17 Bedroom office ideas for a clever combo of functionality

post

Making a home office space work in the bedroom can be a challenging task. Maintaining a good work-life balance is trickier when the only place you have to work is your bedroom office.

Fortunately, it’s easy to transform this room into a dedicated workspace without sacrificing the comforts of your bedroom. Check out these most inspiring bedroom office ideas that will provide you with the ultimate combination of comfort, style, and functionality.

A Room Divider Creates a Sense of Separation

Adding a simple room divider helps you differentiate between your sleeping area and dedicated workspace. The slats on this divider create a sense of airiness and openness, offering visual separation without making the double-duty bedroom feel dark or cluttered.

The open slats also allow for plenty of natural light to filter in from the bedroom window and to the desk area. This gives the bedroom a light, bright look and feel while also providing light while you work to avoid eye strain.

Note that the divider in the photo is attached to a low-profile structural wall. You can easily purchase a standalone room divider to save money and space. This also provides you with more flexibility if you want to change the layout or plans for the room in the future.

Choose a Cozy Corner for Your Desk and Office Supplies

If you have a small space, choose one wall or corner of the bedroom and use it for your bedroom office. A slim, standing desk gives you plenty of room to work without being too bulky, and you won’t need a separate office chair. This option is ideal for people who only work from home part-time or just a few hours a day.Look for an area of the bedroom near the window for maximum light. If you have any extra wall space, consider installing some wall shelves or a large wall cabinet to utilize additional vertical space for storage. Choose your office furniture carefully and look for a small, slim desk that won’t take up too much space in the bedroom.

Use a Guest Bedroom as an Office Area

When it comes to smart bedroom office ideas, a guest room makes a wonderful home office space. This room can perform double duty, serving as a comfortable guest bedroom when you have overnight visitors, and your dedicated work space the rest of the time.

Utilizing a spare bedroom is a smart way to maximize the available space you have. Not only does it help you save space in the rest of your home, but it also gives you a sense of separation between work and home life.

Look for an office desk that’s easy to move or push against the wall. That way, you can free up floor space and provide plenty of room to stretch out when you do have guests stay over. Choose lightweight, durable furnishings that are easy to store away when they’re not being used.

Use Nontraditional Furniture

You don’t need a bulky desk or a massive desk chair if you’re working in the bedroom. A functional home office desk simply needs a work surface where you can place your computer or do some writing. This rectangular farmhouse-style table is attractive and functional without taking up the entire room.

A small chair with a back provides you with ample support while you work, but it’s not as bulky as a more traditional desk chair with arms and a large footprint. Think outside the box and look at some nontraditional furnishings that will serve their purpose without making the room feel cluttered.

Home Office Design Ideas: Use Built-Ins

Bedrooms with built-ins are extra functional without making the space feel overdone. You can also use a custom-built wardrobe with a built-in desk and storage cabinets for a highly functional workspace. This works particularly well if you have a small room, creating a dual-purpose space that’s also warm and inviting.

Multifunctional furniture gives you many more options, whether you’re planning to use your primary bedroom as an office forever or you’re going to make changes in the future. Built-ins that take up an entire wall with vertical storage give you endless possibilities for storing clothing and accessories as well as office supplies.

Work Near a Window

Working in an office bedroom without a view isn’t exactly appealing. If possible, set up your home office area in front of a window. Not only will you get the benefits of natural light, but you’ll also have the chance to gaze outside every once in a while.

You probably don’t utilize the area in front of your bedroom window when the space is solely being used as a bedroom. However, putting a small desk and a comfy chair directly in front of the window will boost your mood and make working from home a much more pleasant task.

If you have a large window space available, you can even make a bedroom office with a double desk for two people out of it.

Try a Wall-Mounted Desk

Whether it’s a spare room or the primary bedroom, installing a wall-mounted or floating desk is a great way to free up space. These desks attach directly to the wall, giving you more room overall. Try a floating desk that you can fold up like a Murphy bed to free up even more floor space when you’re not hard at work in your bedroom office.

If the room feels a bit bland, consider adding a fun gallery wall above the desk. This will give your workspace a pop of personality and add warmth to a small office space. The addition of artwork also helps to create a cozy, calming bedroom.

Get the Most Out of a Large Bedroom

If you happen to have lots of extra space, it’s a perfect opportunity to make the most of your bedroom office. Bedrooms with a separate sitting area are an excellent choice if you need to design a custom work area. Use this dedicated space to bring in more office storage like a filing cabinet or a printer stand.

A pair of tall cabinets on each side of the desk also gives you extra storage space while still feeling sophisticated and bedroom-like. Notice that this room has a mirror mounted to the wall above the desk. Adding a mirror makes the room feel even larger and reflects the light to make it brighter.

Create a Calming Bedroom Office with Neutral Colors

Work can be stressful, so you want to ensure that your space feels calming and serene. This also applies to a bedroom, so choose a soft, neutral color palette to evoke a relaxing aesthetic. Instead of stark white walls, try a soft terracotta, gray, or tan.

