Half the allure of modern work is a gorgeous office – wide, open-paned, light – a great space for thinking. Why would your home workspace be any different? These twenty-five inspiring workspaces can open your mind and your options, creating a view to look forward to each morning. Designed within space restrictions or as part of a bedroom, these examples from across the world have white space in mind. Think light, think airy, think IKEA. Think pops of colour that add focal points to clean spaces. Think functionality, drawers and ladders, workspaces that are both well-thought-out and daring. Find inspiration and clear the mind with these beautifully-productive workspace designs.
Clear, white ceilings allow bubblegum red and ocean blue to dramatically border this minimalistic office design. The stylish desk chair you see here is the Eames Molded Plastic Armchair.
French windows and clean spaces highlight tiered pot plants, fur-laden chairs and woollen crop-ring mats in this fresh-looking workspace. Rather than a standard desk lamp, this creative setup uses a designer table lamp instead.
Two-roomed workspaces can create depth through mirroring similar elements. Square black bookcases frame the inner room and outer walls, with hanging glass lights and ornaments adding personality.
Two angles of a room show how different shapes give different effects. White, rectangular spaces are peopled with colourful books and finished with a skylight.
Long, corridor-spaces can act as an office too, as this stone floor and mahogany-desked workspace shows. The bookcase creates both space and interest. Pastel green swivel chairs add color to the setup.

An artist’s workspace has different needs. Canvases can fit in the corner of this workspace, where monochrome inspiration fills the walls and white and wood creates breathing space.
A background feature can play a central part in integrating a room’s elements. Stencilled birdcages and shelving are crucial to a seemingly standard design. The gorgeous modern swivel chair you see here is the About A Chair by Hay.
A pop of colour with a lemon cabinet transforms office staples into supporting characters, for artistic play. You can see the attention to detail that has gone here – check out the unique trash can.
