Build In Shelves And A Desk

The best idea is to build in everything, it will save you a lot of space and make your home office nook seamless. The shelves can match the walls or can be stained, for example, for a cozy farmhouse feel, and the same goes to the desk. The desk can be sleek or can feature some drawers for storage. If you didn’t plan this, you may stick to usual furniture, wall-mounted shelves and a small desk if it fits.

Consider The Lights

Light is the main thing for a niche office space because a niche may lack it, especially if it’s a deep one. Go for built-in lights, sconces and table lamps, all of them together to have options or maybe just one or two – as the space requires. Lit up shelves and a desk can be also a way to light up your home office and they won’t take any table space.
