Most of us don't have room for a proper home office, so have to make do with a corner of a bedroom or living room, and those of us that can spare a room, usually get stuck with the box room. So, make the most of your minimal home office space with our clever space savers.
Whole Room Solutions
Need to squeeze your home office into your lounge? Here's how to keep it feeling neat and homely, while providing you with a space to work.
Best For Modern Living Rooms
We love this approach to the home office within a living room - sticking to the same colour theme throughout helps the practical, office part of the room blend in with its surroundings. The desk can double up as a homework table and the good storage ensures the room is kept neat.

Best For Awkward Spaces
If you have to squeeze your home office into an awkward space - whether within an already tight bedroom or under the stairs, like here, the best solution is to build-in the home office furniture. Choose a company that specialises in this type of work and ensure you get the lighting and wiring right so that you can work comfortably from day one.

Best For Subtlety
The key to making your home office 'disappear' within a room is to choose furniture that doesn't necessarily look like office furniture - and to shut as much of it away behind closed doors. We love the way this home office blends into this room.

Best For Bachelor Pads
The minimalist lines and combination of oxidised metal and distressed elm make this Seattle furniture a fabulous options for a male-oriented room - or for a vintage twist in any home. We also rather like the fact that the desk, filing unit and bookcase come ready assembled.

Best For Tight Spaces
If yours is a small home office - or if you're squeezed into part of an open plan room, the trick is to use your vertical space - that means wall to ceiling bookcases. For a contemporary feel, leave them open but keep them neat. For already busy rooms, choose units with sliding doors.
