can practical still be inspirational?

I am having a very real problem.  

my second bedroom needs to work twice as hard at the moment.  it needs to work as a spareroom for paying B&B guests, as well as serving as my home office when no one is staying.  the challenge is to include all of the above in each, without compromising on style.

what I have realised, apart from the fact that this is quite a challenging concept in a small room, I have also noticed that there is very little out there in the way of inspiring home office images.  I will be scouring the interiors world for inspiration and will share them with you here.
