Basement Home Office

Working at home is a treat in a decorated and well-lit office.

A basement renovation smartly included space for a home office with lots of room to work and store files. A classic, ergonomic chair is a good investment. A low built-in cabinet with lots of drawers and a countertop to line up file boxes from Ikea allows a table to be used as a desk, which creates the illusion of more floor space. Table lamps and overhead lighting create mood and task lighting over the desk while pot lights mounted under a shelf add to the effect. White paint keeps the space light, a rug, art, a red screen and desk tray make the office homey.
