Personalize your workspace with a colorful, vibrant style

Does your home office need to fit into a small, awkward space? Here are some great ideas for putting together a colorful, compact area for work, studies, hobbies, and play – a flexible focus zone corner that fits both your budget and personal style.

A corner with a window and a small workspace with a MITTPLAN desk, an office chair, open shelving, and storage on castors.

A simple setup that works for all the things you do

The solution to every small space problem is to find functional furniture that fits right into the available area while being easy on the eye.

Start off with a quality desk like MITTPLAN that makes your focus zone look modern and fab. It’s small, airy, and easy to place. Visually, it melts in with the rest of your room without becoming the main focal point.
The soft shapes of this gray SMÖRKULL office chair with armrests balances the desk’s straight lines and takes care of your back when sitting for hours.
Apart from being a good light source for all your activities, the super-affordable FLOTTILJ desk lamp has a modern look and takes up little desk space.

Why the room works so well

Go wild with colors without painting
Do you love color but live in a white, generic, no-painting-allowed apartment? The solution is to add color with furniture, fabrics, wall art, deco accents, and everyday items.

Create a fail-proof color palette
Use favorite posters and patterns to put together the color scheme for your furniture, cushion covers, curtains, deco objects and more. In this room, we’ve combined the pastels and primary colors from these images to achieve a vibrant, happy look with a personal touch. Don’t forget to bring your color palette with you when shopping – hues are hard to remember!

Let your personality shine
Put up feel-good photos and inspiring artwork around your workspace, and surround yourself with a few carefully chosen items that you use all the time and that give you positive energy.

No tools? No problem.
With ALFTA adhesive hooks, putting up hooks for frames is a breeze – no tools required. In most cases (depending on your wall surface), you can also remove them in an instant, leaving no marks.

Same room, very different mood

When living in a small space, every area needs to work around the clock. The beauty of the MITTPLAN desk is that it’s sturdy enough for work, hobbies and play while giving off an easy-going vibe. A multicolored VATTENSTEN LED strip instantly brings a magical glow and sets the scene for video chats with friends, movie nights, or showing off your nail polish artistry.
