37 Minimalist Home Offices That Sport Simple But Stylish Workspaces

If you’re going to go with a minimalist style in just one area of the home, then choose your home office. A clean and clearly organised workspace is conductive to great concentration and an uninterrupted workflow. Less visual clutter leads to less mental clutter, and you will be able to find your needed files and equipment a whole lot faster too. Take a gander at these minimalist home office ideas that have harnessed simplicity to create productive workspaces completely free from distraction, some with simple Scandi styling and a bunch with home office storage designs to fit spaces of all different shapes and sizes.

Designer: Post Formula Visualizer: Applicata

A wall mounted desk design leaves the floor free from the clutter of desk legs. Keep computer equipment pared back and the desk lamp streamlined to maintain the clean aesthetic.

Designer: JUMA Architects & Minimum Arquitectura

This desktop appears to float due to its cantilevered design and its position in front of a window. With the desk design so simple, it has been possible to select a more colourful chair design without overcomplicating the scheme.

A desk bureau has the added benefit of shutting to conceal work equipment when not in use. Desks that close up to look just like a sideboard are a great solution when the home office must reside in a living room or the corner of a bedroom. This one is paired with a Muuto Cover Chair.

Visualizer: Blackhaus Studio

Black and wood tone decor makes this home office a stylish spot, and a pleasure to come sit and work at.

Designer: Studio Wills + Architects

A desk and plentiful banks of storage have been built into an alcove to create ample opportunity for storing files and peripherals.

Visualizer: Angelina T

Sliding doors allow contents to be smoothly shut away when shelving units are in line with a worktop. A potted plant brings a little of the outdoors inside.

Visualizer: Design Rocks

Green is a colour that is said to make us feel energised and therefore productive,making it a great colour for a place of work.

Visualizer: IDunic DesignStudio

Minimalist double workspaces can be a challenge – particularly if one home office user is less minimal in their habits than the other! Incorporate plenty of neat storage solutions to encourage better practice.

Visualizer: Adilet Zulpukarov

A chalkboard wall provides a spot to scribble down notes without causing paper mountains all over the place.

Visualizer: Angelina T

Clear perspex makes an ideal minimalist desk chair, as it ghosts out of sight.

Visualizer: Yambo Studio

Place a modern home office desk in the centre of a large room for a beautifully airy effect. This white and wood desk design works well in an all white room.

Designer: Studio EI

Just because an office is minimalist doesn’t mean it has to be boring. Check out these wooden box shelves that reach out from a bank of white units at one side of the room, with the lower volume forming the desk.

Visualizer: Design Me Too

Another creative design. A designer table lamp is huddled in a nook created by an irregular line in the units, which is accentuated by a wooden facia. A black modern outdoor chair stands out boldly against light units.

Visualizer: Javier Winstein

A red pressed metal industrial style chair dominates this white and wood tone office scheme.

Visualizer: Davide Tezza

Smooth woodtone sets a dreamy scene in this writer’s home.

Designer: Avenue Design Studio

Not all minimalist home offices have to have bespoke desks and built-in shelving. Look for crisp freestanding Scandi style furniture, like these pieces from IKEA, to put together your own simple scheme.

A dedicated home office can be created almost anywhere, even under the stairs. Mid century modern desks provide a cool retro look for a simplified home office, these two have been teamed with Eames Eiffel chairs.

Visualizer: Artpartner

Try adding just one accent colour, like this stylish swivel chair in a white home office to give it a little wow.

Designer: DNA Concept

We love how this desktop overlaps the storage unit, tying it in with the white shelving up the wall.

Choose desks with wire tidies to tame electrical cables. These desk lamps come right out of the tabletop too.

Visualizer: Gustavo Coutinho

Make your study decor appear more minimal by sticking to black and white office accessories.

Combine pieces of furniture for a streamlined look, like this desk that morphs into a media storage unit at one end.

This gloriously warm wooden wall decor is freshened with a white desk, drawer units and chairs. An open shelving unit visually separates it from the other room without blocking out all of the light.

Visualizer: Now Design

LED lighting strips highlight niches in wooden wall decor.

Designer: Nordico

Set a desk behind a partially diving wall in an open plan minimalist room to screen the work zone from a relaxation zone.

Visualizer: Anna Jopek

Even a basic shelf can be utilised as a mini desk. Dress it with a statement chair and a desk lamp to complete the effect.

Visualizer: I Spy DIY

This Scandinavian workspace uses plants to freshen and soften a plain space.

