While churning out financial reports, marketing strategies, and the like from our kitchen tables and even our beds during the coronavirus pandemic — i.e., working at home — we take pause to meander through sophisticated, well-planned home offices. Rooms in which desks are desks, lighting is carefully orchestrated, and designers have had a hand in the creativity.

This visual walk through home office focuses primarily on the contemporary but includes more traditional while inspiring options for the pre-planned work space. These do not represent the current dining-room-table makeshift-home-office trend, but rather home offices with serious design elements.
