Many of us from time to time, and even regularly have to work from home. But, unfortunately, not everyone has a living space that allows them to allocate a separate room for an office or workshop. Today we will talk about how to arrange a comfortable workplace in the living room without compromising its design.
Workplace in the living room - where exactly to place it?
To answer this question, decide what time you usually have to work from home.
Working at home during the day
If you work at home mainly during daylight hours, it is better to place your workplace in an area with good natural light. After all, sunlight improves mood and increases efficiency. A traditional approach with obvious merit is a window seat in the living room. You will not only “catch” the daylight, but you will certainly find a place for shelves with books or documents. The desktop in this case can be made to order so that its countertop and window sill are one. It not only looks harmonious, but also saves space. In a small room, you can do without a table at all; a wide window sill will successfully cope with its role.
You are especially lucky if the living room has a bay window. After all, this multifaceted glazed “lantern” seems to have been created to design a comfortable working area, the main advantage of which is excellent uniform lighting from all sides. A curtain or blinds will protect from direct sunlight.
If there is an insulated balcony or loggia in the apartment, the working area can be equipped there. So you will extract maximum benefit of all its square meters, without taking an inch from the actual living room. Sometimes it is advisable to combine this area with the living room. In some cases, it is enough to simply remove the window block between the room and the balcony, and fix the tabletop on the rest of the wall partition. As a result of these minimal disruptions, you will increase your living space and create a workplace with good natural light.
Working from home in the evening
If you have to work at home mainly in the evening, first of all you need to take into account that the living room is a common room. And, as a rule, it is in the evenings that the whole family gathers here to chat or watch TV. Therefore, the working area in the living room should be located so as not to infringe on anyone's interests: one should be comfortable to relax, and the other to work. How to achieve this?
You might like the idea of a neat console table leaning against the back of the sofa. With this arrangement of furniture, the work area and the seating area in the living room are outlined, but not completely separated. Sitting at a table with work or needlework, you will be close to your loved ones, you can support a general conversation or watch an interesting program out of the corner of your eye.
If classes require concentration and increased attention, it is worth removing the workplace away from the TV. The worker will be less distracted if he sits with his back to the living room. In this case, the table can be installed in the gap between the cabinets or between the cabinet and the wall. Such an impromptu niche will create a sense of isolation from everything around what is happening and help you tune in to the working mood.
Working area in the living room - are partitions needed?
When deciding whether the work area in the living room will be separated by a partition from the rest of the room, take into account the size and shape of the room, the location of the windows, as well as the number of inhabitants of the apartment and your occupation.
The partition is not an end in itself, but a tool that must be used wisely. After all, it can make a small room even cramped, but it can give proportionality and comfort to a long rectangular room.
The photos below show a beautiful living room with a workplace in a small studio apartment. The owners installed a narrow table for two in a shallow, specially created niche, but did not separate the working area from the rest of the room with a partition. See how spacious this small but seamless multifunctional space feels.
And the room in the next photo gives the impression of being too elongated and somewhat dull. Zoning the workplace with a neat partition in this living room would be quite appropriate.
It is not necessary to block the living room if there is only one free artist living in the apartment, because he will not interfere with himself. He can place his workplace absolutely anywhere, even on a console shelf next to the TV. And for a family man it will be extremely inconvenient: try to concentrate when football or melodramatic passions boil over your ear!
If a large family lives in the apartment, a living room with a working area placed outside the partition will be a real salvation for a person engaged in mental work. There are many ways to separate your refuge from the noisy world of the living room: a solid plasterboard “wall” in the spirit of minimalism or a popular design with niche shelves, a bookcase or light translucent plastic, a glass panel with decor or a partition with increased sound insulation made of frosted glass blocks, sliding panels or simply heavy curtains...
The list doesn't end there, the choice is yours.
The main thing is that in this corner you can concentrate without interference, as well as place work supplies, folders with documents, and even allow yourself some creative mess. After all, you have received not just a workplace in the common living room - you have created a piece of your personal space.
Living room with workspace… in the closet
The lucky person, whose main working tool is a laptop, can afford to work without even getting out of bed. For him, the organization of the workplace is more a matter of self-discipline.
It is more difficult for those who deal with a lot of paper documents. And it’s really difficult for needlewomen when they are faced with the need to organize their workplace in a common living room, especially if the room is small. Where, without littering the room, to store kilometers of fabrics and ribbons, kilograms of yarn, mountains of beads, piles of accessories and other treasures? Yes, even so that everything is at hand, otherwise it will take hours to find the right piece or thread.
