position yourself too close to the door or with your back to it. It is better to position yourself diagonally.
Do you want to ensure yourself the support and understanding of your superiors? Position your desk so that you are facing your boss, even if he is sitting across the wall or on a different floor altogether.
If you don’t want to lose your job, don’t sit in front of the opening mirrored or polished surfaces of cabinets and doors.
If your job involves money, you should avoid mirrors behind, in front and on the sides of your desk. If you still sit with your back to the window, and there is no way to change seats, you must definitely cover the window with blinds or curtains.
You can’t sit under the air conditioner - it “blows” thoughts out of your head and dissipates energy, and from a health point of view it’s not healthy.
Stairs near your desk and even within your sight should also be avoided.
If the office door opens onto a long common corridor, do not sit facing it. In general, try to stay away from such corridors. It is important that there is no corridor behind you. This is especially true for managers.
Create a positive attitude.
Place slogans, inspirational items and sayings within sight. For example, by placing a personal photo of yourself speaking at a prestigious conference in front of you, you will activate your luck in your career. Place an image of a rising staircase or road in the northern sector of your workspace - and brilliant career growth is guaranteed.
Unfortunately, some company policies prohibit the use of personal desk items. No problem! You can simply put them in the top drawer of your desk. Every time you take out the things you need for work, you will see photos of loved ones or favorite trinkets.
You can also decorate your desktop background with screensavers of distant landscapes or family photos.
Surround yourself with objects of pleasant colors
What to do if the color scheme of the office does not suit you, and its furnishings do not make you feel comfortable? Use a complementary color in your workspace to counteract the overall tone of the office that doesn't match the style of work being done. For example, if personal work requires energy and the office is decorated in blue, add a few splashes of orange. You can put an orange rug under your arm or hang a picture in orange tones.
According to Feng Shui, there are five fundamental elements: fire, water, wood, metal and earth. Each element has its own color.
✅FIRE - RED. This is the color for dynamic and successful people. However, too much of this element can lead to exhaustion and anger and you will always have a lot to do.
✅WATER - BLACK, DARK BLUE. The more symbols of this element in your work, the calmer, more creative and flexible you are. But be careful: too much water can turn you into a vulnerable and indecisive person.
✅TREE - GREEN AND BLUE. This is the color of unhurriedness, caution, but at the same time, confident steps towards victory. Too much green and blue can make you boring and bilious.
✅METAL - SILVER, GOLD, WHITE AND GRAY. Metal colors attract wealth and success, and in large quantities - greed and despondency.
✅EARTH - BROWN OF ALL SHADES, UP TO PALE BEIGE. This is the color of stability and confidence. However, its excess leads to stubbornness, self-criticism and weakness.
Personality
There are office equipment that you use most often. Basically, spend most of the day at the computer. How dull your workplace would look if it didn’t carry the imprint of individuality! A favorite painting - as a background for the monitor, a desk calendar with joyful emoticons, a bouquet of flowers - all this sends a life-affirming message: “I am,” and, of course, inspires you to work.
Cleanliness in the workplace
For some reason, people quickly get used to chaos. Cleaning begins only when clients or big bosses are about to visit the office. You may not pay any attention to it, but dirt and clutter in the workplace negatively affect your work efficiency and accumulate bad energy. To ensure clarity in your affairs, clean your workplace after a working day and make sure that there is no dust on table surfaces and other places.
Desktop
As already mentioned, the first and most basic rule is that your personal desktop should always be in order. No rubble, no dumps of unnecessary papers, old magazines, newspapers and other rubbish. Cleanliness and order are the cornerstone of success, according to the laws of Feng Shui. This, however, also applies to the office or office as a whole.
Now more about the zones. Here's what the experts advise.
- Career area is right in front of you. It should be empty, providing convenience for working at your desk and symbolizing the endless possibilities for your career growth.
- Creative area is on your right hand. Place a folder there with things that have already been completed. Under no circumstances should you put unfinished projects or letters here that are long overdue for an answer. Give preference to photographs of children and favorite images that symbolize the creative process (for example, lyres)
- Health area is on your left hand. There should be a folder with unfinished tasks or projects that you are currently working on or about to start.
