Home Office Ideas Women Create Your Dream Office!

Home Office Ideas Women: Hey ladies, what is your office space like? I am working on my office space, and have been dreaming of creating a better home office. Are you looking for home décor ideas for your office space too?

I don’t have a dedicated office, where you can shut the door. But, I am making it work in a shared living-work space. Well boss ladies, today’s one of a few days to grab some ideas for creating your dream home offices. I have more posts coming. You’ll be able to see my office space makeover.

Home Office Ideas

Of course, it would be nice to have a dedicated home office. But, we don’t always have that luxury. Despite that fact; I know I can make an office space that makes me feel like a real girl boss. If you are like me? I hope this post helps you! Do you need a better, cleaned-up office space? I’m here to support your efforts to get the perfect girl boss dream office. These ideas will work for a shared work-office or dedicated work-office space.

How do you balance a living space – office workspace?

Balancing living and work spaces can be tricky. For me, I can have my desk in the living room area. Or clear a space in the guest-craft room making it crowded. Which isn’t the best choice because when we host guests I can’t work.

Right now, I’m choosing to be in the kitchen. For several reasons, it’s near the perfect lighting, where I need to take my photographs. Since I make recipes, and take photos of food, crafts, and lifestyle. It makes sense to have my office space where all the action is. I’m going to make it pretty and make it work. I promise to take the ugly before/and pretty after photos. You pick the perfect spot in your home for your office needs but, consider some of the musts when creating your office space.

Are you with me? First….grab a comfortable chair, and maybe your coffee to sip on.

Tips For Making a Home Office

Pick an area that doesn’t get too cold or hot.
Good natural lighting for daytime, but not too bright.
Decide on the area you’ll use to get the best use of your office.
Measure your space.
Map out your must-haves.
Make mood/style boards.
Make your plan.
Shop for items you need to create your dream space.
Set up your new home office.

Home office goals

Create a stylish area.
Have a file cabinet for paperwork if you need to store business paperwork.
Have a more organized space, with minimal items on top of the desk area. This will help you have clarity, and focus when working. (This is a biggie for me)
Add good lighting for working at night.

Stylish Comfy Office Chair

Yes! I’ve been eyeing this hourglass swivel office chair forever. Finally, it went on sale. I didn’t have the desk picked out but, I decided to get the office chair anyway. Why? First, I needed a comfy office chair. And I had sat in it every time I visited the home décor store. Each time telling Sammie, “I wish I had a pretty office chair like this.” Walking away, wishing I had gotten it every time.

What to look for when shopping for a desk chair

Super comfy
Swivels
Adjustable height
Pretty, functional, and aesthetically pleasing. One you won’t want to tuck away in a corner.

Today, I might be feeling a bit more bossy after getting it. Get it? lol

Home Office Ideas Women

Now, to put the rest of my office together. I’ve been looking at a desk from the Metro Collection. But, there are several other styles I am considering. More feminine? Glam? Vintage inspired? Or modern? Are you looking for office furniture too? See the desks and even a few more chairs here. If you pop over you’ll see why I am having trouble deciding on a new desk. The alternate option is using a vintage sewing desk the Mr. picked up for me in a yard sale. Hmmm. Dual purpose?

My favorite office idea – I love the idea of putting two desks together for Sammie, and me to work at together. Drool! I can see her studying on one side, and me working on the other. Then when we work on projects we are right there, together. (see image 4) She’d probably think that’s too much mom-daughter time. Lucky for her we don’t have the space, right now.

I decided to get this rug, that has a pop of color. It comes in neutrals too; ivory, or bronze. I have been crushing on glam for the top of the desk and, picked out a few office décor items below. A girl has to have a little bling right?

I ended up getting my mid-century modern desk somewhere else. I can’t wait to show you how my transformation is coming. Be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss out on my office space transformation.

Bookcase and Storage options for a home office

Get pretty Sea Grass Baskets like this or these Wicker Storage Baskets With Lids.
Mid-Century Modern Cabinet (this is what I’m currently crushing on for our home to tuck away all my supplies)
Farmhouse Style Cabinet with basket inserts

A bookcase or chest is great for organization, especially when used with pretty baskets, file holders, and storage bins. Do you need a corner bookshelf? This corner bookshelf is a great option.

Use baskets, or get cabinets with baskets for storage.
Organize your paperwork with files, and store it in pretty magazine/file holders.
Keep stuff organized in stylish collapsible storage bins
Bamboo Nesting Baskets
Modern Lux File Cabinet

Must have’s for a girl boss office

Copper Baskets in various sizes
Pretty lumbar pillow
Gold Desk Organizer
Gold Modern Magazine Holder (for all your inspiration)
Gold Paper Tray (for all your incoming or outgoing)
Over the door 3 basket or 5 basket organizers. I love its farmhouse style.
Agate Photo Clip or use it for a Memo Clip

Desk Top Organization is Key

Seasonal Desk Top Décor is always optional but, adds a nice touch. I love the idea of having a or two, for throw blankets, odds ends. If it gets cold in the room you can grab your throw from the basket. I also have dogs and cats who love to sleep nearby. It’s nice to have a basket to toss in their stuff when company comes.

I’ve been crushing on this Kate Spade Pen/Pencil Cup. And teetering on buying her 4 piece acrylic office set , along with her matching scissor/staple remover set. Talk about, whistling while you’re working. When my mouth is dry from all my working – (or whistling) I grab a coffee, and this is the new coffee mug I’ve been crushing on I grabbed.

I can’t wait until I have my space all set up to show you. Our home is a work in progress. What about yours? Do you have a dedicated office space? Or are you planning to create a living workspace?