Let's look at the experience of previous generations. They lived long before the advent of digital media in a very “real” world, and therefore they came up with a secretary. Which do you prefer: a vintage-style desk with a flip top or a modern desk with a pull-out top? Or you can make a spacious wardrobe organizer to order, which will have several folding and retractable work surfaces at once.
In the bowels of this furniture there is a place for a personal office with an extensive paper archive, and for a home workshop with all its tools and supplies. At the right time, the magic closet folds easily and quickly so as not to disturb the order in the living room. You don’t have to worry that needles or important papers left on the table will fall into the hands of a young fidget, because everything is securely closed. Finally, the psychological moment is also important: you opened the closet - and you are at work, closed it - you can relax and unwind.
Look at a selection of our photos and make sure that a living room with a workplace arranged in a closet is beautiful and very comfortable.
Design of a living room with a workplace - briefly about the main thing
Thinking over the design of a living room with a workplace, you can go in two ways: either emphasize the working area, or, conversely, make it as inconspicuous as possible. The main thing is that the result is an interior that is comfortable for you and your loved ones.
The working area in the living room is distinguished by contrasting furniture, decorative partitions, the color and texture of the walls, lighting and multi-level ceilings. You can organize a work area on the podium, using it as a spacious storage system. At the same time, it is important not to forget that the work area and the recreation area are parts of a single space, and there should be no stylistic dissonance between them.
Choosing furniture
Furniture for a living room with a workplace should be not only comfortable, but also harmoniously matched. To simplify the task can purchase a wall with a desktop already provided. Such furniture sets are functional and, as a rule, have a discreet, laconic design. With their help, it is easy to create a holistic interior of a modern living room.
But for a small room, the wall is not the best option, it may simply not fit there. In this case, give Special attention desktop selection. Hardly anyone will like a living room with a massive work desk in an office style. Compact narrow tables are preferred, possibly folding. They save space and lighten the space of the model with two legs that are attached to the wall at the back, as well as tables-shelves and tables-windowsills. They can be equipped with a retractable part, where you can easily hide writing instruments and even a laptop.
Pay attention to the design of this wonderful living room. At first glance, you don’t understand that in the photo there is a living room with a workplace. The hostess simply hid her low glass work table behind the back of the sofa. From the side of the front door, the working area in this bright living room is almost invisible.
Playing with color
For the design of the working area, calm neutral colors are traditionally used: white, light gray, beige. Light light green and shades of blue are also popular. It is believed that they contribute to concentration.
An all-out bright red, deep purple, and other intense colors lead to quick overwork, but they are good as small accents. A chair and a couple of such accessories in the work area will make the design of the room more alive. The main thing is that these color spots resonate in the overall palette of the living room.
AT modern world all more people works without leaving home, for example, on the NeoText copywriting exchange. Many aspiring entrepreneurs arrange a smaller version of the office in their own apartment, which helps to save on renting a room. And those people who work via the Internet do not even need an office. But working from home is not easy. Firstly, the interior of most apartments does not imply a workplace, and it is very difficult to work at the dining table or sitting on the couch. Secondly, at home there are a lot of distractions that prevent you from concentrating on work, and as a result, labor productivity drops.
How to avoid mistakes and correctly arrange the workplace at home? There are several options for the location of the workplace, its layout and organization. Thus, you can create suitable and comfortable working conditions for yourself without disturbing the comfort and atmosphere of your home. Earlier we wrote about, and made special emphasis on. Now let's consider new ideas for organizing a workplace at home.
Workplace at home in a separate room
This option is, of course, the best. If your apartment has a separate room that can be allocated as an office, then you are very lucky. For rooms with a free layout, another option is suitable - isolate your work area with a wall or shelving, highlight this place with color. You can use screens or curtains to create a comfortable working environment.
It is best if your office has a door that will not only protect you from the temptations of home comfort and regular trips to the refrigerator or sofa, but also protect you from extraneous sounds that often distract from work processes.
The cabinet should be equipped with everything you need so that you do not have to go to other rooms and look for the right items. This way you can save time and get the job done quickly and efficiently.
Workplace at home on the balcony
If you do not have a very large apartment, but there is, then you can organize a workplace there. To begin with, you will need to get rid of all the things stored there (usually the balcony functions as a pantry) and carefully insulate the balcony. Choose materials that don't take up a lot of space to save valuable square footage.
It is best to bring a battery to the balcony or make a warm floor. But you can also use mobile heaters powered by electricity.
Pay special attention to wiring, lighting and the required number of outlets. To create a workplace at home on the balcony, you will need a small table that you can fit along a small wall. We also advise you to purchase a small closet or several spacious shelves where you can store important documents, reports or necessary manuals.
