Workspace of the Week: Tidy twofer
This week’s Workspace of the Week is Seahill’s two-person office:
It isn’t easy to share an office with someone (I know, I do it), and it is even more difficult to keep a shared space clean and tidy. What I like about this office is that it is apparent two people use the desks on a regular basis and keep it orderly. If you study the images, you’ll see a number of great ideas for organizing an office. Also, be sure to check out the additional photos in the flickr set. Thank you, Seahill, for the submission.

Workspace of the Week: Well-lit office
This week’s Workspace of the Week is Moundbaby123’s sky-lit office retreat:
This week’s entry includes a place for everything. The simple lines combine with the natural lighting make it conducive to productive work. I also like the built-in bookshelf in the reading area. I’m not fond of the desk chair, but that could easily be swapped out for a more ergonomic option. Thank you, Moundbaby123, for your submission to our flickr pool.

Workspace of the Week: Stylish simplicity
This week’s Workspace of the Week is Sadida’s simplified space:
One of the reasons I love this office is its cable containment. A single wrapped cord leading from the desk to the outlet is a thing of beauty. I also like the shelf that sits behind the monitor and holds what looks like a scanner or printer. The “simplify” sign is calming, too. This office features the basics, and not a lot else — which is wonderfully minimalistic. Thank you, Sadida, for your submission to our flickr group.

Workspace of the Week: Multi-functioning clothing and office closet
This week’s Workspace of the Week is Willy Volk’s closet office:
I want to start by saying that I know this isn’t the most uncluttered office we’ve ever featured, but it is unusually practical and deserves to be highlighted. What intrigues me the most about this space is that it’s an office in a closet — a closet that is still being used to hold clothes. The space between the two walls of rods is used to its fullest potential with the storage bins, shelf, and office desk. It even looks like there are computer speakers hanging from the ceiling. The curtains at the door to the closet help the entire space disappear from the room when not in use. It’s a great use of space, and I’m thankful Willy Volk shared this office with us. (The three pull-out pictures are pretty fun, too.)

Workspace of the Week: A place for everything
This week’s Workspace of the Week is GayleRB’s home office and craft area:
In the photo description in our flickr pool, GayleRB says that her area is “not completely clutter-free, but I’m getting there!” Okay, sure, there are a few things that could find homes, but for the most part I am extremely impressed with this space. She has a lot — and I mean a MASSIVE amount — of scrapbooking and craft supplies, and all of the supplies are contained. Additionally, her office area is organized and effective at tackling all of her home office needs. I look at this space and know that it is used, and used well. Like she said, it might not be completely free of clutter, but it is definitely a highly useful and organized space. Thank you, GayleRB, for sharing your home office with us!

Workspace of the Week: The ottoman office
This week’s Workspace of the Week is Bullismaureen’s super secret space:
I think that this is one of those instances when the pictures say more than any words I could provide. Thank you, Bullismaureen, for such an outrageously cool submission to our flickr pool.

Workspace of the Week: A makeshift space
This week’s Workspace of the Week is Stuart’s Emergency Workspace:
This is one of the most fun entries I have ever seen in the Unclutterer flickr pool, and it was calling out to be shared. When Stuart was moving to Arizona, he had to pack up all of his furniture and ship it across the country. Unfortunately for Stuart, he still had time left in his old place before he made the move. Out of necessity, he built a makeshift office to sustain him until he traveled to his new home. This emergency office is proof that you don’t need much to create an uncluttered office. Granted, nothing matches and it’s a little crazy — but WOW is it resourceful and simple! Thank you, Stuart, for sharing your emergency office with us.

Workspace of the Week: Simple beauty
This week’s Workspace of the Week is Jacob’s small space solution:
If you live in a small space, then finding a way to integrate an office into your home can be a very difficult task. I love Jacob’s design decision to keep everything to a limited color palette in this open floor plan. The office blends into the room, and the plant acts as a very simple separator of purposes. Additionally, there is no clutter, which makes it even more pleasant. Thank you, Jacob, for sharing your space with us. It is truly gorgeous.

