I have a study nook right in front of the window, and away from the bed (a must!). Ample sunlight and a great view are important for a great work-from-home day!

Looking at the design suggested above I have a couple of concerns with the kitchen and bathroom. Both look cramped. I suggest removing the separate shower in the bathroom and moving up the vanity and toilet. A shower over the bath is not ideal, but will give you more space, which I suspect may be essential in a bathroom with no windows. I would also suggest a skylight or solar tube to bring in natural light. This could change the whole feel of the room. With regards to the kitchen, I would lose the end cabinets as they will be awkward to use and I firmly believe that corner cabinets are a blight in any kitchen. A galley kitchen would be easier to use. Also, maybe move the sink and dishwasher to the other wall and reduce the depth of the bench along the wall with the family room, to give more space between the cabinetry. I know this will leave you with less cabinet space in the kitchen, but if you keep benchtop to a minimum on the wall with the stove and sink, you may be able to fit in enough wall cabinets to compensate, especially as you will be taking them to the end wall. Also, a nice buffet/hutch in the new dining space could provide overflow space for little used items as well as crockery and cutlery. I would suggest drawers below bench height instead of cabinets. They are much easier to access and hold more than cabinets.

Hi Alex, Thank you! The office chairs are not from VOF, they were a very specific request by the client, Herman Miller designed chair. I have seen very similar office chair versions also!

I have upgraded floor grills in aged bronze that work with the floor boards and are very unobtrusive. I would say that they are the most aesthetically pleasing option. For atmosphere you may be able to add an electric log-look fire to one of the fireplaces. Their appearance has improved dramatically over the last few years. I have a real log combustion fire in my fireplace. It is absolutely lovely to have on a winters day but does come with maintenance and is not practical for everyday use.
