As the price of real estate and leasing climbs up, the need to have a small workplace arises. Small offices mean a smaller square footage but you can do many things to make a small office look welcoming and open. Let’s break some traditional rules to create a workspace that represents you. 
Big or Small:We are always told that big items are a NO NO for a small area. This is not necessarily true. You can use one big piece in your office by cutting down on the rest of the big items. Let’s say you like a big cushy chair for your workstation. So in that case use a table that is not the focal point and big so that you can accommodate the cushy chairs that is comfortable to sit all day.
Cheer Up:When choosing a colour for a small office neutral or whites are the way to go, but don’t be afraid to use a bit of bright color here and there as an accent or in accessories. Or if you want you can always go with a white on the walls with a slight hint of a brighter color like below.
Disappearing Act:Adding furniture to a small office can be a bit of a challenge. This requires lot of planning and picking the right pieces. Flip and floating desks are a great solution for such areas as well as a small work surface with a mobile under desk with 2 big drawers and a filing drawer. One or two savvy demountable pieces can also do the trick.
General Pattern:We are all afraid to use pattern in a small office but if you use anything in moderation it shouldn’t look busy. You can use a small pattern or a combination of a few patterns as long as they blend together to creates a consistency. If you use the tints and shades of the same colour with a mix of some neutral or lighter colour that should be fine.
Be Bold:You don’t always have to have a focal point in a room; be bold and break some traditional rules. All you need to make sure in a small office is that every piece kind of blends and harmonizes with the rest of the items of the room and nothing sticks out otherwise it will make the room even smaller. Every piece should be a continuation of the other. In this case a desk with a built in over cabinet with sliding door or a storage cabinet on the side to hide some winter coats would be a good idea.
No matter what you do just remember that you don’t have to sacrifice your style for a small space. A small office which is customized, well designed and user friendly will help you to get on with your work. You will feel more confident you will bring some fun and you will enjoy working in a space that represents you.
