Sometimes the best home offices are hidden behind closet doors. Get inspired by these clever workspaces.

Searching for a quiet place to focus on work at home, many have turned to their closets. This has given rise to the term “cloffice,” from “closet office.” See 11 examples of how to turn a closet, cupboard or other storage space into a comfy cloffice.

1. Open for Business

We don’t know where these stunning doors in a Paris apartment once led. But one thing is clear: The black-painted niche, with its shelves and generously proportioned desk, makes a smart and stylish workspace.

2. Work Corner

This petite petrol-blue space has an advantage over home offices in a shared room: When the door is closed, it’s quiet inside and free of work messes outside.

3. Invisible Office

When the workday is over and the doors are closed on this cloffice, all reminders of work disappear from view.

4. Space-Saving Wonder

This cloffice solution in a New York apartment offers more than a flexible workspace. The blue unit also features a Murphy bed and tons of practical storage. When set up as pictured, it is a functional office with the necessary storage space within reach. The bed and additional storage are around the corner.

5. Temporary Office

When space is limited, experts can help with creative custom-made solutions. A good example is this blue unit, which packs in enough space for task lighting and storing papers behind its fold-out table.

6. Corner Cloffice

This custom built-in also offers a temporary office solution. The desk is hidden in the bottom of the closet. When the door is open, it creates an office corner with space for documents.

7. Cloffice in the Kitchen

This home office spot is situated in an open-plan living-dining-kitchen area. The custom-made unit offers stylish storage and a well-lit desk.

8. Living Room Cloffice

This living room shelving unit accommodates a complete home office space. Folding doors hide enough space for not only a desk but also office supplies.

9. Niche Case

The workspace in this London home is hard to spot when the doors are closed. This is why the floor-to-ceiling custom unit was painted the same color as the wall. A pull-out desktop turns the little workspace into a generously proportioned home office.

10. Short Commute

In this home you can walk straight from bed to the office. Still, this room provides for a restful environment at night, as white closet doors hide away the workspace at night.

11. Unfold

Dark gray folding doors cover this London workspace when it’s not in use. When it’s time to work, the slim doors fold away completely.
