home office in lounge room

I recently extended my home with new kitchen and lounge/dining room.

The lounge/dining room is approx 8m by 5m. One wall has no windows (8m long) and originally the plan was to have custom made cabinetry for storage/TV etc. The wall at the end of the room has 2 windows but we were going to leave it. The other 2 walls are cannot be used for storage. We wanted to live with the room before we proceeded with the cabinetry. I now find that we are using the dining table as a work space.

We cannot use another room as a home office as it is a very small house. I am now thinking of using the end wall as the work space as we could look out the windows into the garden rather than looking at a wall. I am a bit of a neat freak and my husband is very messy with papers everywhere but no place to store them.

Any ideas for the cabinetry that would cover the original brief but now include a work space but not have the cabinetry overpower the room?
