Nothing in office but office. Take the ski's to garage or shed. Your off to a good start. U can add shelves above the cabinet with leafs or art.

Drool-worthy office room!

First, I think you need to choose an overall style. This should probably reflect your business. Is it a hip kind of business, or more traditional? Lots of color or muted? Relaxed or more formal? What do you wear while working? This might give you some ideas.

Do you like looking out of the window while you work? If so, float a large desk facing out of the window. It could be a statement piece, something special. Make sure the keyboard drawer or top is the right height for you.

Or... do you have to meet with people? Maybe a small "conference" table floated over by the window.

That window is such a great focal point.

Technology should be accommodated with a plan. But most important is where you want to sit while looking at a screen. That nook where the desk is right now looks cramped and gloomy. Think spacious and somewhere that will encourage you to sit (so work can beckon instead of turning you off).

Maybe a printer and/or fax machine belong on the current desk? Along with the bulletin board.

Do you need a TV for your job? If so, it needs a place.

An area rug that fills more of the blank space in the middle would be super-nice. Use color for the rug if you're going for more informal; a contemporary design (white on not-bright color?) if you want the room to look more spare but still interesting.

Since those cupboards have doors, you'll not have to worry about filling them for now. Who will give a rip if they're entirely empty?

My go-to budget way to liven up a room is to use plants. They take up space and add movement. Bring the room alive.

Also, you'll need a couple of lamps. A lamp for the desk, a floor lamp towards the corner, and perhaps a table lamp where you have the sculpture right now.

There ought to be a bigger margin around the orange artwork that's to the left of the window. I would choose something taller as well.

I would put a fairly large art piece on the empty wall that currently has a cupboard with the sculpture. If budget is an issue, find a poster you like and put it in a nice frame. Change the picture later.

If that's the edge of a coffee table, I think I'd choose something lighter and airier to go with the room. Glass top so you can see a nice rug underneath?

Thanks all for your suggestion. So I am in sales so all I need for work is essentially my computer which I use with the monitor and the desk. Not sure I really want to buy a new desk to place in front of window as the space where the monitor is lots of space. I do spend a lot of time on the phone which I end up walking around the room. I do like having a big comfy chair in the room because I do also sit there when on conference calls rather then at the desk. I am fine to clear off the shelves as most of my work is in the storage closets on either side of the desk. What though do I put on the shelves?

On shelves u can place your office clips in a jar, office books,extra paper,staple, radio, basket of snacks, kleenexes, water bottle, other important items. If desk is in middle of room, what about the cords?

I can move the shelves in the desk area. I think I will look at moving the one shelf above the monitor either up or taking one shelf out. I do have two closets either side of the desk for storage. I could have some stuff out but that is one thing the room does not lack is storage.

A shout out to Houzz, thank you for my notifications are finally back!! Yay!!

If u like plants a tall plant at window or corner. Use 3m hooks if u need to hang clipboard or anything. Put your vase on the leaf cabinet.

I took the one shelf out over the computer monitor and I like the space better already. So now I only have two shelves. The one above the monitor I am going to add some office organizers such as magazine holders Etc. I also think a nice lamp and a different Office chair.

There is stick on bulletin if u want. That looks better.

Karen Ullman - maybe I missed it - has anyone asked what kind of work you do in your home office?
