If your office work at home is limited to tasks like checking email, paying bills and filing paperwork, a small desk in a kitchen nook or bedroom is probably all you need.

These home office inspiration photos show each of these areas to help you get started thinking about your own space. And you’ll see some home offices that are designed for getting down to business.