50 Lovely L-Shaped Kitchen Designs And Tips You Can Use From Them

When designing a functional kitchen, the ‘working triangle’ should be kept in mind – that is, the distance between your sink, stove and fridge. An L-shaped kitchen lends itself perfectly to this triangular tip, being two sides of a triangle to begin with. An L-shaped layout works best in small and medium sized spaces, which fly closer to the work triangle efficiency guideline of spreading workstations at no more than 1200mm apart. A great kitchen is not all about rules though, it’s equally about how that space feels and inspires you to create fabulous food. This collection brings ideas for cabinet placement, shelving designs, statement backsplashes, eating areas and more.

Visualizer: Evgenia Belkina

Busy, busy, busy. A heavily patterned backsplash and zoned flooring are the stars of the show in this colourful kitchen. A small semi-circular breakfast bar has been implemented at one side of the room to allow guests to socialise with the busy chef, and as a spot for a quick snack or early morning coffee.

Designer: Euge & Seta

Block it out. This L-shaped kitchen layout with corner window is dominated by a colour block of solid yellow. The rectangle overlaps one half of a wall cabinet, and ends up across the window glass as coloured film. Yellow kitchen accessories complement the strong accent.

Visualizer: Liuba Kushnir

Implement striking design features to unite each arm of the kitchen. A black box shelf underlines wall cabinets on one wall of this kitchen, and another forms an end point to the line of pale cabinets on the other side.

Visualizer: umaT studio

Make the space feel more rectangular by adding an area rug. Set a tall decorative vase of flowers down on the floor at the units’ end, to soften the look of the hard edge.

Visualizer: Fenix Design

Whip out the sledgehammer – after seeking the advice of a professional! If budget allows, open up your disused kitchen wall to the great outdoors with some retractable doors. The increased natural light and perceived space will truly transform your kitchen.

Visualizer: Qide Design

A large picture window looking out to the garden can be hugely satisfying too. Note how the venetian window blinds at this one are wooden to match the horizontal strip around the kitchen base cabinets. A couple of geometric succulent planters match the geo backsplash, and provide a perfect modern flourish.

This sweet little grey kitchen is warmed up with gold cabinet handles and natural wood accessories. A table with a drop leaf makes a great addition to a small kitchen, allowing the eating space to be maximised or minimised in an instant.

Visualizer: Alesya Kasianenko

Focus on what makes you happy. wine glasses are the focal point in this home, highlighted by the glow of strip lights inside glass cases.

Cater to the space, and your budget. If monetary constraints don’t allow for the building of bespoke kitchen cabinets into eaves, then use up that awkward space by installing a wall of open kitchen shelving at waning lengths.

Visualizer: Specht Harpman

Fashion a peninsula around a challenging architecture.

Visualizer: Anastasia Kuspeleva

It’s not just the cabinets that follow an L-shape here, the flooring follows suit too.

Visualizer: Pikcells

Choose larder units in one colour, with standard base and wall cabinets in another to break the look of a long wall.

Visualizer: Concept Vision

As L-shaped kitchens only use two walls, they naturally open up space. This is ideal for kitchens that flow into a living room or dining area.

Visualizer: Pikcells

Find inspiration in tradition. Traditionally the kitchen sink was situated in front of a window, if one was available, like in this green kitchen. Although, in a modern age of dishwashers it doesn’t seem so important to always have the best view from here. A kitchen clock is another classic that’s been bumped. Digital oven displays and microwave clocks negate the need for analogue designs, however, they still make nice wall decoration.

Visualizer: Muji

Colour coordinate. This yellow L-shaped kitchen with breakfast bar has a matching canary yellow fridge-freezer. If you like this then be sure to check out these other yellow kitchens.

Visualizer: 3D Quart Studio

Include a corner pantry. This red kitchen has an open shelving unit filled with pantry supplies that are both useful and decorative.

Visualizer: Concept Vision

Dial away wall cabinets in a paler colour. Base units in rich colours work well when teamed with white or light upper cabinets, so as not to oversaturate a space.

Visualizer: Small Studio

Use ceiling panels to deepen the layout. This dramatically dark kitchen has an equally dark ceiling extension, fitted with spotlights. The matching material across the ceiling gives the layout extra depth, whilst two-tone cabinets play with form.

Visualizer: Pikcells

Powdery perfection. A flurry of blush pink accents and copper accessories speckle a perfect measure of contrast and warmth through powder blue decor.

