Fill a Wall With Floating Shelves

Paint a Chalkboard Calendar
For a functional backdrop, coat an empty wall with a layer of chalk paint and then divide it until it resembles a calendar. At the start of the month, fill in any important deadlines or events, and then add to it as the weeks pass.

Mount a Desk to the Wall
If you can't reserve an entire room for your office space, simply install a fold-down desk to an empty corner of the wall. Dress up the space just like you would a traditional office with a task lamp, greenery and other productivity boosters.

Make a Desk Out of Two Dressers
If you're starting from scratch, take a slab of plywood and connect it to a pair of matching dressers. Unlike standard desks, the deep dresser drawers give you plenty of space to hide craft supplies, school books and tech accessories.

Mix Supplies With Decor
With a pegboard backdrop, you can customize your office to store supplies, hang decorations or a mix of both. But if you want to make the most out of your space, attach wire baskets, shelves, and cup holders before you go all out with decor.

Push Accessories Off to One Side
Every desk needs a lamp, a pencil cup, and a knickknack or two, but keeping everything strewn across your desktop makes it difficult to get to work. Make sure there's a clear space to keep your computer and plenty of empty desk space to write and spread out.
