Follow our simple tips to turn any unused space into a stylish and productive home office space.
Before: Bland Office With Potential
This home office has plenty of potential with tons of storage and desk space, but it's cluttered and has no organizational system.
The Right Lighting is Key
Start with lighting. Control the amount of natural light with the right window shades. We recommend LEVOLOR's Motorized Sheer Shadings, so you can control the lighting without getting up from your desk. The sheer shades feature delicate fabrics that diffuse and soften light, adding an elegant touch.
