Home Offices To Envy

Reporting live from my Chicago apartment, Happy Monday! I’m here in my living room, which is also my kitchen… and guest bedroom (complete with futon). *Sigh*

Okay, so a home office has never been a necessity quite like it is now. If you have one, you’re golden. If you don’t, your family, roommates, or pets are interrupting your video calls and you’re eating five meals a day, two that you call “snacks”.

There’s something important about having a space set apart for your job. Those of you that do are majorly privileged right now, so the rest of us are going to envy you. Fair warning.

Without further ado, let’s take a look at some cool home offices I’m jealous of right now.

The Cozy Corner

Soft colors, a throw blanket, and a balcony for coffee breaks, I’m not asking for much. This would be perfect, perhaps only lacking a popcorn machine so I don’t have to leave for food. Who wouldn’t want to work here?

The “I’ll Pencil You In” Station

This office says, “Don’t bother me. I’m busy,” like no other. Sitting behind that desk makes you look important and preoccupied. Your kids would totally know not to bother you and would, of course, knock politely before entering. Sounds like my kind of setup (except for keeping my cats away). Need me for something? I’ll pencil you in my schedule.

It’s Five-O’Clock Somewhere

A couple of desks large enough for computer monitors, a fan for fending off the Florida heat, and minimal distractions all will help you stay on task. Why would you want to complete work quickly here? Because, if you look carefully, you’ll see out the doorway is the ocean and probably some Margarita mixer. Every day can be Fri-yay here.

The Mod-fice

Modern office?… Okay, I tried. But you see where I was going: contemporary furniture, clean layout, and exposed brick that warms it all up. This design is forward and functional. With the right amount of caffeine, I would be well-equipped here to get some serious work done.

MTV Cribs

Rich, extravagant, and some might even say profligate, I assure you I’d get no work done here. A typical day might look like re-watching Tiger King on that 70-inch flat-screen, ordering Jimmy John’s to see how freaky fast they can get to the 54th floor, and having a VHT Platinum Photoshoot of my cats in those royally gold chairs.

Okay, home offices, yes? Once a luxury, now an inarguable necessity for your new lifestyle that exists entirely in your house. Working from home used to be a dream, a legend only seasoned colleagues told, a joke in passing to the breakroom. Now it is verging on a nightmare.

A warped spine, needy offspring, and a gripping docuseries about people who pimp out tigers are all inhibiting you from getting work done. The solution I propose: start building your home office one gold chair at a time.
