Your Home Office in the Bedroom

I've read online that in order to be a successful telecommuter, you need to have a nice working environment at home. It should at least resemble an office cubicle (perhaps even better) to set your mind that even though you're home, you still need to work.

My "office", if you can call it that, is located inside our bedroom. I used to have a work area but when I gave birth, I wanted to be able to watch the baby sleep while I'm working. I've never moved since then. I still want my own office but I'm very comfortable inside our room that I don't think I have the strength to start all over again.

My solution - redecorate. I'm thinking with the right bedroom furniture, we can save a lot of space so I can still have a pleasant work area. I saw a modern bedroom online and loved how the small computer table (complete with shelves on top) fitted just right in the corner of the room. It's just a matter of moving and buying new furniture.

If we have a large space, I can totally go with this.


This is actually a home office in the kitchen but I like the idea of computer table and shelves near the door.



This could work on a contemporary bedroom. It looks uncomfortable but I love the long table. I have tons of knick knacks on my computer table and I'm always welcome for a bigger (or longer) one.



Really nice. Now all I need is the money to get started.
