15 Chic Home Office + Bedroom Combos We're Copying for Ourselves
With the rise of telecommuting, having a home office is becoming more of a necessity. Don’t have an extra room to spare? Convert a part of your bedroom into a workspace. Visually, you’ll want to make sure things don’t look too disjointed. Also pay attention to function—a home office and bedroom combo needs to be both conducive for working and relaxing. We have several ideas:
1. Go with a Murphy
A Murphy bed (fold-up bed) is always a good idea for a multipurpose bedroom. You get to fold it up when bedtime’s over so there’s no distraction during working hours. Love that the desk’s on wheels, allowing you to move your workspace around—definitely useful for a change of scenery.
2. Side arrangement
The ‘workstation by the side’ look is an obvious arrangement when it comes to incorporating the home office in the bedroom. But the extra partition keeps a clear distinction between workspace and bed. It’s not at a too great a height either so you can still take advantage of the daylight from the windows.
3. Bedside extension
Visual consistency is pivotal if you are looking to pair your home office with the bedroom. Clad in the same woodgrain laminates, this wall-hung workspace extends out as part of the built-in nightstand.
4. Glass partition
If just by looking at the bed will lead to a hit on your productivity levels, then go with a full divider to segregate your home office from the sleeping area. A glass partition is less visually bulky and still allows light to penetrate through.
5. Step up
This petite apartment packs everything in a single space, which meant that the bedroom and home office are located in the same area as the living room, dining room and walk-in closet. The staggered arrangement here is done to create various zones, with the workstation set on wheels so it can be moved out of the space when necessary.
