I love working from home: it’s comfortable, private, you can exercise in the morning and watch TV in the afternoon, and you’re never interrupted.
Working from home allows you to work whenever and wherever you choose. You can even work from your bedroom if you wish to! There’s no doubt that it is convenient. And I certainly enjoy this working environment.
What I enjoy even more is decorating my home’s interiors. Decorating the rooms in the right manner can be a complete game-changer. I don’t know about you, but the prospect of uplifting a place is something that brings me immense joy.
COVID forced us all into a work-from-home situation. So, coupled with my need to make the best out of available space compulsively, I chose to revamp my bedroom and turn it into a functional office. I had some moments of doubts during the makeover, but everything turned out well in the end.
This experiment taught me a lot of things. And that is why I am writing this article – to help you convert your bedroom into an office. I know from experience that the most challenging part is the start.
Where do you even begin? What can you do? What can you not do?
So, here are over 65 ideas for you to take inspiration from. Use them and fit them into your situation. I am sure you’ll find a brilliant bedroom office idea in this list.
But before we begin, let me take you over a few basics.
Why Use A Bedroom Office
Bedroom offices are all about finding functional and stylish pieces of furniture that fit your space. If you have space, say, an extra bedroom at home, you can convert it into a cool home office. It can be a great place to meet clients, discuss business, and complete work-related tasks – if that’s what job/business revolves around.
Design and layout are more critical than usual for a bedroom home office. You don’t want to let the office space overtake your living area, so search for pieces that can fit both areas. Choosing versatile options can help you here.
With that out of the way, let’s begin!
#1. Corner Workspace For A Small Bedroom
For those who have small bedrooms, your go-to option would be setting up a corner workspace. In any corner of your room, pair a desk with a chair, and your home office is all set! With some shelves attached to the wall, you can keep your work desk away from clutter.
#2. Bedroom Office For The Plant Lover
If you’re a plant lover, use a parallel plant stand. You can use the lower rack as your work desk and the other shelves as your plant home. Be it a workspace or a bedroom, when you bring in the goodness of greens, it adds life to the place.
#3. Open-wardrobe Bedroom Office
If your bedroom has a rarely used part of an open wardrobe, turn it into a workspace. This way, you can set up a bedroom office without occupying extra space. As you see, you can store books or essentials in the nearby cabinet for easy access.
#4. Divider-shelf Bedroom Office
When you have a master bedroom, you hardly use the entire room, don’t you? In that case, use the room divider shelves to create an isolated workspace inside the bedroom. Of course, you are then accessible to large storage units as well.
#5. Open-shelf Bedroom Office
I’m sure that there will be an unused wall in every bedroom. If you spot yours, set up a sizable open-shelf unit along it. This works both as a workspace and a bedroom showcase unit. An open-shelf unit of rust and copper combination tops the trend.
#6. Shelf-only Set Up For Bedroom Office
Will you believe me if I say you don’t need a desk to set up your workspace? Yes, that’s possible with a Shelf-only setup. Attach a shelf stand to the desired wall in your bedroom. Use the last shelf as a workspace and the rest as needed.
#7. Bedroom Office With Large Desk Space
If you’re a person like me, who loves to have a large desk space, this is your fix. Fit a single wooden plank along the adjacent walls of a bedroom. You can consider attaching shelves along with the sidewall and storage cabinets beneath the plank. Voilà, it’s ready!
#8. Modular Desk Space For Bedroom Office
When you have scant space in your bedroom for a desk to occupy, try using the wall-mounted folding desk. You can unfold it to use as a workspace and fold it to use as a storage unit. That’s why it’s rightly called Modular Desk Space.
#9. Bedroom Office For Art Enthusiasts
If you’re an art enthusiast, I will ask you not to use the wall shelves. Instead, use storage cabinets. By doing so, you can use the wall to make an art gallery. With your favorite art collection lying around, your bedroom office will be your happy place!
