If you live in a studio, you may assume there’s no room in your apartment for a workspace. But we’re here to tell you that’s not the case. While a spacious home office may not be possible in a tiny apartment, you can still set up a place to work that will help you stay productive. We promise you’ll get more done at a desk than from your bed or couch. Check out our tips for creating a workspace in your small apartment below.
Define the Area
You don’t need to have separate rooms to define your apartment’s workspace. One trick is to use color when setting up your work-from-home area. Creating a statement nook or statement wall with paint, wallpaper, or temporary wallpaper can help to visually separate your workspace from the rest of your apartment. Another way to do this is to invest in some room dividers.
Make It Multi-Functional
When you live in a small space, multifunctional furniture is essential. This is especially true when you’re creating a home office space. Instead of purchasing several pieces of bulky furniture, look for a multifunctional desk with built-in storage areas. If you don’t have room for a separate desk, using a table you already have can work just fine. The key is to get as much as you can out of a few furniture pieces as possible.
Go Vertical
If you’re tight on space, consider thinking vertically. There’s likely a lot of empty wall space in your apartment no matter that you can utilize for your workspace. Pieces like floating shelves or wall-mounted desks make it easy to add functional furniture to your apartment without taking up more floor space.