The materials and documents you use most often should be placed within reach—say, from your chair. This way you can save a lot of time, energy and effort without running to cabinets and distant shelves for them. If it is not possible to ensure this condition, then at the beginning of each working day, assessing the upcoming tasks, you should lay out the necessary materials on the table or nearby.
A figurine of a crane, a bamboo shoot or a wooden bowl with nuts will protect you from health problems.
- Middle of the table - this is his spiritual and physical center, the focus of beneficial Qi energy, which must also be free. This can be easily achieved by moving the keyboard away from the monitor or moving the laptop towards you.
An uncluttered center of the table will provide you not only with ease of work, but also with a free flow of beneficial energy.
Keep a crystal crystal next to your keyboard, and the positive charge will not pass you by.
- Behind the Qi zone is located island of glory. Place here a portrait of Bill Gates, Madonna or any other person who personifies success for you. This is how you take your step towards recognition.
- Help area and look for patronage in the lower right corner of the table. He associated with travel and support received from outside.
Decorate it with pictures from travel brochures, postcards or photographs of friends living in other countries, and the possibilities for adventure can be right at your fingertips.
It's good if you have a phone there.
- Field of knowledge is located in the lower left corner of the table. Put something there that symbolizes knowledge - an owl figurine or a reference book, a favorite book.
- Area of relationships, marriage located in the upper right corner of the table. Place fresh flowers there. It’s also a good place to keep photos of your loved ones and happy couples.
It is good to keep a couple of elephants there, facing each other. You can also put your phone and pen holder there. - Wealth area- in the upper left corner of the table. Place a pot with a money tree or a three-legged toad with a coin in its mouth - an amulet that attracts wealth.
Use it to attract love, money, friends - everything you need now. Double your wealth with a mirror that will reflect the contents of the corner.
- In the wealth zone, you can place a living plant or its imitation.
- Earth symbols - pebbles or shells - are placed in the health zone.
- There should be metal objects in the creative area.
"Tabletop" accessories
Try to quickly find the document you need in the pile of papers randomly piled on the table. And at the same time, be so clever as not to get your finger caught in the cup of soot-like slurry that was once coffee, and the bouquet of daisies that Vasya presented from the neighboring department last week. Hop, you didn't succeed!
It’s not for nothing that business etiquette is against...
- ...spread paper debris on the table. Digging through mountains of papers will take up a lot of your time and nerves and, as a result, will make your life simply unbearable. Clean up your desk. Place documents that do not require an urgent decision in places specially designated for them - in folders or drawers of bedside tables;
- ... to grow flower beds on the table, and especially to keep flowers that are not the freshest. There can be one bouquet, and even then a small one, and its place is on the bedside table near the table or on the shelf.
However, plants, both artificial and natural products, can be grown on a windowsill, floor, wall or shelf. As soon as a worker, tired from overwork, fixes his gaze on the velvet greenery, he feels a surge of fresh strength and good mood; - ..."open" a cosmetic store. Powder, lipstick, mascara should be in a cosmetic bag, a cosmetic bag in a purse, a purse in a closet;
- ...keep cups, spoons and plates on the table, otherwise your reputation as a slob will be guaranteed. The best office utensils are “invisible” utensils that hide somewhere in the depths of the nightstand.
Get rid of old unnecessary things
This is simply necessary in order to make the workplace comfortable. And it is important not only from the point of view of aesthetics, but also psychology and health. Throw away any accessories that you never use and have accumulated dust over the years. Transfer folders and documents that have been unclaimed for a long time to the archive. Then you will not only free up space, but also gain the mental clarity and wisdom you need to succeed in your career. In order for something new to appear in life, it needs to make room.
What should be on the table? In the background there is a table lamp, a clock, a monitor (send the system unit under the table!). On the front there is a keyboard, a mouse with a pad, a telephone and office supplies. This organization of space is called “everything at hand” and allows you to receive and process maximum information while making a minimum of body movements.
