How to get things done, inside your closet!
Have you seem our latest post on corporate interior design link? Since we have been thinking and talking about office design, we thought; hey, let’s talk about home offices that fit inside a closet! There are actually quite a few examples for closets that fit inside a closet, since home office are usually only needed occasionally and don’t take up much spaces. Fitting them inside closets seems to be the perfect solutions!
In this week’s episode; Hsiang and Guido talks about how to setup the perfect Dream Office Closet!
Now in case you have forgotten, this is after all, the Dream Closet Project! So we aren’t willing to accept just any plain old home office stuffed in a closet! We have standards around here! As experienced office designer, we will talk about some tips for creating a closet based home office that will not only work well, but will also look the part for the budding entrepreneur that you know you are!
The way should be… Or why they never are!!
So this is the image in your head, organized, relaxed and feeling good. But why is it that you felt like you are constantly looking over your shoulder? Right, because you are facing a blank wall and stuck inside a closet! Is there a better way?

What not to do and why you need eyes on the back of your head!
Haven’t all the old western taught us not to sit with our back to a door? Well, there are something in common between cowboys and Feng Shui masters after all..
Isle seating, as in; you are sitting in the isle!
Even if you are the only one there, being in the path of travel is never a good thing. Being the restless traveler is fine but not while you’re trying to concentrate!
Next, every thing has a place, a place for… your legs?
Organization, it is doubly important since we are dealing with the constant chaos of work and inside a confine space, we have potential for an explosive situation! Organization, we can not emphasis its importance, especially for the closet office.
We then move onto; our model Dream Closet Office, some one got it right for once!
Our favorite, we aren’t grumpy all the time after all!

Now just having it all in the right place isn’t enough..
We admit it, we are tough on our criteria.. Only the best for our reader and we are sticking to it! We want soul in your design, it needs to speak to us, it needs to provide warmth and a welcome place where effective and productive work can be conducted. If it ain’t nice nobody’s gonna use it!

And to balance our flowery closet office, we found just the opposite style for you. Remember, find your Design Totem (check out our search at a flea market) and use it as a guide to find your unique theme. In this instance the unique wall lamp, drove the point home.

I am planning on doing this to one of my little-used closets soon. Only one problem… electricity. How do you get all your electronics to be plugged in when they are in a closet? Closets never have wall sockets.
I plan on leaving the doors on my closet so I can close off the office when I need to. I have accordion style doors. There is a plug about 3 feet from the door. I want my PC, speaker system, Printer, etc. to all be able to be plugged in and not be an eyesore or hinder the door closing.
What are your three best solutions?
I’d really love an email back with your answer.
Thanks!
