My office closet inspiration

I’m moving my office in to a closet!

As I have mentioned before in another post, I’m more than ready to move my makeshift office out of the breakfast/kitchen area to a place where I can leave everything in it’s place when I’m not working and close it off from view at the same time. I will soon be converting a utility closet in to my office closet.

I want a office closet that can be closed off and the messy desk unseen by guests. But I also want it close by and readily available whenever I get a few minutes of inspiration to work.

I have this utility closet close to the kitchen and back entrance that is perfect for an office closet conversion.

This is the closet I’m taking over. A small, but functional utility closet near the back entrance to our home. In a former life it must have been used for something else because this closet not only has it’s own lighting but also has electricity. It’s a win win situation and the perfect closet to convert to my home office space.

I decided to take over this closet when my puppy, Shiloh, kept stealing important items off my desk in the kitchen table nook and chewing them up. After paying over $100 for tickets that the band boosters could not sell for an event, I needed to find a place to work and a place to hide my stuff.

I have always loved seeing other people’s inspiration to turn a closet into workable office spaces and for inspiration for my own small office I turned to the many ideas on Pinterest. Below are just a few of the closet makeovers I would love represent in my own space.

Not only do I love the blue color, but definitely like the use of the inside of the doors.

Very clean lines and uncluttered looking.

My favorite part of this one is all of the creative storage options used.

My final design may try to use a little of each one of these. You have got to just love all of the wonderful ideas to be found on Pinterest! Tomorrow I will post sketches of how my own design for the office closet is shaping up.

My goal is to create not only a functional space but to use as many things I already have for the best low cost options. So come back tomorrow for the first look at the first sketches!
