Brooklyn homes give home offices very different starting points: open lofts in Williamsburg and DUMBO, spare rooms in Park Slope and Bed-Stuy brownstones, and compact co-ops in Bay Ridge.
01Lofts
In open lofts, a freestanding storage wall can create an office zone with a desk on one side and shelves or a closet on the other.
02Brownstone spare rooms
Top-floor brownstone rooms make good offices: a full desk wall with bookcases, file drawers and space for two. See desk for two.
03Guest room and office
If the room also hosts guests, a desk beside a wall bed keeps both uses; see office and guest room.
04Bay Ridge co-ops
Co-op apartments along Shore Road and Fourth Avenue often have a small second bedroom that suits a compact desk wall.
05Wiring
Brownstones may have few outlets; plan power and data before building.