Workspace of the Week: The active office
This week’s Workspace of the Week is Spurfer’s treadmill office:
This is definitely the most unusual office I have seen in the Unclutterer flickr pool — and certainly the most healthy! The laptop holder is ingenious, and the storage drawers and shredder at the foot of the treadmill make it into a full office space. It takes multi-tasking to a whole new level. Thank you, Spurfer, for sharing your office with us!

Workspace of the Week: A garage transformation
This week’s Workspace of the Week is Gently Organized’s new office, which used to be her garage:
Reader Gently Organized recently remodeled her garage and turned it into a spacious home office. What used to be the overhead door to her single-car garage is now a glass door that looks out onto her garden. The desks and overhead cabinets appear to be Ikea pieces and the file cabinets and storage units below the desk look like Elfa products. Looking at another image of the room you can see a fantastic magazine rack, storage boxes behind the frosted glass, and room for her to work with clients:
Thank you, Gently Organized, for submitting your inspiring space to our flickr group.

Workspace of the Week: Dorm room diligence
This week’s Workspace of the Week is Xeraphine’s collegiate corner:
Keeping a desk in a dorm room in an uncluttered state is difficult work, even for the most organized of students. Reader Xeraphine keeps this Yale University space well maintained and efficient. The wireless keyboard gets rid of cord clutter, the dual purpose task lighting and pen cup saves space, and the sliding shelf provides storage for notebooks and paper. To the right of the desk is a printer and stand with four drawers (I imagine Xeraphine’s books are kept in the drawers). Recently, Xeraphine added a DIY cardboard computer stand that hides cables and props up the computer. Thank you, Xeraphine, for sharing your inspiring dorm room office with us.

Workspace of the Week: Simple secretary
This week’s Workspace of the Week is Brave Little Soul’s classic secretary:
I like this office because when it’s not in use, only the chair proclaims that the space is used for work. All office supplies are contained in the cabinet next to the desk, and the computer and printer rest inside the fold-up desk. When work is done, the office disappears. Additionally, the desk itself is free of clutter and provides optimal workspace for its user. This setup is serene and inviting — I would love to work here.

Workspace of the Week: X-ray back light desk
This week’s Workspace of the Week is Commonhumans’ illuminated desk:
Light on –
Light off –
This week I’m going to let the owner of this office tell the story:
This is my home made x-ray light desk. My Dad and I made it from an old wall hanging x-ray back light that I found at a university surplus store. All we had to do was buy some wall brackets and mount it perpendicular to the wall and now I use it as a light table rather than an x-ray viewer! The light table really helps when I need to do tracing for graphic or interior design, every designer/illustrator should have one. I recently painted the wall to make my desk pop and now my work station is clean and complete! If you are wondering where store all of my stuff, I have a one drawer filing cabinet and a few storage boxes in my closet, most of my work is on the computer to reduce clutter.

Workspace of the Week: A standup job
This week’s Workspace of the Week is Camflan’s standup desk:
I wish that the picture were a little better quality, because I fear that it doesn’t do this setup justice. For starters, the desk was built by Camflan and his grandfather and the work surface is 44″ high. The thing is, though, that its user is 6′7″ tall and so the top monitor is right at his line of vision. The desk also can easily be used by someone much shorter who can look at the lower laptop monitor. The top of the desk is glass and its user writes on it with dry-erase markers. The setup is simple and perfect for its user. It’s an impressive homemade solution.

Workspace of the Week: Blissful in birch
This week’s Workspace of the Week is PHOTOinformal’s custom home office:
I chose this week’s Workspace of the Week because of its feeling of tranquility. The desk was made by PHOTOinformal’s husband out of birch plywood with a maple trim and to her specifications. All books, supplies, and even the printer have a home in this office. Additionally, baskets and stacked suitcases (under the desk) provide contained storage. The floor is tiled and the office is separated from the rest of the room with the placement of a throw rug. There is a place for everything, and everything is in its place.