#10. Vivid And Vibrant Bedroom Office
Sometimes you don’t need fancy furniture or smart decors to set up a bedroom office. A simple pair of desks and chairs will do. But all it takes is a pop of color to spice up the game. Paint the desired wall with colors that resonate with you. Yay, you’ve made a vivid and vibrant workspace!
#11. Budget-friendly Bedroom Office
If wooden furniture doesn’t fit your budget to set up a bedroom office, I’d suggest you choose steel. Because you can buy steel furniture at an affordable price yet make your workspace look elite. For easy access, categorize and store your essentials within the different open cabinets.
#12. Bedroom Office For A Sloped Low Ceiling
If your bedroom has a low-sloped ceiling, I have an excellent idea for you. Right below the lower roof is a perfect place for you to set up a bedroom office. With a pair of desks and chairs, your workspace is up for a mission.
#13. Bedroom Office For Black And Rose Gold Lover
If you’re a black and rose gold lover, consider pairing up a black chair with rose gold wall decors. Additionally, you can make it up for a black open shelving unit to match the vibe. Wall frames can be of the desired type.
#14. Window Workspace In A Cozy Bedroom
If you love window seats during travel, make sure you try this out. Set the workspace in front of your bedroom window. Let all the light come in to brighten up your day. If needed, you can fix the wall shelves on both sides of the window for storage purposes.
#15. L-shaped Desk Space For Bedroom Office
For those who don’t like to fit in any corner of a bedroom, you will enjoy this spacious L-shaped desk space. This comes with detachable storage shelves. With the large desk space, you can replace separate storage cabinets. Moreover, the detachable shelf allows you to define your storage space as you prefer. Isn’t that a cool option?
#16. Jute Decorated Bedroom Office
If you wish to decorate your bedroom office, go for Jute decor. A chair, a desk, and a few Jute products will be your ideal deal. As shown, you can use a Jute storage seater as well. Get your hands on Jute products once. I’m sure you’re not going to leave it any soon.
#17. Bedroom Office With Divider Wall Strip
If you’ve ever dreamt of having a separate workspace inside your bedroom, this is for you! Combine your bedroom and workspace using an elegant Divider Wall Strip. Because the wall strip doesn’t interrupt the natural light coming in. Then comes the traditional role of a chair and a desk!
#18. Minimal Yet Chic Bedroom Office Setup
Not everyone likes the magnificent setup, some like minimal. With them in mind, I’m sharing this minimal yet chic bedroom office setup. No room for extra shelves or cabinets for a minimal configuration, I’d say. The side-closed desk and a comfy chair will do it all.
#19. Bedroom Office Design For Top-floor Apartment
If you’re living in a top-floor apartment, your bedroom must have fixed glass windows, right? Then pull a chair and desk along the window side. Place the table lantern over the desk. Your workspace is made ready! Don’t you miss the incredible view, okay?
#20. Wooden Bedroom Office
How about a wooden bedroom office? All you need to do is to wood-furnish your bedroom. Pair a wooden desk space with wooden shelves or cabinets because you can’t afford to miss the rustic mood the wooden color brings into your bedroom.
#21. Bedroom Office Design For Studio Apartment
In-studio apartments, you will find many splendid interior divisions inside the house. You can choose a division that suits your vibe to set up a bedroom office. Did I tell you that Teal is a new style statement?

If you mind the space that a desk occupies in your bedroom, In-built shelving is your savior! It allows you to have a room for both a workspace and bedroom. Pair it up with a comfy chair and your happy color. With this, you’ve set an elite bedroom office afloat.
#23. Girly Bedroom Office Setup
For a girly home office, pretty little things serve the purpose. If you visit an online store, you’ll find different indoor plant pots, cute pinky showpieces, and whatnot! Grab your favs that fill the space with elegance. A jute flower chair and some pop of colors will add beauty to the workspace. Isn’t that a pretty setup?