Visualizer: Maciej Cylkowski

Golden honey toned wood additions and heavy black accents bring an entirely different feel to a light grey and white kitchen.

Visualizer: Robby Brymer

Make a metallic mixup. A gold faucet, a silver oven, a copper vase and candlesticks. Anything goes.

Visualizer: Vera Tarlovskaya Interiors

Jazz up the unused kitchen wall with some typographical art. It’s also a great way to mark up a side-slung dining spot.

Visualizer: Maria Kukoba

Make two seperate rooms in one. With two walls to work with you could separate kitchen facilities from utilities by splitting the arrangement, like this kitchen with washing machine. Keep cooking, prep and food supplies on one arm of your L-shape, and place washing machines and utility cupboards for ironing boards, laundry supplies and baskets along the other.

Visualizer: Modom Studio

Criss cross low mounted wall cabinets over base cupboards for a unique arrangement.

Visualizer: Nataliia Dmytrievna

Use two depths of wall cabinets, in different tones, to break up a double banked arrangement.

Visualizer: Polygon

Craft stand-out perimeters. Extend a soffit of recessed lighting around an L-shaped perimeter to add to lofty proportions. Create a unique kitchen backsplash with unusual shaped tiling in a series of different hues.

Designer: Lauren Rubin

A collection of wall shelves decorate the leftover wall here, along with a series of kitchen utensil hanging rails.

Designer: Studio Zapraszam Visualizer: Yuriy Bobak

indoor herb planters can hang along a rail too. This design allows pots to inhabit a space not deep enough for a shelf, where an open wall cupboard door from the other side might chip against its edge.

Visualizer: Andrey Karasev

Go with the flow. This completely wooden kitchen module extends its style to the hallway beyond. A matching wooden facia flows over the adjacent wall and one interior door.

Designer: Adrian Elizade

Even though the counter extends beyond the ‘L’ here, we’ve added this to the collection because it holds cunning inspiration for an L-shaped kitchen with a corner window. Notice how the end wall cabinet has been chamfered so as not to block out any of the natural light.

Visualizer: Ogovio

Curate a gallery at the end of the run. A display of decorative plates makes a beautiful and fitting end point.

Visualizer: Denis Bespalov

Simple and chic. A glowing wooden cut through between crisp white cabinets looks clean and inviting.

Visualizer: Alexandra Nyzhnyk

Create a chunky frame out of cabinets, like this white framed kitchen design with wooden inset.

Designer: BIG Design Visualizer: Vancouver House

Create a party piece. The wine cooler that towers the full height of this black kitchen is certain to keep guests entertained!

Visualizer: Serj Fedin, Serj Kondratskyi & Yevhen Zahorodnii

A boxy plant holder fringes this L-shaped kitchen with island. LED illuminated shelves brighten a wooden feature wall.

Visualizer: Polygon

Another wine rack in an L-shaped kitchen with peninsula. This time the vino is brought right to the bench. It might prove a challenge to stop at just one bottle.

Visualizer: Daria Ozhyhanova & Denys Kozak

Dual windows look grand along a length of countertop. Intricately patterned backsplash tiles on the other branch balance the look.

Visualizer: Diễm Kiều

A large potted plant makes a natural divide between the kitchen and dining spot.

Visualizer: Diễm Kiều

Use pattern to make the most of small spaces.

Designer: SREDA interior

Open shelving units and colour blocks make an interesting scheme.

Visualizer: Kuoo Architects

Minimalist kitchens can sink away into the walls with handle-free slab fronted units.

Visualizer: Int2 Architecture

Adding light wood tone and cheerful prints to a white kitchen creates a wonderfully Scandinavian style kitchen.

Designer: Studio Bazi

Even just a few special tiles can bring a new energy a plain white kitchen.

Visualizer: Anjey Mospanyuk

If you like this look, take a glance at these other industrial style kitchen designs.

Designer: Pura Arquitectura

An open shelf occupies one wall, whilst closed cabinetry completes the other. The change keeps the small space looking airy and open, rather than overwhelmed with too many units.

Visualizer: BY Visuals

Metro tiles help a small space to appear wider.

Visualizer: Anastasia Andryushchenko

A horizontal stripe is another method to visually widen the space.

Visualizer: Schmidt Kitchens

Nope, this isn’t strictly an L-shaped kitchen but we’re taking a look at the L-shaped arrangement of wooden units that are complemented by a cheerful orange unit. The unusual piece has a series of open fronted and closed volumes for displaying and concealing choice items from view.
