If these small office space design tips weren't enough for you, here's more:

Use corners.
Corners can be big home office space wasters if you don't maximize them. Capture these areas. Consider using a corner space of your home office with which to place your desk. You'll be surprised at the kind of space you'll be able to open up. You can then use the rest as your reception, storage, display or extra work spaces.

Consider foldaway desks.
If you use a desk only for writing or designing, why not buy or have someone fabricate a desk that can be attached to the wall using hinges? That way, you can fold it next to the wall when not in use and simply unfold it when you need to begin working.

Prioritize equipment and supplies.
Do you truly need all those storage drawers in your home office? Maybe you can use the garage as some sort of storage area for old files and folders. If you're trying to save space in a small home office, consider keeping only the most current and important equipment and supplies in the area. Keep the rest in a separate location.

Use color and lighting tricks.
Color and lighting can do wonders for tricking the eye. Use a light color of your choice to open up space. Or if your preferred color is darker, use a complementary lighter color to provide an accent. Use natural and ambient lighting to create an illusion of a comfortable (but small space) home office. If you can, use two or three layers of light effects with the use of wall or floor lamps, overhead lamps and desk lighting.
