Eight Amazing Workspaces

With the internet as an integral part of nearly every company's workday, more and more employees are being allowed some work-from-home privileges. Still others run businesses out of their homes. Who said working from home had to be boring? We found a collection of home offices that exemplify creativity and break free of the 'white-walls-and-beige-carpets' mold.

This one-walled home office takes a nice approach, with clean white shelves and splashes of earth-toned color. Selective lighting emphasizes various items on the shelving.

2. Forever Commuting?

8. No Man is an Island...

...at least not with a strong WiFi signal! This "workspace" in Melbourne, Australia emphasizes the "get out of the office" lifestyle that so many employees struggle to attain. Sometimes, simple rules -- here, with just a chair, up-ended trash-can-as-end-table and small bench.
