With all the lovely photos of home offices surfacing lately via Pinterest and the blogosphere I can't help but wish I had a little desk nook in my apartment. This is quite impractical since I work in operations and can't really bring my work home with me (don't get me wrong, this is certainly a perk) but some of these spaces are just so lovely! Here are a few at the top of my squeak list:
Unfortunately for me, no design classes are offered over the summer. Come fall I'm back to being a part-time student and I just might have to make this dream into a reality. Here are the essentials for my ideal home office:
Your turn! What do you think of the offices I chose? What would your ideal office include?

I love the large windows that let in plenty of natural light. I can just imagine looking out onto a beautiful landscape and losing myself when in need of a little inspiration. And did you notice that clock? How adorable!

Clean yet cozy, this office has plenty of storage to the left that is kept nice and organized with color-coordinated boxes and binders. Not to mention that transparent globe is to die for!

A black wall is one of the ultimate dramatics in a home. It looks amazing in this office and really lets the art and books stand out. I could totally be inspired sitting here.

I saved my favorite for last. The setup is super convenient and I love the color scheme, brought together in every way, including the ceiling!
Unfortunately for me, no design classes are offered over the summer. Come fall I'm back to being a part-time student and I just might have to make this dream into a reality. Here are the essentials for my ideal home office:
- Comfy chair - If I'm going to be working I need an incentive to stay put!
- Inspiration board - A home office is a perfect place to corral all the things you love and hope to accomplish.
- Clean slate - I'm not one for clutter so I like to keep a neat and orderly desktop to do my best work.
- Plenty of storage - No matter what it is you need an office for, there are tons of random items that go into a finished product so using pretty binders and boxes helps to camouflage all the clutter.
- Books - Not only can they make for interesting decoration, but who doesn't love to read?! Perfect to have them close at hand in case you're looking for information, a distraction, or even some inspiration.
- Window - I love windows. I'm talking really, really love them. There's nothing a little sunshine and a peek outdoors can't cure so I always like to work near a window or door in case I feel like getting lost in thought for a little. In fact, if it's my dream office I'd take a skylight while I'm at it!
Your turn! What do you think of the offices I chose? What would your ideal office include?
