In the last year, due to the Coronavirus, most of us have had to change our habits and recreate a work environment from home. In fact, smart working, even if it is convenient on the one hand, on the other hand it is not always easy to sustain among children, small spaces and the gap between private and working life which is increasingly narrow.
So how do you do it? Let’s see below the most original tips and ideas on how to recreate a home office in a small house.
Home office in a small house
Working from home certainly has its advantages such as doing everything more calmly, being able to wear comfortable clothes, etc. But it also has its downsides, especially if there are children and a very small environment involved.
But the same can be recreated a workspace: just organize the spaces well and take advantage of every centimeter available.
Home office in a small house: how to do it?
In order to recreate a home office in a small house, you don’t necessarily have to have real rooms to exploit. But you can safely recreate a study corner even in a bedroom, in a kitchen, in a living room and, why not, in a bathroom.
And how to recreate a study corner? First of all, you need to get a table, a desk or even a mini console for tablets and laptops.
Then you have to place this in a corner by itself, delimiting the space outside to make it clear that it is a workplace, different from the rest of the house. You can for example use a carpet or even, paint the wall of that angle of another color to stand out and differentiate it.
If, on the other hand, you don’t have an independent corner available, you can rearrange the furniture in the living room or bedroom in a different way.

Once the actual corner has been created, you can move on to defining the details. For example, they can exploit the spaces not only in width but also in height, thus adding shelves, racks and cubes with drawers.
Or you can build a small cabinet with drawers from scratch using old tools available. And again, if you have a lot of documents to keep, you can create a pile of books on the floor that will act as a living bedside table on which you can place the sheets.
Home office in a small house: style tips
After having finished creating your own work corner, you can move on to the funniest part, that of the actual furniture. Use the right colors, that are in line with your personality and your mood. And of course without forgetting the style of the rest of the house. For example, don’t opt for too bright and intense colors if you already have a colorful home. If, on the other hand, you love sobriety and want to give a more gritty touch to your home office, paint the wall in a colorful shade that blends well with the rest of the environment. This also applies to the details.
Then, another thing not to be underestimated is practicality: organize all the spaces well, giving everything its precise place and without hindering that of another object. In this way, you will be more well prepared to work and concentrate in a harmonious and orderly environment.