An interior designer can help you select the right color palette for your needs. You can also grab some paint samples and try a few different shades until you find the right combination. Remember, bedroom offices don’t have to be dark and depressing, so have fun looking for gorgeous colors for wall paint, bedding, artwork, and furniture.

Keep it Classic

The bedroom is a very personal space, so don’t feel pressured to make it high-tech just because you work there. Instead, opt for vintage furniture or toned-down designs that keep your office space traditional.

Shop for vintage pieces at local antique stores or estate sales. Incorporating some classic pieces or a vintage desk helps you feel more grounded, and it gives the office a much more “homey” feel.

Go Minimalist

One of the best bedroom office ideas is to keep things as sleek and simple as possible. Choose a simple desk without a lot of bells and whistles or bulk.The more minimal your work area is, the easier it will be to create a sense of separation between your workday and your bedroom. If you have a smaller bedroom, opting for a simple setup is ideal. A minimalist work area also helps you to stay focused.

Add Natural Elements

Traditional offices have lots of plants, so why not bring some into your bedroom home office? Incorporating natural elements gives this space a cheerful yet calming effect.

Look for plants that are easy to care for and that thrive in low light. A tree placed in the corner or a potted plant placed on top of your desk will help to brighten your day and your bedroom, too.

Add a desk into a window sill

If you are working with a small space in your bedroom, you can make use of the window sill to integrate your desk space. This way, you can create extra room for your laptop and office supplies.

This will allow your bedroom office to look out onto the garden or street and you will get the prime spot in terms of daylight.

Keep it small and minimal

A small vintage desk can do wonders for creating an impromptu bedroom office space. While it might be a bit too small for working from home full-time, it’s great for those sporadic video meetings or e-mail sessions.

Be Smart with your storage space

It’s tough to design a functional work area if you have a small bedroom. Look for ways to maximize as much space as possible, like converting a walk-in closet into a built-in desk.

Even if you have a tiny space, you can find ways to make it functional. Choose a narrow desk or use a smaller chair, and try built-in shelving to make sure you have enough space for supplies and paperwork.

Be Bold with Your Design

While neutral colors are great if you want to design a calming bedroom office, you can also do the opposite and go bold. Paint the walls a deep, rich color to give the area a pop of drama and personality.

If you don’t have a dedicated room for an office, this is your opportunity to let your design style shine. Install a funky overhead light fixture or look for some neon abstract artwork that will make this part of your home stand out from the rest.

Use Only What You Need

No matter what size your bedroom is, it’s best to keep things as simple as possible when it comes to your bedroom office. If you don’t need a massive filing cabinet, don’t buy one. If a laptop is sufficient, stick to that instead of buying a bulky computer tower.

Don’t add a table lamp to your desk if the bedroom has plenty of windows or bright overhead lighting. Make a list of the items you need, and eliminate the ones you don’t so you’re getting the absolute most functionality from the space you have available to you.

A grey shaker kitchen with a breakfast nook and a dark grey bedroom

post

Grey is the base color used to decorate this beautiful apartment in Sweden (Styled by Emma Fisher, Annica Clarmell, and Anna Granberg, photographed by Peter Pousard for Alvhem). It works so well in the interior design.

The grey shaker kitchen is planned over an entire kitchen wall, allowing space on the other side for a cozy dining table with a breakfast nook. The shiplap wall behind the bench and the high wall shelving give this seating area a subtle farmhouse touch for a cozy and inviting effect.

The living room has white walls, grey couches, and a neutral decor for a calm and tranquil look. The bedroom, on the other hand, has a dark grey wall color which gives it a moody and dramatic expression that can be seen from the living room.

The combination of colors and balanced decor is so on point in this beautiful apartment for sale in Sweden (Styled by Linnéa H. Manaberi, for sale at Bjurfors).

The light grey kitchen is finished off with a tile backsplash that goes up to the ceiling and an elegant white marble countertop and simple stainless steel hardware result in a simple yet inviting kitchen design.

The bedroom is fitted inside a space with a sloped roof with a wardrobe custom-built to fit the layout and to provide lots of storage space. The minimal aesthetic of the bedroom looks cozy and inviting at the same time.

A blue living kitchen paired with a pink bedroom in a historic home

post

The color palette in this gorgeous turn-of-the-century apartment in Sweden (styled and photographed by Therese Jahnson for Historiska Hem) is unique and bold, yet so balanced at the same time. The living room is painted in a combination of light blue and a darker blue on the wainscoting and window and door frames for a cool setting that is contrasted by the warm tones in the artwork and the warm wood dining chairs.

The bold color choice in the living kitchen elevates the minimal white kitchen design with an island in the middle and the glass dining table in front of the window offers a perfect spot to gather for dinner.

