10 Ideas for Setting Up an Office Area in the Living Room

1. Place the Office Under the Attic in the Living Room

To make the most of the space in the living room under the attic, set up an office beneath the roof. Contrary to common belief, the attic can be a real advantage. Its angles, shapes, and architectural features add unique value. Only a few pieces of furniture are needed to furnish this space, so simply install a narrow desk as a work surface and you're ready. You just need to measure the space and have a good sense of decor. A built-in desk fits perfectly into the living room interior.

2. Use Color to Visually Separate the Office in the Living Room

In this ultra-clean white living room, the office area is marked by colorful rugs. This visual separation, running along the wooden board, clearly separates the office zone from the rest of the room. So, if you have the space, don't hesitate to place your desk in a corner away from the sofa. Then choose a color and material to your taste! Your desk will add a colorful accent and become an integral part of the living room without taking over the living space. To visually separate the office from the living room, you can also place a rug under the workspace.

3. Hang a Desk on the Wall in the Living Room

A wall-mounted desk remains the best solution for saving space when creating an office area in the living room. And for good reason — it doesn't take up floor space and can be very compact. When closed, it's almost invisible and acts as a console. When open, the folding door becomes a functional workspace ideal for placing a computer or simply writing. Advantages? Once the door of the hanging desk closes, all the clutter is hidden! Additionally, compartments like drawers allow you to store and organize all office accessories. In short: more than an ideal layout!