Finance zone
The south-eastern part of the office is a zone that attracts money. Therefore, this part of the office should not be empty. You can activate it using a home aquarium or a decorative fountain.
The main thing is that these items are life-giving sources of the necessary energy. There may be a fireplace in this place. One of the talismans can stand on the mantelpiece - for example, a toad that sits on money.
The office finance area must be kept clean at all times.
Love zone
The office should also have a love zone. In the lives of many women, personal life and career occupy equal positions. Therefore, when a representative of the fairer sex arranges her office, she should also remember about the love zone. The energy around the desktop should be organized in such a way that it has a positive impact on a woman’s personal life.
The love zone should be located in the northwestern part of the room. In this place there may be joint photographs of spouses or lovers, the main thing is that these photographs are new. This sector can only be decorated with paired items. You can use two bowls - one will contain water and rose petals, and the other will contain stones.
Feng Shui symbols and objects
In the practice of Feng Shui, various talismans are used to attract good luck. Choosing “your” souvenir is a purely personal matter; no clear recommendations can be given as to which particular talisman will be most effective.
In Feng Shui, the figurine of the Indian elephant god Ganesha symbolizes an advisor and ally who helps to successfully run a business and increase income. The best place for Ganesha on the desktop is the area of relationships, the best material is bronze.
Another popular Feng Shui talisman is a three-toed toad with a coin in its mouth, a symbol of monetary well-being. It is better to place it in the upper left corner of the table - in the area of wealth.
Chinese coins, which are also often used as a talisman in Feng Shui, are a universal symbol of the unity of the energies of yin and yang, as well as all the elements. They help to harmonize life in all its manifestations. Most often, coins are combined with a red cord, usually in the amount of three pieces.
The pyramid is used as a powerful talisman not only in Feng Shui. True, only a pyramid whose edges are related according to the “golden ratio” principle can be effective. This figurine is a kind of energy accumulator and can increase performance.
As you can see, Feng Shui is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance. And it’s certainly no more difficult than mastering Chinese literacy. Start by following the simplest and most general recommendations, and you will see how your life will transform.
You don’t have to believe in it to change the interior of your workplace or home. He will act anyway. And then - who knows, maybe you will become another guru in the field of Feng Shui?

Good luck and prosperity to you!
Is it possible to find space for a home office in a small apartment? Where and how to organize it? We have prepared many interesting ideas and useful tips for those who work from home.
For owners of small apartments, the issue of organizing space is always acute. Especially when it comes to a workplace where it’s not easy to allocate an extra piece of space. And sometimes you can’t do without such a zone - some people take work home, and some even work without leaving their apartment. So, where to put the computer, and how to set up an impromptu office?
1. In the corner
Corners are often overlooked, even in small spaces. But they are the ones who can help when you need to find a place for a compact workplace. Here you can put a corner table (fortunately, modern furniture manufacturers offer a variety of options) or use a wooden tabletop instead. This option allows you to equip even the most secluded corner in the apartment as a workplace - behind the door, in the hallway or in the kitchen.
2. Outdoors
Fresh air promotes better brain activity. In the summer, you can work on an open balcony, and a properly equipped loggia will allow you to work productively in the cold season. In many apartments, the balcony serves as a closet; unnecessary things are stored here, thereby cluttering up the usable space.
If it is assumed that the office will be located on the balcony all year round, then it needs to be insulated. It is advisable to lay a soft rug on the floor, and equip the place itself with additional open shelves. Furniture for such a space should be compact and comfortable for a working person. If you don’t need anything else besides a computer, then the workplace can be designed in a minimalist style.
3. On the windowsill
If you can’t use the balcony, you should pay attention to the window sills. First of all, the workplace will always be filled with natural light. If you need to place several workplaces, you can make a kind of extension of the window sill and equip the place with an additional plastic or metal tabletop.In order to make it convenient to work here at night, you need to hang several lamps adjustable in height and position on the wall. This option looks most advantageous in a Scandinavian interior.
