10 perfect home office nooks

By  | 

Slowly we’re moving away from the designated study room and heading towards a shared space that keeps us close to our family and friends. And I for one are cheering about it! The study nook is a less formal space that can still offer the benefits of a traditional study yet is much smaller and compact. Not only are study nooks a great way to maximise space, they are more open and keep you closer to your family and friends.

Your study space is no longer a place just to grind through the to-do list, it’s a haven to inspire you to kick work and life goals. If you have a free space of say a metre by a metre, this could be the perfect fit! Keep scrolling to see my top 10 office nooks.

It’s not the size of the nook but how you use it. Make all aspects of your room user friendly by creating a floor to wall pin board.

Being organised goes hand in hand with a study nook and should work in harmony with one another. A grid board is a fun, quirky way of displaying items like a calendar and to-do list.

Finally, make your study nook a creative and uplifting space you want to work in. There’s no denying we don’t always want to do our work or life duties, but at least you will feel inspired with an Instagram worthy set up.
