40 of The Coolest Home Offices for Creatives (2015 Edition) By Laura Busche Laura Busche on May 2, 2016 in Inspiration Tweet This Share This For those of us who work at home, there is no better feeling than having a creative workspace of our own. A place where we can collect inspiration and bring it to life without the drab setup of a typical cubicle. For some that means bringing in moodboards, proper lighting and wall decor. For others though, the project of creating a home office goes far beyond the practical: it's a design challenge on its own. These 40 incredibly creative spaces will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about home offices: This is minimalistic to me 😂 More pics on le blog ~ www.kreativ-i-tetblogg.com #office #homeoffice #kontor #hjemmekontor #nibutfordringen #interiør #interior #rom123 #boligpluss #kkliving #boligmagasinet #ssevjen #casachicks1 #nordiskehjem #interior4all #interior2you #interior123 #interiorwarrior #inredning #unitedbloggers #nyttblogginnlegg #newblogpost #kreativitetblogg #annenetageinteriør @annenetage_interior #asafotoninspo #interiorrabbit #finahem #workspace #workspacie A photo posted by Ann Merete - KREATIV-I-TET (@annmeretes) on Jun 10, 2015 at 10:48am PDT A photo posted by Paloma Lopes (@blogdapaloma) on Aug 14, 2015 at 5:14am PDT A photo posted by Interior Designer For Children (@littledwellings) on Jul 13, 2015 at 4:34pm PDT A photo posted by Grace Bonney (@designsponge) on Jun 30, 2015 at 11:51am PDT A photo posted by Andrea Foltran Interiores (@andreafoltraninteriores) on Jul 6, 2015 at 1:04pm PDT A photo posted by my scandinavian home (@myscandinavianhome) on Aug 13, 2015 at 7:07am PDT A photo posted by The Everygirl (@theeverygirl_) on Jul 17, 2015 at 9:10am PDT A photo posted by The Everygirl (@theeverygirl_) on Jul 2, 2015 at 6:11am PDT A photo posted by Glitter Guide (@glitterguide) on Apr 21, 2015 at 7:34am PDT A photo posted by Glitter Guide (@glitterguide) on Jul 8, 2015 at 11:31am PDT A photo posted by Ashley Brooke (@ashleybrookedesigns) on Jun 26, 2015 at 1:41pm PDT A photo posted by Where Women Create Magazine (@wherewomencreate) on Aug 14, 2015 at 6:46am PDT A photo posted by Kristin Morgan (@goldprojectblog) on May 14, 2015 at 1:19pm PDT A photo posted by Whitney Blake (@whitv) on Dec 18, 2014 at 6:20am PST A photo posted by Glitter Guide (@glitterguide) on Apr 21, 2015 at 10:06pm PDT A photo posted by Deirdre Luzzi (@deirdreluz) on Aug 14, 2015 at 8:41am PDT A photo posted by Caroline Harper Knapp (@houseofharper) on Jun 8, 2015 at 6:00am PDT A photo posted by Anahata Katkin (@anahatakatkin) on Aug 14, 2015 at 8:36am PDT A photo posted by Where Women Create Magazine (@wherewomencreate) on Jul 8, 2015 at 9:51pm PDT A photo posted by Where Women Create Magazine (@wherewomencreate) on Nov 20, 2014 at 9:42am PST A photo posted by Be Inspired PR (@beinspiredpr) on Apr 24, 2015 at 4:56pm PDT A photo posted by Sayeh, The Office Stylist (@officestylist) on May 20, 2015 at 9:24am PDT A photo posted by Sayeh, The Office Stylist (@officestylist) on Nov 10, 2014 at 11:44am PST A photo posted by Sayeh, The Office Stylist (@officestylist) on Oct 21, 2014 at 1:26pm PDT A photo posted by Sayeh, The Office Stylist (@officestylist) on Jul 28, 2014 at 1:19pm PDT OK, we know.

