10 Home Office Styles We Love

The number of people telecommuting in the U.S. has increased 115% between 2005 and 2015. Today, 9 million U.S. employees work from home at least half of the time. If you are one of these people, you can’t underestimate the importance of having a nice-looking office space to get down to work in. You should be setting up shop in an area that is functional, personalized, and makes you feel good every day.

Need a little inspiration for designing your work space? Check out some of our favorites below:

1. Going Green

We love the simple, clean, and alive vibe of a modern desk space with greenery. If you can’t be outdoors, bring the outdoors inside!

Living in a city and/or a small home can make procuring a work space seem impossible. Don’t be discouraged! The smallest of areas can be more functional than you’d imagine, and yield the greatest use.
