Working from home is something many of us aspire to. But it\u2019s not as simple as flopping onto the sofa with your laptop and answering some emails. You need a proper work space. Somewhere that will inspire productivity and motivate you to get stuff done, a place with all the right facilities, and a really comfortable office chair. Wondering how you go about achieving all that? Here are 4 real-life home offices to steal some ideas from.<\/p>\n

1) Out of Africa<\/strong><\/p>\n

New York-based textile designer John Robshaw\u2019s<\/a> love of Africa inspired the aesthetic of his home office. Colourful, cultured and cosy \u2013 it certainly catches my attention. A place that draws the eye and stimulates the senses is ideal for a designer.<\/p>\n

2) An Artist\u2019s Retreat<\/strong><\/p>\n

Artist Joelle Workman\u2019s<\/a> studio is small but full. Items of inspiration clutter the shelves surrounding her desk but it feels intentional rather than untidy. There\u2019s a distinctly bohemian feel that suits Joelle\u2019s art style to a tee. I love the grey metal desk and shelves which are much better suited to printing and painting than wood.<\/p>\n

3) Monochrome Marvel<\/strong><\/p>\n

The home office of blogger and author Niki Brantmark is Scandi simplicity. A monochromatic colour scheme helps this small corner-of-the-room office feel light and airy. A light-handed approach to decoration keeps it clutter and distraction-free. It\u2019s a perfect spot for writing.<\/p>\n

4) A Desk Under the Stairs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Strapped for space? Make use of every corner, nook and cranny with an office under the stairs. As you can see from the image above it\u2019s a perfectly stylish solution to a small space problem, AND it keeps your office out of the bedroom. Win win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
