IKEA furniture can do a great job of illustrating one of our key principles — merging great design with accessible practicality. It's also just so dang versatile. Dress it up with elegant accessories, play it minimal and dramatic, or get creative and eclectic. I rounded up IKEA home offices in each of our new decor styles to provide a little inspiration.
IKEA's home furnishings offers many ways to inject one's own personality - credit that to simple, no-frills design that can be mixed, matched, and hacked to the limits of your creativity. Click each of the style categories for more decor style inspiration.

i like the last one bc it's super cluttered. welcome to my office life.
i believe i am leaning towards Eclectic collector....although, to my hubby, it just looks like a plain ole mess....
Where is the desk in the 4th picture from? It's exactly what i've been looking for.
@Dulcibella I believe that's the Parsons Desk from West Elm
Wowie, what's that chair in the first picture?
I like how you're categorizing style type more often now. It helps a design schizophrenic like me narrow down my personal style. Good job, AT.
I'm liking the dramatic modern. I love big work surfaces, good for spreading projects out. And it's good for the back to switch chairs during the day.
Nice to see a few offices that actually have paper and a bit of work clutter around them. That's much closer to real life!
I had a couple of ones I really like but when all was said and done I was drawn to #4: Tradtional Modern; the colors; the simple organization.. "A place for everything and everything it its place"
If I had the sq footage (I live in a small apartment) I would copy this style exactly as it is...the style and colors were the first one I was immidiately drawn towards!!! Oh to have just a bit more space and a spouse who would be just a bit more cooperative....about sharing space.
PS: I realize 900 sq feet really is no too bad; however we just moved here from 2400 sq feet;(that we owned) so been a bit of adjustment.
This is Janice from @DesignByIKEA. Thanks for showing such great personalized style using IKEA products! We love when people show us how they use our stuff in creative ways.
Well, there's what I wanna be, which is Classic Glam. But what I really am is more like Eclectic Collector.
I hate to be this person but the first image is from a Lucky Mag a few years ago and the desk isn't from Ikea, though that is an Expedit the homeowner used to separate her living and sleeping areas.
Ignore my previous comment! My thumbnails were out of order!
Let's not forget that hack that AT posted just a couple days ago -- it was so good.

What great ideas!
I really wish someone would answer the very important question: where is that gorgeous mustard chair from? (first picture) MUST.HAVE! :)
