The 10 Most Popular Home Offices of 2012
Whether you have a small corner, a blank wall or an entire room to
work with, setting up a home office that works well for you takes some
planning. In 2012, Houzzers went for spaces that kept things simple,
saving these photos to their ideabooks more than any others of
workspaces. See which home offices got the most attention and if there's
an idea for practical built-ins or dual workspaces here for you.
1. Manhattan corner office. Any
nook or corner space can become a great home office when you have the
right tools. Houzzers loved the clean, white built-ins and the elegant
powder-blue chair in this small home office.
2. Double duty in the San Francisco Bay Area. Creating
a workspace for two can be tricky, but this extra-long countertop
provides both parties with plenty of room. Grass cloth bulletin boards
with metal initials on top even divide inspiration space.
3. Casual Rhode Island workspace. Sometimes
a single wall is all the room a home office has. This open doorway
provides some separation from the rest of the home, and off-white
built-ins help to distinguish the space too.

4. Black and white split in Minnesota. This
U-shape counter provides ample surface area in a home office for two.
Houzz readers saved this photo for its simple black and white palette
and the extra-deep shelving next to the windows.

5. Working in white in Illinois. Textured
wallpaper provides a nice sense of contrast in this mostly white
office, transitioning between the built-ins and the dark desktop.
6. Rich accents in North Carolina. If
you're lucky enough to have a full room dedicated to your office, take
advantage! The black back-painted shelves in this room show off
beautiful book collections and tie in with the chandelier and café
chairs.
7. Inspirational neutrals in Massachusetts. Houzzers
loved the subtle statement this designer made with the neutral green
zebra-print desk chair. The perfect bookcase styling also inspired users
who saved this photo to their ideabooks.
8. Sliding barn door. A
rustic sliding barn door reveals a quiet desk space in this country
home. Rich wood paneling and a marble slab floor add a luxe touch.
9. Modern New York family office. This
take on the two-person office presents each person with less individual
workspace but saves room for a joint counter near the window. Houzz
users saved this photo for its smart layout and the industrial open
shelving.

10. Asian influence in Boca Raton. One
of the boldest designs in the group, this Florida office combines open
shelving and built-ins in a black display case. Houzzers especially
loved the Asian accents.
