Whether your taste leans towards a minimalist approach or more eclectic style, here are the most popular featured workspaces of 2012 to get your ideas flowing.
Plenty of Color and Lots of Personality: The Offices of Shopify
Work can be a lot more fun when your office inspires it, and that's certainly the case with Shopify. They took an ordinary series of workspaces and made them awesome with just the right amount of personality. More ?
The IKEA-Hacked, Slim Storage Workspace
When you buy a desk at IKEA, you don't have to settle for what they offer. Most of their furniture can be hacked and customized to your needs if you can figure out a way to do it yourself. More ?
The Command Center Workspace
Today's featured workspace places the desk with multiple monitors front and center in the home office. From this central location, everything is within view and reach of IBM engineer and entrepreneur Daniel Heth Moran. More ?
The Dual-OS, Multi-Monitor Workspace
When you can't choose between Windows and OS X, don't. Reader and Flickr user abe5x didn't, showing us a workspace featuring multiple machines hooked up to several monitors. More ?
The MacBook Air Workstation
Many of our featured workspaces are filled with complex cable management schemes, several monitors, and plenty of other gadgets. Flickr user Matthew Pearce found that all he needed for his home workspace was a MacBook Air, an attractive stand, and a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard to get things done. More ?
A Simple, Portable, Inexpensive Standing Desk Solution
There are plenty of standing desk options that you can build yourself, but most require a commitment and aren't terribly easy to move around. Reader Kelley Chambers put together a simple IKEA hack to make a portable standing desk on the cheap. More ?
The Classic, Retro Workspace
Today's featured workspace is clean and roomy, with a beautiful light wooden desk, some neat accessories, and good old GTD implementation. Lifehacker reader Tyler Brainerd uses an Ikea feet and shelf trick to raise his two Samsung monitors above the restored Marantz receiver and pull-out box. More ?
A Computer in a Leather Recliner: A Compact and Comfortable Workspace
It's not often that you can use the word "badass" to describe a workspace, but there's hardly a more appropriate word for this computer desk that stores the computer in a hand-crafted side table and attaches the peripherals to a leather recliner. More ?
Hidden Behind the Wall: A Secret Workspace
Even if you have a beautiful workspace, it may clutter up the landscape of a connecting room. Nexus Designs decided to solve that problem by hiding this workspace behind a moveable wall. More ?
The Designer's Dream Workspace
Today's featured workspace belongs to a designer in Paris. Although he has a lot of drool-worthy hardware on his large, beautiful desk, there's still room for art toys to add some personalization and style without cluttering up his workspace. More ?
The Most Minimal Workspace
A lot of things can clutter up a desk, and large workspaces don't fit into every home. Flickr user nevermindtheend put together a workspace that's about as minimal as it gets. More ?
Swing Out Panels and Towering Storage: The Pipe Dream Workspace
DIY desks are some of the best, and Simplified Building Concepts' pipe-based workstation is no exception. Using pipes and pipe fittings, they created an incredibly versatile workstation with a wonderful industrial aesthetic. More ?

The Simple Wooden Tokyo Home Office
Natural light, beautiful wood, and simple minimalistic design only seems to turn out well for a workspace, and such is the case with Flickr user Fat Jaiii's apartment in Tokyo. More ?
The Gridded Home Office
You may be familiar with the Grid System as a handy framework for designers, but graphic designers Tom and Melissa used it to create an awesome wall in their home office. More ?
Well-Lit and Spacious: An Unusual Basement Workspace
Typical basements are cramped, dark dungeons you wouldn't want to work in, but today's featured workspace is the opposite of that. It's bright, organized, and roomier than most above-ground home offices even. More ?
A Bedroom That Doubles as a Home Office for Two
Not every home has room for an office, and often times a home office means giving up room for another practical space. Creative director and filmmaker Garret Murray decided to turn his master bedroom into an office for him and his wife plus a space for guests, to put the large room to good use. More ?
The Upper Deck Workspace: A Cool, Lofted Office
Today's featured workspace is a loft within a home with enormous floor-to-ceiling space. This lofted home office, suspended above a living room, has ample room for a large monitor, task lighting, and storage on the side. More ?
The Lofted Workspace
When you don't have a lot of space to work with, build up. That's what Flickr user chemb0t does here with his lofted setup. Now he's got room for a U-shaped desk (with one soldering/electronics station), three 27-inch monitors, and a place to sleep. More ?
The Evolving Workspace
Today's featured workspace has changed a lot over the years, moving from a massive multi-screen setup to a neater, yet still productive workspace.
