" If your living room must double as a home office, don't let the work space overpower the room. Get rid of your shaky college desk and try this instead: -- Top spacious file cabinets with an inexpensive sheet of melamine for lots of storage space and minimal impact on the rest of the room.
-- Help the area blend with the rest of the room by adding accessories, such as a thrift-store lamp with a new shade. "
