How To Turn a Closet into an Office
Got a closet? Need a home office? No worries. With some advice from Country Living you can transform a closet--like the one pictured above--into a home office--like the one pictured below.
Advice from the pros:
- Your new desk can be nothing more than a couple of standard filing cabinets (shot with Krylon) with wheeled stands attached to their bottoms for easy moving.
- The desk's top? A chunk of melamine.
- When decorating, treat the inside of the closet like you would a room. In this case with wallpaper and paint.
- Skip bracketed shelves and opt for floating shelves for a less-cluttered look.
- Make use of every inch of space with peg and cork boards.
- A petite chair with casters makes tucking it under a desk a snap. AND you'll be able to close the closet doors behind it.
- Skip traditional office supplies too. Rather, opt for vases and cups and such.
- A rug to your office's 'entrance' is a welcoming touch.
- Overhead lighting, like a chandelier, really is the cherry on top of this kind of makeover.
