Hi Sophie, I rather like the pictures on your clipboards and how you have your tools...busy but organised...is that your preferred style to help focus on a task, to amuse, or perhaps encourage creative thought? Start by checking out "study nooks" on Houzz to see what ideas appeal to you - look at what has been done to create the feel of the space... you have a lot of options with your nook and whether you opt for paint, wallpaper, material, a collage, where you place items etc will depend on the specific style needed to help you study and what else you do in that room as well as your budget and how much time and effort you put into planning and implementing it. Copper will certainly richly complement black, and painting a wall is straightforward if permitted, but realise (for future changes) that it takes many coats of a lighter colour to effectively cover up an existing dark colour (even if possible). Also be aware that trims such as the white shelves, brackets, corkboard surrounds etc will add to the overall effect. So, for example covering the corkboard with paper or material in a complementary or matching colour may help tie it in to your theme. When you have narrowed the choices a little, take another photo with your copper pieces included and repost. Hope this helps.

You can either hire an Interior Designer to draw up joinery plans for you (make sure they have solid experience with joinery design) which you can then arrange to get cut and delivered in flat pack, either arrange an installer or install yourself if you have the tools and the skills! or you can contact a joiner/cabinet maker/kitchen company and get them out to measure up, draw up some plans and quote on supply and install. Good luck! www.billyhoostudio.com

Hi there, straight away your predicament says to me WALL BED! The Europeans have are pros at living in tiny spaces that have to be multi use. There are some amazing wall beds that combine multi use functions like lounge/bed/office and take up very little space as they go against one wall leaving the remaining space free (just keep in mind you will need space to lower the bed when required). If you are in Australia try The Comfort Shop for some of the best multi-use wall beds that are italian made, they are pricey but worth it if you truly want a room that can be versatile (below are some of their better options, sorry some of the images are very small)

Love your desk, E K. Is this going to be a ‘constantly in use’ home office? If so, practicality might direct your design choices. For instance, do you need task lighting? Or could a statement light fitting work? It’s proportionally suited to the room, so I’d keep any decor to one single piece or a group of three smaller pieces. For me, the style of desk seems suited to modern glass ornamentation. As for artwork, consider www.artbank.gov.au which allows you to lease beautiful Australian art or www.bluethumb.com.au which supports established and upcoming Australian artists and if budget is tight, go to your local auction houses. Unless space is very tight, consider leaving a space on your bookshelf for a colourful ceramic or sculptural piece, ensure there is some design or colour connection between your pieces, and I’d say your done
