How to Get Started

Think you don't have enough space for a home office? With a little time and a few low-cost finds, these savvy people have transformed a cluttered two-by-six-foot closet into this functional workspace blooming with inspiration.

Wallpaper
First, and most important, move: covering the walls in a lush botanical print that takes this space from closet to destination.

Chair
This wicker-and-metal design combines feminine style with practical function: Thanks to casters and an adjustable seat, it slides easily under the desk when not in use. (ikea.com)

Before

Maximize every square inch with smart storage solutions, so a closed-door disaster becomes a sweet space worth showcasing.

Shelves
Avoid the visual clutter of brackets and other clunky hardware with floating planks; they don't overwhelm the tiny room — or obscure too much of the gorgeous wallpaper! (10¼"W x 43¼"L; ikea.com)

Create a Custom Desk:

Attach a wheeled stand to the base of each cabinet to make moving your desk a breeze.
Brighten up your mobile file cabinets with long-wearing indoor/outdoor spray paint.
Position a ready-made melamine desktop on the two file cabinets, and voilà — you're ready to roll.

Big thanks to Country Living.
