To get the most out of your work space and increase productivity, you should layout your furniture in a way that is appealing to the eye and also works on a very practical level. Look at these office layouts in 10 x 12-foot rooms for inspiration.
Casual Comfy Office Space
This office layout features a comfy sofa along one wall where users of the room could relax or spend their lunch hour.
The sofa is positioned in front of the window so you can sit and enjoy the view or benefit from the natural light, whereas the desk has been cleverly positioned against a wall so that the light from the window doesn’t reflect on a computer screen.
See the floor plan below.
Industrial Office Space
This office has an urban, edgy feel to it, thanks to the exposed brick walls and high ceilings with exposed pipework.
One wall is dominated by open bookshelves that can be used for filing away documents, while a square table has been positioned in the middle of the room to accommodate several workers. This is a great layout for a collaborative workspace where individuals work in a team.

Bright and Airy Office Layout
This room has windows along two walls that make for a nice bright and airy feel, although too much light can be an issue if it reflects on our computer screen. This potential issue has been resolved in this space by using a corner desk against the windows so that the screen is not facing direct sunlight.
Another desk of the same style has been lined up next to the corner desk to create the look of fitted furniture and to provide a workspace for an additional user.

Open Plan Office Layout
This office space has been fitted into an open play apartment alongside a lounge area.
The lounge area has been defined by an area rug in between a sofa and a small console table, with the office area positioned separately against a wall. The use of furniture with hairpin legs is very clever in a small space because it doesn’t block visual lines and, therefore, makes a space look bigger than it actually is, which is key when trying to fit several areas into one 10 x 12-foot room.

Imposing Office Layout
If you want to make an impression on clients, then this is the office design for you. One wall has been fitted with custom-built shelves and cabinets from floor to ceiling, which makes for an impressive visual.
There is a grand leather sofa along one wall where clients could sit, while the desk is positioned at an angle facing the doorway. This allows the user to sit behind the desk and be the first thing a client sees when they enter the room. The minimal use of furniture means the space feels large and impressive, while the dark wood and leather tones make for a formidable feel.

Simple Home Office Layout
This office features furniture around the perimeter of the room, leaving an empty space in the middle of the room to ensure it doesn’t feel cluttered.
A corner desk maximizes the use of the space, while additional shelving units and a chest of drawers create useful storage solutions so that files aren’t visible.

Luxury Traditional Office Layout
This 10 by 12-foot room features a back wall covered in custom-built storage furniture, with a matching desk in front and a chair where the user of the office sits. Two comfortable armchairs are positioned facing the desk, presumably for clients when visiting the office.
This layout is great for creating a useful space that is ideal for client meetings and encourages discussion while also setting out the idea that the person behind the desk is in charge.

Grand Office Layout
This layout shows us that a grand and regal feel can be achieved even in rooms that are not huge.
A meeting table occupies the middle of this room, with chairs angled around it for customers or colleagues. By turning the main chair around, the owner of the office can easily switch between the meeting table and the computer station. Dark tones and natural wood surfaces add to the grand look of this space, which is both impressive and functional.

Modern Office with Storage
This office space features a wall of storage shelves and cabinets upon that two desks also jut out to create multiple working areas. This is a minimalist style layout that is sleek and practical.
See the floor plan below.
Office in Attic Layout
This attic space has been converted into a useful home office. File storage has been positioned along one wall at a low height because the slanted ceiling prevents full height storage from being an option.
The desk has been placed against one of the taller walls where it benefits from the natural light coming through the roof window. The awkward layout of the room has been combated by keeping furniture to a minimum to create the look of a spacious room.

Elegant Home Office Plan
This office features a large bay window as the main focus of the room. To draw further attention to this feature, a large desk has been positioned centrally in front of the windows, with a seat behind it. A stylish, comfortable seat sits in front of the desk for clients to use while visiting the office.
A small filing cabinet in front of the windows ensures that no light is blocked out.
See the floor plan below.
Clean and Comfortable Office Layout
This office has been crammed full of furniture, which is great for storage purposes, and it also means the room feels clean and tidy because any clutter has been stored away in the cabinets.
A comfortable chair in the corner of the room along the windows provides a cozy spot for relaxing in and enjoying the view, while the desk faces a wall to minimize distractions while working.
