These 10 Ikea office ideas are perfect and budget-friendly solutions if you need to work from home, whether you have a large or small space!

10 Ikea Home Offices: collage of 4 different home offices featuring Ikea desk hacks, Skadis pegboard, Alex drawer Units, Kvissle file sorters, and more.

I’m on a home office kick, and since the kids needed a distance-learning space for school this year, I got to design and set up another Ikea office/ desk over the Summer.

Why Ikea Office Furniture?

I often gravitate toward Ikea when I need office furniture. Why? It’s inexpensive, stylish, and modular. It’s also easy to make some tweaks to the Ikea pieces to make them fit your space perfectly.

Plus, I love that they make so many inexpensive storage pieces- from bookcases, to file cabinets, to pegboards. I usually end up supplementing with a few things from other retailers, but it usually starts with a few simple pieces from Ikea.

If you don’t have an Ikea near you, here’s a list of my favorite inexpensive desks for home offices. These are all available online in 2021!

1. My Ikea corner office

When I created this Ikea home office for my growing business, I never imagined how popular it would be. You can see more pictures and all the details of how we hacked it with just a few brackets from Home Depot below!

2. Long Ikea-Hacked Desk With Multiple Workstations

This one isn’t technically an office- I actually designed it to be a distance-learning desk for the kids, with a chair in the center for me.

But it would work just as well as a shared home office. By building an extra-long desk top to go with the drawer units from Ikea, we were able to create a more custom look. If it was going to have just two workstations, I would add a third drawer unit in the center.

You can see all the details of how we put this together and shop the space below.

3. Closet Office

What should you do if you don’t have room for a workspace? Transform an under-used closet into a closet office or “cloffice.”

Peter’s desk has been in the TV room closet for several years. I gave it a fun makeover a few months ago- back when we all thought we would just be quarantined for a few more weeks!

4. DIY Foating Desks

The desks themselves aren’t from Ikea, but all the wall organizers are! If you just need a small workspace for a laptop or a child’s bedroom, this is a great space-saving and inexpensive DIY desk option to consider! You can see how we built them below.

5. Modern Alex Drawer Unit Makeover

Medina from Grillo Designs gave an Alex drawer unit from Ikea a super-chic modern makeover! Check out her post to see how she did it!

6. Ikea Drawers With Fun New Legs!

My friend Stephanie, from Casa Watkins Living created this stunning office in her basement. It’s full of Ikea pieces, and I’m especially loving her Alex drawer unit hack!

I love the dramatic modern Ikea cabinetry in this office from Love Create Celebrate.

7. Ikea-hack Office Nook Under the Stairs

I love this creative small-space office nook under the stairs by Medina of Grillo Designs. It’s perfect for a kid’s or teen’s room or any tight space.

I hope this gives you some great ideas for your own workspace!
