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!
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.
