Think you don't have enough space for a home office? With a little time and a few low-cost finds, cluttered two-by-six-foot closet was transformed into a functional workspace blooming with inspiration.
Pretty design elements paired with smart storage solutions make this small nook feel like a full-fledged room. Maximize every square inch with smart storage solutions, so a closed-door disaster becomes a sweet space worth showcasing.
Makeover Ideas:
Wallpaper
Our first, and most important, move: covering the walls in a lush botanical print that takes this space from closet to destination. (grahambrown.com)

Chair
This wicker-and-metal design combines feminine style with practical function: Thanks to casters and an adjustable seat, it slides easily under the desk when not in use. (ikea.com)
Shelves
Avoid the visual clutter of brackets and other clunky hardware with floating planks; they don't overwhelm the tiny room — or obscure too much of the gorgeous wallpaper!
Lighting
A dainty chandelier delivers more elegance than the usual overhead fixtures, while a desk lamp offers practical task lighting.
Organizers
Why buy humdrum office supplies when storage boxes come in pretty prints, and you can use almost any vessel (cups, vases, trophies) to corral pencils, paper clips, and the like?
Rug
Provide a soft spot for bare feet — and a bit of personality to the adjacent hallway — with a cheerful floor covering.
Doors That Do Double Duty
To keep odds and ends from hogging your desktop, take advantage of unused space on the inside of the closet's doors.
