Home office is not a place where you store your books and put a learning table, but that in which you can be productive and would like to learn or be immersed. You see these three pictures. Even you don’t have a home office like them, they could still encourage you to clean your table and creat atmosphere of learning. So how to make your little space that you take as home office more beautiful and comfortable?

1 Declutter: Take an inventory of your home office. How much of the contents of your space are used continually? How much of it has been sitting for weeks, months… maybe years?! Before moving on to any other step, declutter. Determine what office supplies you need, for all the others give away, or use in another room in your home – like your kid’s rooms!

2 Clean: This tip is accurate for any room or space you are in. When your environment is clean, so is your mind to be creative and productive. If you have trash, old newspapers, and 100 magazine subscriptions cluttering your desk, clean it up!

3 Prioritize: Figure out what items in your office are used for your activity in the office.  If a television is in your office, but you look at it, more than working than it’s time to remove it.  Kid’s toys and the dog’s brush shouldn’t be in your office space.  When you start using the space for more than its intended use, you will do that activity before you work.

4 Organize: Now that you’ve successfully done the first few tips, it’s time to organize your remaining space. Divide your room into zones. 1 – Storage: Items that can go in a closet, such as office supplies, and rarely used reference materials. 2 – Desk Items: Only the bare necessities, pens/pencils, computer, stapler and tape. Everything else needs a home inside of a desk drawer to prevent a cluttered desk. 3 – Display: For books, and magazines use organizers that go on a bookshelf.  These organizers can group them together, and be reached in a moment. A few pictures and mementos can be used to personalize your space.

5 Light: If your home office is dark, figure out the culprit. Open up windows, buy different window treatments, or bring in lighting fixtures that will brighten your space. When you can see clearly you are more likely to stay in that space. Also make sure there is good ventilation and temperature control. If you are too hot, or cold, you will quickly want to leave your office.

1 Add a rod. Looking for extra storage space in your closet. If you have the type of closet with two walls for hanging clothes, on one wall hang a rod at head height for long clothing (dresses, pants, etc.). On the other wall, hang two rods–one above the other–for shorter clothing (shirts, skirts, blazers, etc.) In other words, you’re not restricted to only one clothing rod.

2 Install shelves. Most shelves can be moved up-a-notch or down-a-notch. If you have three inches of space above your linens, you may consider adjusting the shelf so the shelf below it has more space. Or, perhaps you can add another shelf in between. Plastic, multiple level shelves are wonderful for kitchen cabinets. And corner shelves are great for picture frames, knick knacks and other small treasures.

3 Use storage units. Storage units, which can be picked up from housewares or hardware stores, are great space savers. Your spices can be removed from drawers and placed on a spice rack. There are racks for canned goods that, when a can is taken from it, the next can in line rolls forward. Some of these hold over 40 cans! Ice cube trays are inexpensive storage containers for smaller items such as earrings. There are coffee tables on the market with storage space hidden inside. Under bed containers are perfect for storing quilts and linens. Be creative and make use of these great tools!

4 Don’t forget about wall space. Look around and you’re sure to find quite a bit of empty wall space. There are many uses for this new-found space. Pots and pans can be taken out of cabinets and hung on walls. Tools can be placed on pegboards. Shelves can be installed for picture frames and knick knacks. Many stores now carry corner shelves that can be installed in a snap.

5 Put frequently used items with arms reach. Whenever possible, store regularly used items where you use them most. Recently, my husband created a toilet paper holder on the back of our bathroom cabinet door, with a small dowel, 2 nails and 2 loops of rope. It holds three rolls of toilet paper, and it’s right near the area it’s needed most. You shouldn’t have to walk from one room to another to retrieve items you use every day. Store linens in the bedroom. Store videos near the television. If you use the scissors in the office area and in the sewing room, have two pairs of scissors, one in each room.

6 Add a drawer or sliding shelf. Many hardware and housewares stores carry drawers that can be installed underneath a cabinet. These are great if you have a home with limited drawer space. In addition, you can also install shelves under cabinets that slide out when you need them, and slide back in when you’re finished with them.

7 Keep your desk clear. A clear desk is directly related to your productivity. You will get more done, if you’re not constantly under a pile of papers and files. A sturdy, full-suspension filing cabinet is a must for any home or office. Portable file boxes that hold hanging file folders also come in handy. There are plenty of storage choices for CD-roms and diskettes. Desk supplies belong in an on-the-desk caddy or in trays inside your desk.

8 Rearrange. Everyone is different, and has different needs. Make your home or office work for you. One woman I know told me she never uses her dining room, not even when she has company over. And she had no intention of ever using it since her kitchen was big and elegant enough. She also said she hated her dark basement office. So, I suggested she rearrange a bit, and turn her dining room into her office. And that is exactly what she did. So think about your surroundings and make them work for you, even if they seem a little out of the ordinary.

9 Rotate. You may have many items you love in your home or office, but not enough space. Rotate them. In other words, keep some things in storage for a month or two and display some of your things. Then, once that time is up, make the switch. The items on display go into storage; the items in storage go on display. What a neat idea!

