Many people sometimes have to solve some work issues at home, so having an office in the apartment is a very relevant solution.

However, it is easy to allocate an entire room for an office if you live in a private house or a large apartment.

In all other cases, you need to try to “fit” the work area into some part of the interior.

What options can be considered?

Take a closer look at the windowsill

We are accustomed to standard solutions that provide for small windowsills on which you can place a few flower pots at most.

However, you can order a window sill with a more capacious tabletop.

As a result, your work place will take up a minimum of space, notes interior designer Yulia Tychino , an expert for the online publication BelNovosti.

If you calculate the dimensions of the tabletop correctly, you can place all your work supplies on the windowsill.

If you have a spacious balcony

With such an advantage, it is definitely worth using. Of course, you will have to think through a number of technical issues related to insulation and electricity, but these efforts will pay off.

It will be very comfortable to work on the balcony, isolated from family members.

Plus, you'll have perfect lighting during the day.

Compact shelf

There are many interesting home office solutions that are designed for owners of small apartments. You can find a small shelf that will become both a workspace and a "storage" for accessories.

Some also offer options for tables that are attached directly to the wall and can be removed when not needed.

Any free area in the apartment

If you live alone, you can choose any part of the living space, install everything you need and work comfortably.

If you have relatives, you will have to "fence yourself off" with screens or try to find the most secluded place. It is worth paying attention to a part of the living room or bedroom.

It would be ideal if there was a small niche in the house. Then you could place your workspace without damaging the appearance of the apartment.
