How would you combine an office and a closet?

Asked by JLeslie (65994points) 10 hours ago

I’m planning to use a bedroom in my house as a combination closet, office, and crafting room, because the closet in the master is ridiculously small. I rarely work at my desk, but I have a lot of office supplies and files.

About 6 drawers of files and 5’X8’ of supplies and books, and needing space for my printer too. I do very little crafting, it is more wrapping paper, some regifts, fabric, and a sewing machine that usually in its box.

Would you have the clothes hanging for all to see or closed cabinetry? If money was no object, what do you think you would do? Money is an object though, I am not going to spend $10,000 on a dressing room that looks like an expensive boutique.

I thought about getting an adjustable height table that I can use as a desk or folding table. Or, maybe just a small desk for work stuff and the folding area be like a dresser with drawers for storage.

The room is 11X13 feet more or less. There is a typical wall closet in the room, I think it is 5 feet wide. I could maybe use the existing closet for the office supplies, or try to get most of my clothing in there, or use it for all of the crafting stuff.

What do you think would be the most functional or the best looking or hopefully both. I really can’t decide what I want where. Looking for fun and useful ideas.
