Again, I never tire of seeing how people, real people spent their time getting things done. Some prefer more muted earth tones, some a clinical look, others streamlined with everything in it’s place and hidden, while some need to see everything in front of them, spread out on a desk, pinned to a board on the wall. Whatever the case, here are some tips on creating a functional workspace for you. First this above contemporary space is currently my wallpaper. I just love the contrast of the pink against the gray wall, the minimalistic approach that manages to keep some style. It’s not exactly what I’d go for but I love the look…

Love the way they injected color in a sterile white space. Accessories does wonders…

What a sophisticated space? I love it. Looks like something out of a hotel. This faux croc studded desk is everything to me. You can get it Here.

Glad to see this room wasn’t abandoned because of the slope ceiling. Here are other ways to make a space functional with odd angles…

Blogger Mr. Goodwill Hunting’s thrift store finds turned fabulous masculine office space.

So much bright color…

So much natural light is sure to keep you motivated. Try making the home office in a room other than what it’s intended for, like a sunroom. See how this formal dining room turned office works…

If you don’t want to spend time wallpapering the backs of bookcases, simply use open backed bookshelves and paint the wall to give same effect…

I like bits and pieces of this man space from the belt on the curtains, the tie behind the photo…

Which space do you like the most? Do you like neutral monochromatic tones or a vibrant colorful office?
