In this article, we will explore 10 IKEA office ideas that are perfect for small and large spaces, and provide you with inspiration and guidance on how to create your perfect workspace.

Why Ikea Office Furniture?

I often find myself gravitating towards IKEA when I need office furniture. There are several reasons why IKEA is a great choice for office furniture:

* Inexpensive: IKEA offers a wide range of office furniture at affordable prices, making it a great option for those on a budget.
* Stylish: IKEA office furniture is not only budget-friendly but also stylish and modern, making it a great fit for any home office.
* Modular: IKEA office furniture is designed to be modular, making it easy to mix and match pieces to create a customized workspace.
* Easy to hack: IKEA office furniture is easy to hack and modify to fit your specific needs, making it a great choice for those who want to add a personal touch to their workspace.

10 IKEA Office Ideas to Inspire You

Here are 10 IKEA office ideas that are perfect for small and large spaces:

1. My Ikea Corner Office

When I created this IKEA home office, I never imagined how popular it would be. With just a few brackets from Home Depot, we were able to hack the IKEA pieces to create a customized corner office. The result is a stylish and functional workspace that is perfect for small spaces.

2. Long Ikea Alex Desk With Multiple Workstations

This Ikea Alex desk with multiple workstations is perfect for shared home offices or distance-learning spaces. By building an extra-long desk top to go with the Alex drawer units from IKEA, we were able to create a more custom look. The result is a functional and stylish workspace that is perfect for small spaces.

3. Closet Office

What do you do when you don’t have room for a workspace? Transform an under-used closet into a closet office or “cloffice.” This Ikea Alex drawer unit is the perfect piece of furniture for a small closet office, and can be hacked and modified to fit your specific needs.

4. DIY Floating Desks

The desk itself isn’t from IKEA, but all the Kvissle and Skadis wall organizers are! If you just need a small workspace for a laptop or a child’s bedroom, this is a great space-saving and inexpensive DIY desk option to consider.