4. In the closet
Fans of extraordinary solutions will certainly enjoy a workspace set up right in the closet. So a seemingly bulky piece of furniture that was inherited from your grandmother can be an excellent helper for those who work at home.It is better to re-equip the inside of the cabinet to suit your needs - make convenient organizers, free up space under your feet, make a pull-out shelf for the keyboard. Such a workplace will look relevant in any interior, and an old cabinet will fit especially impressively into a vintage and rustic interior, and will also be appropriate in a space decorated in Provence style.
5. In a niche or pantry
A study can be made even in an awkward niche that seems useless and visually spoils the space. It is best to equip such a place with plasterboard shelves. They are able to visually add depth to the space, and if they are long and occupy most of the wall, they will visually expand the walls.When it comes to saving usable space, you should also pay attention to little-used spaces in the apartment. For example, in some homes where storage systems are properly organized, there is no need for a pantry. It can become an impromptu office. True, here you need to think carefully about the lighting. It is advisable to equip such a workplace with built-in lighting, hang several compact sconces on the wall, and place a lamp with soft directional light on the table.
6. Economy options
If there is very little space in the apartment, there is no way to apply the above ideas, then folding mini-offices can help. They are often compact wall-mounted systems that, if necessary, turn into convenient tables. They do not take up much space and are suitable for those who work on a laptop.It doesn’t matter whether you are an office worker or a freelancer working from home, it is very important that your workplace is organized as efficiently and comfortably as possible, because this is where you spend most of your life. It is believed that a cozy workplace is the key to productivity and good mood. And it’s true: a lot often depends on what color the walls of your office are painted and how the accessories are arranged on the table. ELLE - about how to organize a cozy workplace in the office.
Organizing a workplace is not an easy science, but it is extremely important for creating an optimal working atmosphere. From the right color of the walls to the perfect softness of the chair, from a nice candle in the corner of the table or a photo frame with a favorite pattern to the specific shape of post-it stickers - every detail in the workplace matters. For example, it is believed that light, warm colors are associated with productivity, while bright and colorful colors reduce concentration by almost half. The chair should be soft or with a pillow; armrests are also important, as they allow your arms to rest and relax your back.
Every little detail is important for organizing your workplace, so you also need to approach the choice of accessories for your office desk thoroughly, spending the right amount of time choosing pens and pencils, a paper holder and other accessories.
Order
The basis of organizing a workplace is maintaining order on the table. If the table is not constantly littered with papers, under which pens, a stapler, a mobile phone are lost, and dirty dishes do not accumulate on it for days, many minutes of frustration and stress can be easily avoided. It is believed that those who keep order in their workplace every day have high labor productivity.
Noises
Often, extraneous noise or just general office noise can disrupt concentration and slow down the work process. If complete noise insulation in the office is not possible (for example, in open spaces), you can use several noise-masking elements that shift attention: for example, a lush evergreen plant on the desktop or a cork board with photographs or souvenirs - they can block out extraneous noise at least a little. Another way would be to use a fan with monotonous “white noise”. Many people also find noise-isolating headphones helpful.
Temperature
For concentration and productivity during the working day, it is very important what temperature should be in the workplace. This is why on a hot summer day in an office without air conditioning it is so easy to work in the morning, but the afternoon hours at work seem grueling. In a ventilated and air-conditioned area, you should have a clock with a thermometer at your workplace and try to keep the temperature at 22 degrees Celsius. This temperature is considered the most comfortable mode for productive work.
Greenery
According to Feng Shui, indoor plants are believed to relieve stress and energize, so their presence on the desktop is vital for many. There are many ways to make your desk feel cozy with a potted plant or two. The most unpretentious of them are considered to be croton, dracaena, spathiphyllum and petunia - they are easy to care for, and you can not be afraid to leave them unattended for several days.
Many of us are thinking about how to set up a workplace at home so that we don’t have to painfully wake up in the morning and go to a boring office in crowded transport. After all, you can start your working day in a non-standard way - simply by moving from one room to another.
If your profession involves remote employment, we suggest you urgently organize your desktop with your own hands, because coffee tastes better at home, and your own walls help!