Mehmet Reha Tugcu I wouldn't last an hour on some of those tiny metal/wooden chairs. And how do people work with all that sun glare on their screens! Aug 17, 2015
Rob Brink I always enjoy seeing other creatives home offices but a little disappointed there wasn't a variety of home offices. Seems like its all targeted towards women creatives. Aug 17, 2015
Aksel Larsen My office at work is super messy and my home office is also super messy and i can not find my things if there are clean up. and if i use time on cleaning up all the time. I have less time to be creative. also i am more creative in a messy environment. I am the only one there are that way :) ? but like @Rob Brink i always enjoy seeing other creatives peoples home offices Aug 17, 2015
Jerome Collinge Some of these are really nice, love the thought that's been put into them ! Aug 17, 2015
Bill Mawhinney Super nice & very feminine work spaces. I'm still working on creating an office/work area I'd actually want to photograph!! Aug 17, 2015
Jan Vermette I find them kind of boring! No colour, no inspiration, nothing to make you feel like jumping in and getting the flow going! White on white is like looking at a blank screen, or a blank piece of paper. Aug 17, 2015
Beth Rufener Staff Great roundup! I'm super inspired by this studio as well: http://seanwes.com/about/ and that of Jessica Hische. I love to see studios where people hang up their own art as decorations. Aug 18, 2015
The Queen Creates I enjoy looking at other office and studio spaces as well. Although many these spaces did seem to be almost too pretty. Here is a blog post with a roundup of some more work spaces that may not look so perfectly designed and clean. http://thealteredpage.blogspot.com/2015/08/a-look-back-studio-table.html Aug 18, 2015
Jenn Palandro Snap, why are these all Instagram photos? My Pinterest trigger-finger was itching the whole time. Aug 18, 2015
dtjb They almost all look the same - whites/pastels, uncomfortable chairs, and hardly a sign of work getting done. Where's the swatches, the boards, the sketches...heck, half of these don't even have computers in them. This is how interior designers stage a scene for a photo shoot, not how offices *actually* look. (also these are all super feminine, there are plenty of us male creatives out there) Aug 21, 2015
Phil Velikan no one works in any of these. LOL! Do a list of functional creative offices not HGTV home offices for paying bills. Sep 2, 2015
Lina Chervenkova They all look so lovely but I'll be afraid to mess them up :) I like Katie Daisy's work place: https://www.facebook.com/113238522027566/photos/a.153054021379349.34274.113238522027566/1184830101535064/?type=3 Oct 1, 2015
Luke Elrod Haha - those seem to me a little non-functional for creatives. Cutesy, but not practical. Jan 27, 2016
Brad Byram I like some of the choices here, but I have to echo the other comments... pretty but not practical. Where is the correct lighting for when the sun goes down? Where are the chairs that are built for marathon creating sessions? Would love to see some practical and real creative spaces! Jan 27, 2016
Jennifer B. Love looking at others' cool set ups. I finally have a home office of my own that I adore. Now if only I could fix how easily distracted I get... Jan 27, 2016
Sean Burdick Was looking forward to this post as I am a work-from-home web designer and starting to build an office space for myself, but this seems to be geared towards fashion bloggers. Where's the multi-screen setups? Jan 27, 2016
Jidoe Yikes. These are mostly impractical, inefficient and downright unhealthy "work" spaces. As a professional graphic designer / art director, I would go insane trying to get anything done in most of these home offices. 2 tips from me: invest in a good chair and give yourself plenty of space to work. Jan 27, 2016
tjf.odland I'm redesigning my office and was excited to scroll this article for inspiration - super disappointed. While the majority of these workspaces are beautifully staged and magazine ready - hardly one of them was actually functional... so frozen and rigid, like you can almost see the dust collecting on a space that's never actually used. Where's the sprawling surface space for working, the storage for tools and supplies, the activity, the mess of creative chaos? I'm sorry, I've got too much going on to hide it all in a laptop and hairpin desk. Jan 27, 2016
Amanda Quintana-Bowles I have to echo the comments here. I'm in the process of re-thinking my home office to be more beautiful while still being practical. These ideas are pretty, but perhaps only one or two actually look like working spaces. Perhaps the next edition will include a different variety? Jan 28, 2016
DrTheopolis These are just staged office dioramas from places like apartmenttherapy.com. And the large format/flip clock mac screensaver is a trope that needs to end. Mar 1, 2016
joe rozsa Cool spaces no question. But I'm going to be that 99% aren't really worked in. As much as I like to keep my studio clean and neat... even when it's clean and neat, it looks nothing those. These remind me of the "living room" that never gets used. May 31, 2016
airecare I'd like to see some studios that combine both an area for computers and painting. I use my computers for illustration and balance it with my 'dessert in life' which is oil painting. Jan 5, 2017
jeff dean why repost articles from a year and half ago on your facebook page like they are new? 90% are units from ikea. meh. Jan 9, 2017