Workplace at home in the pantry
No balcony? No problem. Many apartments have small closets that different owners use in different ways. If you have a small dressing room or storage of blanks in your pantry, then you won’t be able to use it as a workplace either. But in most cases, the pantry is a room with very strange functionality. Usually it stores things that people do not use. You can continue to store junk that no one needs, or you can clear the pantry from it and use it. Creating a mini-study in this room is not easy, but it is quite possible. Try to use the entire height of the pantry as much as possible to unload your work surface. Do you often use the printer? Do not put it on the table, but lift it on the shelf. This way you save space, but also leave the printer within reach.
A great option for using storage space is hanging fixtures, on which you can arrange the things you need.
Try to use light colors in the decoration of the workspace at home in the pantry, as they visually expand and enlarge the space. Avoid bright colors, patterns, and a large number different materials.
Particular attention should be paid when designing such a workplace. There is no window in the pantry, so there will be no natural light either. Try to place the lamp above the work area, and not on the ceiling. In order not to take up useful desktop space, attach the lamp to the wall or build it into a shelf above the table. The light source should be either directly above the workplace, or on the left side. Choose a light bulb with the right brightness. Remember that cold white light is more attuned to the working mood, but more tiring.
Workplace at home on the windowsill
This version of the design of the workplace is very common, because it is easy to implement. If in your home, then you just need to buy a suitable office chair and place a rack or cabinet next to the workplace. If there is a battery under the windowsill, then it is best to move it, as it will prevent you from being comfortable.
In many modern homes, window sills are narrow and do not allow them to be used as a work surface. There is a simple way out of this situation - to visually extend the window sill, replacing it with a countertop. You can fix the tabletop against the side walls. If the window sill is very long, then you will need another attachment point in the middle. This role can be assumed by the curbstone. Thus, you will get not one, but two whole jobs. Above the window and next to it, you can place several shelves for storing documents. The advantage of such a workplace is in natural light and a pleasant view outside the window.
Workplace at home: ideas
You can arrange a workplace at home without having a balcony or a pantry. Proceed from the possibilities of your apartment. If you have a niche in the wall, then use it. If the room is disproportionately narrow, then block one of the sides so as to get a small study room and give the second room the correct shape.
In a spacious and wide room, you can create a niche yourself by placing your workplace between two cabinets. If you like the look of a closet, then you can decorate your workplace even in it! Your working day will not begin with a long trip by transport, but with the turn of the key. And it will end with them.
It is worth noting that for fruitful work at home you will need endurance and self-organization. Therefore, try to equip the workplace at home with everything you need so that you do not have to leave it.

If we exclude apartments where elderly people live, then all other families have at least one computer, and even as many as 3-4 - one for each family member. When there is a separate room where all computer equipment is comfortably located, then it's just great. But what about those families who cannot afford to have two or three separate offices? That's right, you need to organize a workplace in the available space. And it doesn’t matter if you work full-time from home or just use your desk with a computer to chat in in social networks- in any case, the workplace should be comfortable. Together with the Dream House website, we invite you to see how you can organize a workplace in an apartment so that it is pleasant to follow the ups and downs of friends on Odnoklassniki, view photos of interiors or prepare a quarterly accounting report.

Basic conditions for organizing a workplace at home
- When choosing a place for your desktop, you need to analyze whether it will be convenient for you to work there. There is such a science called "ergonomics", which helps to properly organize human activity, in our case - work. It is precisely the principles of ergonomics that you need to be guided by when choosing a work area, that is, so that nothing interferes and, at the same time, all the necessary items are at hand (paper, pens, flash drives).
- The next condition is functionality. The presence of shelves, drawers, hooks, clips is necessary for the orderliness of the workplace.
- And the last factor is sufficient lighting and fresh air flow to the part of the room where you are going to work.
Interesting ideas for organizing a workplace in an apartment
Another option for using a compact workplace, for example, in a one-room apartment, is with a desktop and shelves. To get to the computer, you will only need to push one door aside. The rest of the time, the closed cabinet does not carry any mention of the work area located inside.
Approximately the same principle works if you place a laptop in the opening doors of the secretary. True, in this case, it is inconvenient to work for a long time due to the fact that there is nowhere to put your feet - you will only have to sit at such a “desktop” sideways.
An unusual workplace can be organized in a cabinet that looks like a huge one, which is placed vertically with doors open at 90 °. On one inside of such a "suitcase" there is a table for a computer and drawers, on the other - bookshelves. Such original furniture will allow you to retire even in a one-room apartment.
A table with a computer can also be placed in the bedroom, unless, of course, the second half does not mind. But doctors, as well as followers of Chinese teachings, do not recommend turning the sleeping area into a work area. Use this option if the others cannot be implemented. In the bedroom, a table can be placed against the wall instead of a ladies' corner, or you can move it close to the bed and place it near the foot of the bed.
