Although we hate it, sometimes bringing work home is inevitable. When the occasion arises, it is nice to have a space to sit and completely dive into the tasks at hand. Be prepared for these times by converting a small area in your kitchen into a mini office. These ingenious ideas will save you space around your home yet be fully functional when needed.
One desk idea, The Convertible, is set up in the kitchen. Situated at the end of the counter, there is a space for a chair and plenty of room to set up a laptop and a few notebooks. For the kitchen, it can be standing area to punch your dough or make pasta. Two birds, one stone.
A second idea is to have a cabinet in your kitchen open onto the counter. Not only can the space inside the cabinet be used for cookbooks and storage, but outlets can be put inside the space. This way, your laptop can charge, and your papers will be away from the mess of the kitchen.