The main bedroom is painted in a pastel pink shade on the walls, paired with a burgundy paint color on the wainscoting and a combination of warm wood tones and warm textiles to match the warm effect of the wall color in the space.

The kid’s room might have the boldest color palette of the entire apartment, with a mixture of blue on the walls, pink on the moldings and window frame, and a bright orange fabric canopy above the cod.

Greige kitchen cabinets paired with a dark grey bedroom

post

This gorgeous turn-of-the-century home in Sweden (Styled by Yngfalk interior, photographed by Mia Borgelin for Historiska Hem) features a gorgeous corned layout kitchen with greige kitchen cabinets and an island separating the kitchen section from the rest of the open-plan living space.

The spacious warm wood dining table paired with the beautiful soft-shape dining chairs finds its place in front of the impressive windows from which an abundance of natural daylight comes in. The modular sofa on top of a textural area rug fills the other side of the space and finishes off the kitchen look perfectly.

The bedroom has a dark grey wall color, which adds a bit of a dramatic effect to the interior and it allows for the curved beige headboard and the mixture of blue and orange textiles to stand out in a powerful way. The walk-in closet is painted in the same color as the bedroom and an antique mirror reflects this space in a majestic way.

This stylish attic home in Sweden (Styled by Nouvel Interior, photographed by Mariah Sahlander for Bjurfors Beyond) has a sloped roof on both sides, dividing the apartment into two main sections, where different room functionalities are included.

One of the sections has a black wall with a glossy black kitchen in front of it, which is paired with a vintage table used as a kitchen island in the middle and a beautiful round dining table in front of the balcony window.

The living room features a black leather sofa paired with a mixture of natural wood tones and a vintage painting on the wall and the rest of the living room interior is decorated in a mixture of strong black tones and naturals as well.

You don’t often see glossy black kitchen cabinets that work well in a space, however, the combination of the matt black wall and the high-gloss treatment on the cabinets in the space looks very interesting.

This gorgeous historic apartment in Sweden (Styled by Anna Van Keppel, photographed by Elin Sylwan for Historiska Hem) has such beautiful, ornate detailing underneath the ceiling, in the wainscoting on the walls, and on the beautiful doors and window frames.

The bedroom, which lies right next to the living room has a wardrobe built above the bed paired with a delicate wallpaper design that accentuates the white historic details in the room.

Pink wainscoting and a sage green kitchen in an eclectic Nordic home

post

This gorgeous apartment in Sweden (Styled by Thomas Lingsell, photographed by Fredric Boukari for Historiska Hem) is decorated in a wonderful color palette that adds a unique character to the interior of the space. The dusty pink wainscoting in the living room is paired with pops of blue, pink, and other muted tones for an eclectic effect and a one-of-a-kind look.

The sage green kitchen cabinets with gold hardware add another muted color to the setting, which can be seen from the living room because of the open floor plan.

The bedroom features a delicate beige wallpaper design that adds a subtle romantic touch to the setting and the blue wallpaper in the entryway makes the front area of the apartment unique.

Light grey walls and an elegant white kitchen in an attic home

post

This light-flooded attic apartment in Sweden (styled by Grey Deco, photographed by Henrik Linden, via Alvhem) has a beautiful tone of light grey paint on the living room and bedroom walls. These two rooms are adjacent and can be seen from each other, making it even more apparent that both spaces’ color palettes and decor complement each other.

The white kitchen features a beautiful marble countertop and its layout is planned to optimize for storage space on its different walls, allowing a spot for a small dining table in the middle.

The bedroom includes a small home office spot with a black desk that adds a lot of contrast to the setting which is decorated with mostly white textiles.

The grey living room wall color adds a darker tone to the setting, which has been brightened up by the white sofa, the white area rug, and the set of two white marble coffee tables. The gallery wall above the sofa adds a unique effect to the space and I love that the brown tones in the left print come back in one of the throw pillows on the sofa.

The pairing of beige and white sheer curtains in front of the window finishes the interior decor off nicely and softens out the daylight that comes through the windows.

The mixture of different colors and textures on the throw pillows adds a beautiful and cozy effect to the space, which is enhanced by the texture of the area rug.

A white kitchen with a small dining area

The kitchen is painted in a beige wall color, which makes the white kitchen cabinets stand out in an elegant way. The white marble countertop and the chrome hardware provide a subtle modern look to the classic design of the cabinet fronts.

The room where the kitchen is placed is rather long and narrow, so the different kitchen modules are spread over different areas, allowing a small spot for a dining table right next to the main kitchen module.

The Moccamaster coffee maker in aluminum fits perfectly with the material choice of the hardware on the cabinets.

The side of one of the kitchen modules is used for a wardrobe module, combining kitchen and entryway storage into one.

The bedroom wall color is the same one as the paint color used in the living room, connecting the color palettes of both spaces together. The bed with the white fabric headboard in front of the window is decorated with a mixture of beige and brown textiles that is similar to the arrangement on the living room sofa.
