Need help for home office + storage room design

Hi! first time posting here :-), I'll be moving to a new place and i need some expert advice for turning this room into my home office (pc with 2 flat screen monitors) plus storage clothes and stuff. Mi idea is to set the desk at the end of the room, place drawers and shelves from start to finish on the left wall and leave the right wall empty or even add more shelves on it, Room size are 1.73m wide an 3.95m long, 2m or more on the right wall and 0.93m on the left. All ideas are welcome!

Ironwood Builders Not sure I'd ever spend time in my office if it was in there! Are there no other spaces that can do double duty? One with a little natural light?

surferjsmc Nope it's the only room where i can set mi computer, there is another room with a window but it is for my daughter and my wife doesn't want the computer in there so that small room it's my only hope.

Patricia Gold You could do a nice custom built in with desk area for computer and some cubbies for storage.
Paint the walls your favorite color or a warm tan. Add a small scale comfortable chair..
If you have room add some artwork( posters,plaques awards ,etc.)

ktiquet Have you looked on pintrest? I have seen some pictures of office's in a closet on that sight and they look good. I this k if you do a bulit in desk you can make this work no dark colors or you'll feel like your in a cave. Good luck.

Lauren Gray Kitchen Designs I like your idea of the desk at the end and storage to the left. I would definitely leave the right wall open. A great place for inspiring art and bulletin or wipe boards depending on the needs of your work. I would also add some built-in storage as suggested by others previously. Did a quick sketch (please forgive the mess, it's been a while since I did hand sketching). Add a light but fun color to keep it bright in there and a comfy chair and you're good to go!

surferjsmc Lauren that's exactly what i have in mind, white is the way to go but I'm open to another suggest colors, another issue it's about lighting cuz i want good illumination but don't know what kind.

Lauren Gray Kitchen Designs Well if doing some kind of shelving built in above the desk you would be able to include some undercabinet task lightiing that would help. I'd also say you could add some track lighting on the small amount of ceiling you have, or even some wall sconces at the top of the tall wall, then add some additional table or desk lamps to the left cabinet section.