#24. Smart Bedroom Office With All-in-one Desk
If you’re a lazy person, I know you hate even getting up from your seat, haha!. Don’t worry. You’ll get everything within your reach with this all-in-one desk. It comes with storage units, grommet cable holes, open shelves, and large desk space. Now tell me, do you need to move your seat anymore?
#25. Bedroom Office In A Spare Room
We all might have a spare bedroom in our house that we hardly use. If you have one, make it your workspace. Here, you have plenty of room to keep multiple storage units or shelvings. You can place your desk space wherever you want. When you have access to a large area, the ambiance feels different.
#26. Tiny Bedroom Going To Office With Corner Desk
For tiny bedroom owners, having a separate place to work is crucial. In this case, you can use a corner desk in any corner of your room to set up a workspace. With a good chair paired up, you’ve made a tiny bedroom office.
#27. Bedroom Office For Working Partners
If you have a partner who shares the room and works with you, this is for you both. Choose your favorite wall and fix 3-4 long wooden planks along the wall. To store books or showcase showpieces, you can use this large workspace for anything you wish.
#28. Bedroom Office With Ladder Shelf
If you don’t like loading your wall with shelf or storage units, you must try this ladder shelf. This will change the entire look of the standard chair and desk workspace. Mount this ladder shelf to the sidewall nearing your workspace. This way, you can use the front wall to hang your wordy frames.
#29. Bedroom Office With Sliding Door
Standard dividers can’t help a Baby Mom/Dad looking after the newborn alongside their work. This is when the glass sliding door comes to play. Through this, you can work peacefully while keeping an eye on your sleeping doll. Didn’t I save your day?
#30. Bedroom Office For Bookworms Or Authors
If you’re an author or a bookworm, I know that a home library will be your dream goal. You can make your dream come true with this mini-library setup. With the center place kept for desk space, you can use the entire bookstand as your workspace. Ready to stock more books?
#31. Bedroom Office Beneath The Bedroom
As far as I know, this is a brilliant option for anyone who wants an unusual yet unique bedroom office design. You should avail a bunker cot to recreate this model. You can set up your desk space between the bed columns on one side and storage cabinets on the other side. When you feel sleepy, take the ladder to reach your destination, haha!
#32. Elegant And Straightforward Bedroom Office For Night Workers
If you’re a night worker, limit the bedroom office setup to a simple chair and a desk because a comfy one will put you to sleep. Use study lamps in case your partner sleeps nearby. This will allow minimal light to your workspace without disturbing him/her. Welcome some plant babies to your workspace, and you’re not alone!
#33. Bedroom-balcony Office Setup
If your bedroom has a beautiful balcony, why not make it your new workspace? Think of experiencing the beauty of nature and working alongside ( Oh, heavenly!) Now, grab a chair and desk and set up the workspace. You’re not going to miss this, promise me!
#34. Against-the-wall Bedroom Office
I’d recommend this for those who don’t like to set up a workspace facing the wall. Use a single broad wall strip as shown to use as a work desk. You can also use the supporting pillar as a storage cabinet.
#35. The Wooden Corner
We can make this setup near a window where you can enjoy the sunlight and look at nature. Creating space within your desk to rest your feet can keep you relaxed. Having carpet flooring can give it a homely effect while keeping you occupied in your daily work.

Having extra space in the corner of your room and near a window can be perfect for installing your office work area. Using a stand with many shelves can help you stay organized. Keep your chair facing towards the wall to help you focus while you work.
#39. Small Size Fits All
Ever felt certain spots in your room are empty and boring? Put in a small work desk with a couple of drawers that can also be used as a store away for books, work-related stuff, valuable items that hold memories, etc. Add to it a comfy cushion chair, and you can relax while you work.
#40. Work While Being Warm
Working during winters can be a tough job as the cold gets into your head. Use empty areas near your fireplace to build a workplace that keeps you comfortable and busy. You can also use a soft cushioned armchair when relaxing to have a casual read and take in the warmth.
