Distinguishing Your Corner-Space Home Office

Whipping up a stylish home office out of thin air may sound like a job best left to the pros. However, there are some surprisingly simple ways to turn awkward or unused corners into inspiring workspaces. With working from home becoming the norm, we’ve been forced to get creative with how we manage our time, energy, and wellbeing. It has also made us a lot more creative in our approach to décor. These clever corner home office ideas will prove just that! 

Decorating a corner space for your work-from-home needs

Demarcate using time-tested color pairings.

Thanks to peel and stick wallpaper, it’s quite easy to give any corner of a room its own unique identity. Use colors that naturally work well together to carve out a work zone within your living room or bedroom. A large living room composed of grey tones, for instance, can easily accommodate a touch of beige without disrupting the existing decor scheme. For those who’re into vibrant palettes, complementary colors like blue and orange or red and green can help separate leisure areas from those meant for work.

Add a textured wall.

The prospect of working from home long term is formidable enough without stark decor and unfriendly gadgetry bringing you down. Natural textures will liven up dull corners and make it easier to settle into your new 9-to-5. Corners that have windows nearby are perfect partners for faux-fabric textures and light-toned weaves. You can try out Boho-chic or eclectic corner home office ideas using our textured removable wallpapers along with plenty of houseplants and earthy accents.

Use welcoming prints and patterns.

There are no rules stating that workspaces have to be decorated using boring patterns and washed-out hues. Some of our favorite corner home office ideas involve the use of vibrant wallpapers and upholstery. Lush botanical designs, playful ikats and stripes, and cheerful nautical themes are among our top picks. The trick is to find a balance between proportion and color. For instance, to bring vibrant colors into your corner office, use small-scale floral or geometric prints that don’t overwhelm the senses. Alternatively, introduce playful, dynamic shapes and designs in soft, understated hues.

Geometry to the rescue!

There’s nothing quite as reliable as simple geometry when it comes to decorating a corner space for work. If you’re looking for corner home office ideas in a monochrome living room, for example, light-toned stripes or lattices will help you demarcate the space without encroaching upon the subtle color tones of its surroundings. Similarly, playful plaids or chevrons can add a unique layer to a living room or bedroom flaunting floral or abstract treatments.

Give yourself a view.

Looking for corner home office ideas that help you stay inspired at work? Treat yourself to a view with a gorgeous peel and stick mural flaunting your favorite skyline or landscape. There’s a tendency to write off murals as overkill, but there’s a lot they can do for dull corners. For instance, you no longer have to suffer a windowless corner; an inspiring mural coupled with well-layered lighting will give you plenty to gaze at while you brainstorm or plan your week.

Keep clutter under wraps.

Come to think of it, putting together a home office would be a lot simpler and a lot more fun, were it not for the gadgetry and storage it involves. While you can’t do away with workspace clutter entirely, you can certainly find a way to reduce its visual impact. Many of our small-scale prints and patterns work beautifully as shelf backing or cabinet surface treatments. They can help you intersperse files, stationery and wires with colorful flowers and playful themes, thus helping your eyes linger on more than just your screen.
