Space-Savvy and Tiny Home Workstations that Pack Quite a Punch

An efficient, aesthetic and dedicated home office is a great addition to the modern home and an absolute necessity for those who work from home on a daily basis. But for many others who spend no more than an hour or two each week sorting through stuff, checking and receiving mails and ironing out other details over their laptops, a dedicated home office is indeed a complete waste of space. The room can be put to better use in many different ways while any small corner in the bedroom, living room, kitchen or even the hallway can be turned into a smart workstation.

Even if you do not spend endless hours on a laptop, having a small work desk at home is a smart choice. You can spend time at the desk to fill out a few forms, pay bills, spend some time browsing through things or even flip through a few important files every now and then. And in case there comes the odd day when you need to bring your work home, you already have a great spot to get it all done!

Living Room Workspaces

If you detest bringing work into the bedroom, then living room workspaces are a wonderful alternative. You do not need really much here as a simple floating shelf at the right height can do the trick. Pull up a chair and you are pretty much set! This might not sound like much, but for those who just spend 15 to 20 minutes in front of their laptop at home, you really do not need anything more elaborate. The only constraint here is lighting and the right pendant or table lamp, can solve this conundrum as well.

Lighting for Small Home Workstations

As we talked about earlier, lighting play an important role in completing even a makeshift workspace at home and with the right lighting, a simple floating shelf or cabinet coupled with a dining room chair can be turned into an impressive workstation. Pendants are undoubtedly the favorite if you have both the space and the budget to spare. They offer perfect task lighting and double as stylish fixtures that add to the appeal of the living room, bedroom or even hallway during daytime. If pendants for the tiny workstation seem a bit too much, then a simple table lamp or even LED strip lighting work just fine.
