Whether you have a whole room, a dedicated corner or just a small desk, creating a home office that is both practical and inspiring can be tricky. Having a clear vision is key to stopping things becoming cluttered or dreary.
In this post I’ve pulled together three simple looks – boho, mid century and glam – any of which will help you to create a work space that is both practical and inspiring.
Depending on the size of your space try to include a work surface, seating, storage, some inspiring words or imagery and a few accessories such as stationery and greenery. See How to create a practical and inspiring home office – part one for more tips on the essentials you need.
