Today many of us are working from home, it has its own advantages and disadvantages. If u never had a separate home office and want to make one but there’s literally no space for it, you may want to locate it in one of the rooms, and though bedroom is the most popular choice, I’d like to share another popular way to go: a home office in a living room.
A home office or a tiny workspace in a living room is a cool idea: you save space, you get a large and airy room (living rooms are often the largest rooms in the house) and can have more communication, which can be both an advantage and a disadvantage. How to incorporate a working space into your living room and make it look natural?
Dining Space And Work Space
If you don’t have much space in your home, if you live in a studio apartment, this idea may work for you: combine a work space and a dining space in one right in your living room. Choose a large comfortable table and some chairs in the style and colors that match your living room for a cohesive look and use this space for both having meals and working here. Multifunctionality never goes out of style!

A Work Space In The Living Room
If you don’t have much space for a home office nook, use any nook you have – an awkward space behind the sofa, a little corner in the living room or a wall in front of the sofa if there’s no TV. You may also place your desk by the window (especially if it’s a bay or bow window with a natural niche) or choose a wall-mounted or built-in one if you have such a possibility. A console table can double as a narrow desk, or you may buy a separate desk for the space if you don’t have a console that fits or you need more space. And again, in terms of furniture choose something cohesive for the room to make the spaces merge into one and not be separated too much, this will give your living room a more harmonious look. Get inspired!
