8 Home Offices in Innovative Places

A walk-in is easy to convert from clothing to computing, but even a hall closet can be turned into an efficient office. Wallpaper or paint can set off the interior from its surroundings, and when the work day’s done, you can simply shut the doors. 

Working in the kitchen doesn’t have to mean working at the kitchen table. A dedicated nook like this one can fit neatly under the cabinets, and no one needs to know there’s a printer, not dishes, in there.

Most people would say their dining room is the least used room in the house — lots of square feet reserved for a once-a-year formal feast. When you’re not hosting a banquet, try converting it into a workspace. (I’ll let you decide if you want to call it a “d’office.”)

Typically a catch-all for cleaning supplies and spare paper towels, this often overlooked spot can be turned into a mini office that can feel spacious, with plenty of room for file storage.
