  • Make Use of Horizontal Surfaces: Accommodate for two work spaces within one room by separating two horizontal desks with a longer, vertical divider. This not only provides two designated work stations, but creates a division for privacy and additional desk surface area; great for focus, collaboration and efficiency throughout the work day.
  • Plan Vertically: Organization is key when it comes to home office functionality, especially in a smaller space. Utilize your wall space and bring your organizational solutions upward. Install floating storage units, pin boards, plug-in wall sconces and tall, vertical bookshelves to minimize clutter on desktops and floorspace.
  • Multi-functional Storage: Build-your-own desk by swapping desk legs for small cabinets to support the desk surface while also providing a smart, multi-functional storage solution. Ikea offers an easy build your own Desk Planner, offering endless desk combinations. Cost-effective DIY tip: Search your local home hardware store, thrift shops and online used-markets to mix-and-match your very own personalized desk solution.
