It's tough to transition to working from home if you don't know how to create a space that encourages productivity. But with the right home office desk ideas, you'll be able to decorate a space that makes working from home a pleasure. Keep reading to see some of our favorite home office ideas and get inspired to design the workspace of your dreams.
The contemporary rug in this office space introduces a playful yet sophisticated element with its dotted pattern, which adds visual interest without overwhelming the room's classic aesthetic. Its subtle color scheme bridges the rich wooden tones of the flooring and the deep blue wall, contributing to the room's refined and cohesive look.
Nothing says modern farmhouse like whitewashed palette furniture. In this versatile home office space, a lot is going on, from the low area rug that's thin enough for the casters of the chair to roll over to the low-hanging decorative lighting accents and the white walls. Try picking bright, semi-opaque curtains if you have a lot of windows in your office to let you block out the midday sun when needed. And if you can fit your home office in a room with a fireplace, you're sure to enjoy working the colder months much more.
Sometimes home office desk ideas don't need fancy desk chairs, big computer screens, and desks with endless draws. Instead, the basics shown here – a table lamp, writing desk, and folding chair – can be plenty to get your work done. And when you add a textured area rug in a soothing color, the decor comes together, especially if you're lucky enough to have a view like the one this office overlooks.
Adding an artistic area rug can elevate an otherwise boring space to a home office you'll love spending time in. This home office keeps the desk tucked away in a convenient corner in the back with a soothing sitting area up front. Notice the use of earthy neutrals with calm blues to create a space that encourages relaxation and productivity.
If you can find a wall with a view to set your desk up against, you can make a comfy office almost anywhere. This space features a simple writing desk with built-in storage and a comfortable office chair to relax in. Add a table lamp and a nice view, and you're all set for creativity and productivity all day. And if you can add houseplants, you'll create an office with more life and excitement.
Built-in shelves make an ideal home office space because they offer storage while making it easy to decorate. Add an industrial-style desk with a comfortable, no-nonsense chair, and you're ready to work! Here, we see a basic computer setup facing away from the shelving, which can help keep your focus on your work and prevent distractions. The low-pile office rug adds warmth and character to the space while protecting the floor from the desk and chair.
A lounge-style office is just what some of us need – who wants to sit in an uncomfortable chair during long calls? This space makes excellent use of an artistic area rug, charcoal accent wall, and large wall hanging. We also love the gallery wall above the low, open shelving, creating a whimsical appeal. And the hanging plants against the accent wall in the back mirror the artistic style of the wall hanging for added appeal.
The cream-colored rug with classic patterning complements the rich wood tones of the office furniture and flooring, adding a touch of elegance and warmth to the room. It provides a soft contrast to the sleek, dark built-in cabinetry and helps to define the seating area, making the space more inviting.
Any open wall where you can fit a desk is the perfect candidate for a home office. Here, we see a simple writing desk with built-in storage and hairpin legs against a wall in what looks to be the living room. The area rug includes the office for a cohesive room design, and the seating throughout creates versatility. Try keeping a pouf and a light, easy-to-move side table in your home office to give you options when you want to move around.
If you love dark, moody colors, try painting one or more walls in your home office with a deep blue or green. Here, we see the built-in desk painted to match the moody walls for a creative and modern appeal. Try adding a textured rug to your office and pick something light-toned if you go with darker walls. When you use dark wall colors, lighter floor colors can help to balance the look.
Shared spaces sometimes necessitate eclectic designs. Here, we see a home office tucked in the back of a living room for a fun and funky look. The trick is to make the office a space that you can retreat to while ensuring the room's decor flows together. Here, we see smart use of the books on the shelves, which keep with the color palette in the room to ensure everything in the space goes together. And the sitting area would make an excellent place to retreat to while you're on hold or listening to a long conference call.
The distressed pattern rug in this office adds a layer of vintage charm and softness, contrasting with the sleek, modern lines of the dark desk and the hardwood floors. It anchors the workspace in the room, providing a visual balance against the bright natural light and garden views from the large windows.

Office plants tend to create a cheerful, calm atmosphere, and they're excellent for home offices. Here, we see a space that's perfect for meeting with clients, complete with an eye-catching accent chair and beautiful hanging light. But the plants steal the show, drawing attention to the decorative cabinets in the back. And we love the Harry Potter-inspired decor in the back – try adding similar personal touches based on your own interests to make your office look more attractive.
This large desk has plenty of built-in storage to accommodate papers, files, and tech when you're not using it. And the artwork hung in front of the desk is a great option when you don't have a room with a view. Notice the thin area rug used to protect the room's carpet while adding color and character to the home office. This is a great approach when transforming a guest bedroom or living area into a home office.
The textured, green-hued rug in this office adds an organic depth and a grounding effect, complementing the room's modern aesthetic and green color scheme. Its robust texture contrasts with the sleek lines of the furniture, tying the eclectic elements together into a cohesive and creative workspace.
The rug in this office space adds a layer of sophistication with its muted tones and linear pattern, complementing the modern aesthetic of the furniture and the room's clean lines. It also introduces a soft texture underfoot, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere within the professional setting, softened by the presence of a small dog looking out the window.
A glam desk atop a rose-colored area rug can leave you excited to sit down in your home office. We love the acrylic chair legs and the metallic, curved desk legs, creating a decidedly modern appeal. The houseplant in the back adds life, while the modern abstract art on the wall keeps things classy. If you like house plants, try adding an orchid to a glam desk for the charming chic appeal we see here.
The textured rug in this office adds a layer of warmth and texture, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Its neutral tones complement the room's palette, anchoring the furniture and harmonizing with the wood and leather accents.
The plush, geometric-patterned rug in this office space adds a touch of modern elegance and softness, contrasting beautifully with the dark hardwood floor. Its light color and texture provide a calming balance to the dynamic, city wallpaper and sleek furniture.
This artsy home office uses a large wall hanging, a sculptural desk lamp, and other fun accents atop the desk to create a fun look. The tall house plant, vintage area rug, and basket of pillows add to the appeal. Make a spot that you won't want to leave at the end of the way. And the thin, dark-toned area rug protects the floor while giving the office character and a warm spot to curl your toes into when you kick off your shoes.
Blue and white are common office colors because blue encourages productivity while improving a sense of calm. Here, we see a comfy chic office with a simple A-frame desk featuring a glass topper and a laptop set up for productivity. The stylish chair adds character, while the large pouf creates an alternate seating option. The office pouf could also serve as a footrest, creating versatility in this space while gently contrasting with the beautiful vintage-style rug.
Sometimes you don't want to turn your desk toward the window, and sometimes you do. Try positioning your desk and rug so you can swap which side you're sitting on. And when the sun is too bright during the middle of the day, a set of semi-sheer white curtains can help create a breezy look while preventing too much glare. Finally, consider picking a rug with a subtle sheen or lighter-toned colorway to work well with large, bright windows.
The vibrant, round office area rug in this office introduces color and artistic expression, creating a focal point that enlivens the space with its intricate design and bold hues. It breaks the monotony of the room's muted colors, adding depth and character, and pairs well with the natural light and greenery outside the window.
We hope these home office ideas have helped you decide how to design your at-home productivity station. Remember, you don't have to use all the tips, just pick and choose to find the ones that work for you. For example, you might select a desk and area rug placement from one image but add lighting and storage from another. What matters is that you make your space your own while still having enough room to work and relax.