In general, in order to arrange a workplace, you can use any free space in the room. For example, one meter between the wall and the closet can already be turned into an office. To do this, you will probably have to make a table to order, but you can use the rest of the material for shelves and even small bookcases located above the computer. There is also a place for a cork or fabric board, where all important notes are usually attached.
Workplace in a small room
If your apartment has a pantry or, then consider yourself lucky. A separate office with a closing door will fit perfectly into a room that is usually used as storage for unnecessary things. But before you thoroughly settle here, solve two very important issues - with ventilation and lighting.
Look around the room carefully, maybe you can find a free corner? Use it, even if at first glance it seems negligible. As in the previous case, custom-made furniture will help out, and wall mounts for the monitor and keyboard will certainly come in handy. These are very convenient devices that can save space. In addition, swivel mechanisms allow you to change the angle of the monitor and the height of the keyboard specifically for each PC user.
Home office in the kitchen (next to the fridge and kettle) - isn't this the dream of any office worker? If the dimensions of the kitchen allow, then a small table can be installed somewhere by the window or in the corner of the room. In the end, you can fall into the arms of a soft one, and temporarily use the table as a worker.
Use a wide corridor to place a home office there. That's where you can roam with the length of the table and shelves! Use the space along the long wall and install a shelving table there, and attach a couple of the same long shelves on top - and now a chic workplace is ready. Let the table turn out to be not too wide, but it will be long, and all the necessary little things will fit on it.
In high apartments, with a wall height of more than 3 meters, the study is carried out to the ceiling. For this, a small platform is made on the “second floor”, and an elegant staircase is brought up to it. But here, as in the case of the home office in the pantry, you need to solve the issue of fresh air, because it can be hot and stuffy under the ceiling.

A bright photo in a large frame, an exclusive wall lamp will pleasantly dilute a strict interior, bring in a piece of warmth, and fill you with positive emotions after a long work.
Is it possible to find a place for a home office in a small apartment? Where and how to organize it? We have prepared many interesting ideas and useful tips for those who work from home.
For owners of small apartments, the issue of organizing space is always acute. Especially when it comes to the workplace, which is not easy to allocate an extra piece of space. And sometimes you can’t do without such a zone - someone takes work home, and some even work without leaving the apartment. So, where to put a computer, and how to equip an impromptu office?
1. In the corner
Corners are often overlooked, even in small spaces. But it is they who are able to help when you need to find a place for a compact workplace. Here you can put a corner table (fortunately, modern furniture manufacturers offer a variety of options) or use a wooden table top instead. This option allows you to equip even the most secluded corner in the apartment for a workplace - behind the door, in the hallway or in the kitchen.
2. Outdoors
Fresh air promotes better brain activity. In the summer, you can work on an open balcony, and a properly equipped loggia will allow you to work productively in the cold season. In many apartments, the balcony acts as a closet, unnecessary things are put here, thereby cluttering up the usable space.
If it is assumed that the office will be on the balcony all year round, then you need to insulate it. It is advisable to lay a soft rug on the floor, and equip the place itself with additional open shelves. Furniture for such a space should be compact, and comfortable for a working person. If you don’t need anything other than a computer, then the workplace can be done in a minimalist style.
3. On the windowsill
If you can’t use the balcony, you should pay attention to the window sills. First of all, the workplace will always be filled natural light. If you need to place several jobs, then you can make some kind of continuation of the window sill and equip the place with an additional plastic or metal worktop.In order to make it convenient to work here at night, it is necessary to hang several lamps adjustable in height and position on the wall. This option looks most advantageous in a Scandinavian interior.
4. In the closet
Fans of extraordinary solutions will surely like the workplace, equipped right in the closet. So a seemingly bulky piece of furniture that was inherited from a grandmother can be a great helper for those who work from home.It is better to re-equip the inside of the cabinet to suit your needs - make convenient organizers, free up space under your feet, make a pull-out shelf for the keyboard. Such a workplace will look relevant in any interior, and the old wardrobe will especially effectively fit into a vintage and rustic interior, and will also be appropriate in a Provence-style space.
5. In a niche or pantry
An office can be made even in an awkward niche that seems useless and visually spoils the space. Such a place is best equipped with drywall shelves. They are able to visually give the space depth, and if they are long and occupy most of the wall, they will visually expand the walls.When it comes to saving usable space, you should also pay attention to little-used places in the apartment. For example, in some dwellings where storage systems are properly organized, there is no need for a pantry. She can become an impromptu office. True, here you need to think carefully about lighting. It is advisable to equip such a workplace with built-in lighting, hang several compact sconces on the wall, put a lamp with soft directional light on the table.
