The IKEA-Hacked, Slim Storage Workspace

The MacBook Air Workstation

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 ?

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 ?

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 ?

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

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.
