We all have those days when getting to the office seems like an impossibility. For such occasions we all need a place to sit and focus. Though you don't need to devote an entire room to your workspace, the fact remains that you need a place where distractions are minimal and all your essential tools are within easy reach.

Though the word 'workspace' doesn't quite conjure images of exciting decor, that doesn't mean your home office has to be boring. This quick and simple quiz from renters.apartments.com will help you pinpoint what elements make up your ideal workspace, and goes so far as to offer a few suggestions for great pieces to pull the perfect look together. Keep reading to play and learn more.

1. I’m simplistic and do not have a need for a lot of storage:

A: Yes – then try the Gunnar Desk for Z Gallerie, its simple design will match your minimalist taste

B: No – The Design Workshop from CB2 could be a great solution for you, tons of storage and shelving with the option for matching add-ons like file cabinets if you need them

2. I’m a visual worker and like to have notes and reminders available:

A: Yes – then you need a chalkboard and bulletin board – create the system that works for you withPottery Barn’s Build Your Own Components System

B: No – then perhaps all you need is a little desk organization, try the Kvissle collection from Ikea

3. I want a super comfortable computer chair even if it looks like an office chair:

A: Yes – go for the SAYL chair at the Herman Miller Store, it’s pricey but your butt and back will thank you

B: No – you prefer a more natural looking chair, it is your home after all. Try the Boss Office Chair from Office Depot, it’s a classic that will never go out of style.

4. I like a neutral space so I can concentrate, no bright colors or art:

A: Yes – spice up your space with some simple stripes and keep the rest clean and white. Black and white striped rug from Crate & Barrel

B: No – give your office a punch of color, the kind you wouldn't get in most real offices with this NuLOOM Alexis Moroccan print rug from Overstock in whatever color you fancy.
