Personalise your workspace with a colourful, vibrant style
Does your home office need to fit into a small, awkward space? Here are some great ideas for putting together a colourful, compact area for work, studies, hobbies, and play – a flexible focus zone corner that fits both your budget and personal style.
A simple setup that works for all the things you do
The solution to every small space problem is to find functional furniture that fits right into the available area while being easy on the eye. Start off with a quality desk like MITTPLAN that makes your focus zone look modern and fab. It’s small, airy, and easy to place. Visually, it melts in with the rest of your room without becoming the main focal point. The soft shapes of this grey SMÖRKULL office chair with armrests balances the desk’s straight lines and takes care of your back when sitting for hours. Apart from being a good light source for all your activities, the super-affordable FLOTTILJ desk lamp has a modern look and takes up little desk space.
An easy way to separate personal from professional
Extend your work corner with storage and a professional framing. An EKENABBEN open shelving unit is perfect for gathering your work things in one place. Keep your personal space private by creating a simple room divider with a draped piece of fabric over a MULIG clothes rack.
Storage that adapts to your fabulous finds
A lively space like this isn’t afraid of unconventional storage. Neat, easily accessible KUGGIS boxes with lids in different sizes are stacked on an INVALLNING trolley with castors to create a mobile, flexible chest of drawers. Got more treasures? Add more boxes.
Why the room works so well
Go wild with colours without painting Do you love colour but live in a white, generic, no-painting-allowed apartment? The solution is to add colour with furniture, fabrics, wall art, deco accents, and everyday items. Create a fail-proof colour paletteUse favourite posters and patterns to put together the colour scheme for your furniture, cushion covers, curtains, deco objects and more. In this room, we’ve combined the pastels and primary colours from these images to achieve a vibrant, happy look with a personal touch. Don’t forget to bring your colour palette with you when shopping – hues are hard to remember! Let your personality shinePut up feel-good photos and inspiring artwork around your workspace, and surround yourself with a few carefully chosen items that you use all the time and that give you positive energy. No tools? No problem.With ALFTA adhesive hooks, putting up hooks for frames is a breeze – no tools required. In most cases (depending on your wall surface), you can also remove them in an instant, leaving no marks.
Same room, very different mood
When living in a small space, every area needs to work around the clock. The beauty of the MITTPLAN desk is that it’s sturdy enough for work, hobbies and play while giving off an easy-going vibe. A multicoloured VATTENSTEN LED strip instantly brings a magical glow and sets the scene for video chats with friends, movie nights, or showing off your nail polish artistry.
