Organising the home office – Set up a dedicated workspace

Category: Office • Organising

Task 1 – Setting up a dedicated workspace

A workspace can be a dedicated room, a corner in the house, a cupboard or a night stand.  Whichever it maybe lets ensure it’s a workspace that suits what you need and that you will get the best out of this space.  

Today I will  share with you some inspiring home workspaces that you can create yourself.

    These are beautiful, when bubba number 2 needed a room, goodbye office/junk room. We now have a section of a cupboard and laptop (on the dining room table) as an office space, it works but it’s tight.

    These are gorgeous inspirational spaces! I can’t wait to have an office of my own but with the renovation chaos at my place it may be a while; I have to put up with my laptop on a flat surface (if I’m lucky!). Great post Katrina :) xx

      I’m sure it will be a stunning room once you have finished renovating!!

      I love the Tiffany blue with white accessories, not sure my hubby would like it though seeing we share the room.

    Our son is still doing his homework in the kids play room and we are now noticing how it is NOT working. I desperately need to swap our rooms around and do a bit of rearranging. Thanks for the brilliant ideas.
