We know how precious space is these days, and you readers have come up with some of the best solutions for small space living--just flipping through last year's Smallest Coolest contest is evidence enough. When we spotted this home office tucked away in a corner nook, we felt compelled to share. Instead of using a bulky desk with all the extras (drawers, side units, etc.); this home office utilizes its high ceilings to its advantage. By installing floating shelves up the wall, this office expands its storage capacity.

Ha, I actually just did the same thing with a very awkward nook in my bedroom last month! It is working out incredibly well so far!
I'm all about maximizing the nook.
That one could almost have a door attached and be used as a pantry.
Or a curtain, to be used as a pantry, or a cozy chair and a little table (or shelf!) for a cup of tea. But this is really nice... I'm always happy when I can find furniture that fits a space just right. Likewise, finding a piece of wall art for a narrow space.
Nooks too small for human habitation can hold pet beds.
That is a cute nook, but just because it has a table, shelves and a chair does not make it a "home office". It's a decorator nook!
lovely use of the space.
i want to do this! have the perfect little nook. how do you install floating shelves like this that can hold any amount of weight? (bonus points if said installation method works on a plaster back wall, and drywall side walls...)
the rough little desk DOES it

It's cute, but no one does any work there. I think I'd rather have shelves to the floor, and work near the windows.
