If you work from home (or if work sometimes follows you home) it's crucial to have a designated workspace. When guests come calling, on the other hand, a gigantic sit-to-stand desk covered with papers, staplers, and hole punchers doesn't exactly generate a festive mood. The gold standard for apartment dwellers who work from home is to add a workspace without making your apartment feel too much like the office.<\/p>\n
Visitors should walk into your living space, and everything their eye falls on says "home." Here are three tips from your friends at the Element Deer Valley to add a home office without compromising the living space of your Phoenix apartment<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ingenious, affordable desks like the Suave Floating Desk by Latitude Run<\/a> mount on the wall and fold down from an unassuming cabinet into a useful desk. The fixture even doubles as shelving to display plants, photos, and knickknacks. PRO TIP: <\/strong>Select a comfortable dining or club chair that you can roll or slide into position. An ergonomic office chair will stick out like a sore thumb.<\/p>\n If your clothing does not take up a lot of space, a wall or walk-in closet makes a perfect place to conceal a desk. You can build shelves to store office supplies, or <\/em>just use hanging nylon or canvas closet organizers<\/a>! Need your walk-in space? Even a coat closet can host a cozy desk. Screw some coat hooks into the wall for guests' coats. Just close the closet door on your discreet office at quitting time.<\/p>\n Just about any piece of attractive, non-office-y furniture could conceal your office supplies, keeping them close at hand while you work at the kitchen table, coffee table, or breakfast bar. Examples include storage ottomans<\/a>, storage benches<\/a>, and floating hutches<\/a>.<\/p>\n Try any one of these strategies to outfit a welcoming, relaxing home with a secret workspace.
