How to create an office corner in the living room

Creating an office corner in the living room could be the ideal solution for those who do not have a separate space to use for this purpose.

In this article we will provide you with some interesting hints and tips on how to create an office space for smart working in your living room.

Office desk corner design

Many people today turn to the professional advice of architects for the design of a desk office corner, inside the living room spaces. The requests for projects for a study corner in the living room are almost constant, especially for singles and couples living in small flats in big Italian cities.

New habits and sometimes particularly limited spaces require the adoption of new furnishing solutions and ideas capable of making the most of the square metres available in the home.

Today the new buildings are built following new perspectives aimed at a modern reorganization of the corners of the house. Families tend to choose more and more the living formula of the three-room apartment composed of kitchen and living room in open space, two bedrooms with one or two bathrooms.

In the traditional houses built during the 60s and 70s, a study area was often designed and built; in the modern three-room apartments, however, a reserved environment used as a study is totally unthinkable and inconceivable.

The only solution could be to temporarily transform a bedroom into a studio; however, this solution becomes unthinkable if you live in a three-room apartment and there are children.

Peninsula desk for office corner

Among the most common projects for the creation of an office corner in the living room or living area, there is the preparation of a peninsula desk through the use of table tops that can be customized in colour and style.

A desk does not necessarily need to have four legs; in fact, it is possible to fix the furniture to the wall, optimising the space available and offering ample flexibility to your environment.

In this regard, it is possible to purchase and prepare a desk in your living area that can harmoniously match and integrate with the furnishing context of a living room.

Office corner desk equipped with pc

If you have the necessary space to set up a traditional desk in your living area, you can dedicate a corner of the study top to electronic devices such as a PC or tablet.

In this case, our advice is to opt for a desk with a cable hole and cable cover, to avoid clutter and keep your work area tidy and presentable, as you are in your living room space. In our catalogue of office desks you will find various modern and design solutions that can be perfectly integrated into the living area, such as the Hamilton desk model, entirely made of tempered glass with two shelves. In addition, thanks to its small size it is the perfect solution for confined spaces.

Study corner with suspended computer station

A modern alternative for the creation of a work corner in the home is the provision of a suspended computer station; using the modules of an equipped wall it is possible to obtain a study corner from a shelf with backrests to protect the wall and upper shelves.

The suspended computer workstation is an ingenious intuition to optimise the spaces of particularly limited living spaces.

Study corner with integrated computer and television cabinet

Another solution for the creation of a study corner is represented by a project involving a computer integrated with the television cabinet. Also in this case it is an idea particularly suitable to optimize the space of a particularly small living room.

Each modular equipped wall that can be defined as such, will include modules designed to create an area used as a study/workspace, characterised by the presence of a computer.

In this regard, it will be possible to set up computer shelves on the equipped wall, so as to create a station complete with storage units and a small bookcase.

Angolo studio con libreria e PC

Study corner with library and computer station

A modern and modular bookcase represents the ideal solution to integrate all the functions you are looking for in a single piece of furniture to be prepared in the living room space.

A modular bookcase can be easily converted to a wall mounted television stand or alternatively integrated into a small desk or desk, perfect for creating a work station.

Study corner in a niche

Sometimes in the living room spaces there are niches, spaces that often you can't understand how to use. An innovative idea could be represented by the arrangement of some shelves and a made-to-measure wall cupboard, in order to create a small study area within the living area, even with an open kitchen.

Console study corner behind the sofa

In many living rooms the sofa is placed in the centre of the room: the furniture is used to separate the living area from the kitchen, or alternatively to delimit a particular passage area or entrance. In this furnishing context it will be possible to place a console behind the back of the sofa.

The console can then be completed with a chair or a pouf, considering the space available. Considering the depth of the cabinet, you can set up a fixed PC or alternatively a laptop.

For this solution, the ideal choice is certainly represented by the preparation of a custom-made console, both in terms of width and height, so as to perfectly respect the proportions of the sofa. Next to the console you can also decide to prepare a plan, or a lamp.

Study corner with extendable or fixed console table

A standard console is characterised by measurements between 35 and 50 centimetres. On the market there are many models that differ in the materials used for the realization and above all in the style. An extensible console can instead be deeper than a fixed console, since these furnishings contain extensions and integrated mechanisms. This type of console is particularly simple in its shape but is often adorned with very special design legs.

This type of furniture has become particularly common in recent years in contemporary homes and in particular the transformable and extendable consoles. The main advantage of this solution is represented by the possibility to use this furniture as a beauty element when it will not be used for study and work, transforming it into a desk with computer, only when necessary.

All the consoles in our catalogue can be extended and customised. They are ideal for every space requirement. Consolle Danila, thanks to its geometric and elegant lines and dimensions, 95x47 cm extendable up to 299cm is the optimal solution for those who want 2 pieces of furniture in one.

Refined desk with pc corner

And again we propose another solution to create a particularly refined work studio corner. This solution is particularly suitable for those who are lucky enough to have a discreet space in their living room.

If in your living area there is an area dedicated to the bookcase, you can set up a particularly well-kept and refined and why not, modern and design desk in this area to define your technological and avant-garde work study area.
