Lisa & Leslie are definitely correct. My husband and I redid my mom's home office in a similar space. We installed two rows of wall-to-wall shelves above the desk, and trimmed them out with 1×3's to make them look thicker. FYI: Trimming the shelves like this also allowed us to hide the under cabinet lights we installed to provide additional task lighting.

I actually had two Ikea LACK shelves that I wanted cut down to put in a closet space like that. I wrapped two inch wide masking tape around the shelf on both ends where I wanted the cuts to be to protect the "wood" from splintering, then hauled them to my local Home Depot where they were kind enough to cut them down for me on that huge saw they have in the lumber department. It worked amazingly — very clean cuts that made for a tailor made fit, just like in the photo you posted!

my husband and I have a combo room in our 2 bedroom apartment right now. It's worked really well, so far! We found a desk that coordinates perfectly with the nightstands, and left out the dresser. We never have guests longer than 5 days, so a dresser isn't necessary. We leave the closet space for the to hang things though. When the guests arrive, we simply put all the office-y things (computer, boring note pads, bills, etc) into the bottom desk drawer and lock it. Then we top the desk with local postcards and guidebooks, pretty pens, and other more decorative things. It takes 3 minutes to switch it all over and makes it a consistently usable space in our small place!
