Unused Space? Squeeze in a Home Office

Room for It All

The cornerstones of a productive office are desk space, storage, lighting, and comfort. With a little ingenuity, homeowner Candace Schlosser managed to fit all four into a seldom-used pantry.

First, she placed a desk near the window to ensure good lighting. Bookcases get cluttered in a hurry, so Candace organized them with labeled boxes, folders, and baskets. Finally, she made the space more comfortable by adding a cushioned seat and back to the wooden office chair.