There are many different types of home lamps depending on what might appeal to a person’s personal tastes or what might fit into their budget.  Interior lighting is frequently used in the home to provide ambience or just to improve visual effects.  Contemporary lamps can accommodate any need while at the same time be useful accessories for one’s enjoyment. They range in price from quite inexpensive custom designs all the way to expensive Tiffany lamps.

Start the process of purchasing home lamps by deciding in which rooms you will be placing a lamp in and what type of lighting you desire.  The style of the lamp is also important because it has to match your current home décor.  Some lighting fixtures are installed into the ceiling, like track lighting, wall lights, recessed lights, chandeliers and sconces, while floor lamps, desk lamps, or table lamp can be moved around and rearranged like any other piece of furniture in your home.

Whatever lamp style or size you choose might not be sufficient to light a room. Therefore consider hanging lamps or chandeliers which are good methods of illumination.   If you enjoy more ambient lighting, then you should consider purchasing a table lamp, but if you are interested in illuminating a dark spot in a particular room, a contemporary floor lamp is great.  Floor lamps can be a nice focal point all by themselves (consider a touché lamp).  If space is an issue, consider some wall lamps or wall sconces. They still provide excellent lighting and do not require much space.  And they can even be considered as pieces of art!  Hanging lamps also do not take up any space but can still bring the desired elegance to your room.

If you prefer modern décor, you should spend some time researching what types of  contemporary lamps are available locally or online.  It would be helpful if you go through interior design magazines, or ask a friend that has good taste when it comes to interior design.  Remember, lighting can make a personal statement and contribute to a room’s overall feel.

Creating an inviting environment just might be as simple as installing some strategically placed lamps.  Don’t forget to read the installation guidelines and call an electrician or handyman if needed.  Shopping for just the right lamp can be an adventure, and finding it will make your home decorating a success.

Tables and chairs that could save much space and not at the cost of size may be the favourites of more and more people. Here the set of table and chairs can be one choice of you if you are people like that. They can be used at home or for commercial places as well.

They are named “Community”  that is from More Design for MyYour and having a lot of visual flair when opened and your curiosity when closed. MyYour has a very interesting collection of progressive modern furniture for those who live way outside the box.

Green Kitchen
Italian marble tops the kitchen’s custom cabinetry, while salvaged Victorian corbels serve as distinctive brackets for the Viking stove’s hood. An industrial steel stool gives the otherwise neutral room a jolt of bright color.

Easy-to-Access Cabinets
With limited space for upper cabinets, deep, easy-to-access drawers help maximize storage. The charcoal Vermont Soapstone countertop and slate floor complement blue-and-white decor.

Turquoise Kitchen
Turquoise was a popular hue in the ’50s. When redesigning the kitchen, the homeowner took cues from old ’50s wares such as Pyrex bowls and printed tablecloths. She diverted from her softer palette and paired turquoise with red.

Plate Rack
Opening up this area allows the addition of a storage-filled peninsula. Topped with a butcher block, the peninsula is a handy spot for prepping. It also serves as a gathering place when having company over. A plate rack gives easy access to dishes and mugs that were out of immediate reach before. A pendant light directly overhead provides the necessary task lighting.

New Is Old Again
A new kitchen is made old through old cabinets, like this one that now holds the kitchen sink.

It is a triangle shaped dining table, different from traditional shapes of rectangular, round or square. So I say it is much suitable for a family of three that every one of you could occupy one corner. It will not be a crowd or looks lonely. This morden dining table, made of mahogany, is healthful and has a smooth surface which gives you a comfortable dining enviroment.

The design of this dining room is also great. White chair, pale brown carpet, cristal droplight and clean curtain of low color,  all looks simple and clear. You can take it for your reference when preparing home decors for your house.

1. Wine Rack
Use a can opener to remove the tops and the bottoms of multiple cans (here, 12). Spray-paint the outside of each. When they’re dry, glue them together with a strong adhesive (like Krazy Glue) in an artful, balanced way. (Binder clips can steady the cans until they’re dry.)

2. Votive Holder
Use a can piercer (the triangular end of a bottle opener) to punch holes in the sides of an empty can. Insert a votive and let the light shine through.

3. Paint Bucket
Pour that “Calypso Blue” in a can for slosh-free transport during touch-ups.

4. Plant Guards
Slide cans (with both ends removed) over garden seedlings to protect them from the elements.

5. Reader Tip: Puppy Trainer
Try filling a can with change and shaking it to distract your new puppy from mischief.

6. Reader Tip: Twine Storage
Poke a hole in the plastic lid and run the twine end through to keep a ball tangle-free.

On seeing this writing desk, I doubt how could it keep balance when books or file folders are put in the cubical grib, although it looks much functional. Well, I should believe the design of professional designer, so do you. I like the decline on the right, which I think could prevent your pens or other small things slip off the writing desk. As the books or other things are not at the same plane as writing or reading area, it seems you have a very clean desk with not too much sundries piled on your writing desk. It also looks funny, doesn’t it?

It is called ‘Arc Desk’, maybe for its bent planes. Only seeing it from the third picture, you must be surprised how it stands steady. From the first two, you can find the answer. A drawer, hidden behind a facade, is designed for you to put away something, and the most important function is to defy gravity. Wonderful work created by Turkish designer Aziz Sariyer.
