15 DIY Desk Ideas to Turn Any Room Into a Home Office

Controversial opinion, perhaps, but someone needs to break it to Virginia Woolf: You don't need a room of one's own to achieve work-from-home success; you just need a desk. And while we'd all love to enjoy the spacial luxury she did, even those with a spare room for studying, emailing, taking meetings, getting creative, or strategizing know that the real key to productivity is having a surface space to work on (i.e. a desk). If you have to make do with working in an unused bedroom or living room corner—or you're trying to figure out how to make your eat-in kitchen or dining room moonlight as an office—you're in luck. We scoured the best designer portfolios to come up with 15 DIY desk and home office ideas that will allow you to turn any room into an ace workspace. From clever repurposing ideas to easy DIY tips, the makeshift desks ahead get the job done.
