Interior design studio transformation
This personal project had been a thought for some time, and over the Christmas break, we decided to tackle it and create an inspiring studio/office space.
The original room consisted of a narrow desk and high shelves with a single bed and a double wardrobe.
We still wanted to keep a vast amount of hidden storage for samples, the printer, and other office miscellaneous items. To deal with the weight, particularly stone/tile samples, it was in our best interest to re-enforced shelves that were in the wardrobe.

I chose a large desk as I use a laptop on a stand with a separate keyboard and mouse, a common setup now that needs more depth. Then I carry the laptop out to the kitchen to watch videos in the evening while I'm cooking and other family members use the room for Zoom meetings or their own study. It's actually a hot desk situation! The large pinboard and console allow me to change up the artwork and images regularly to keep inspiration fresh, this was crucial for me as we can't travel and network as much as usual right now.

This current artwork is a DIY I did, inspired by the latest textural artworks that are on-trend right now. I reused an old canvas painting and painted it with a stunning earthy stone colour, which was just a sample pot from Bunnings.

interior design ideas -its very long!!
Comments (5)That is a whole lot of question, there, and difficult to comment on the unseen furn. pieces, but a couple thoughts to start the ball rolling: Yes, you can combine patterns.Take your major colors (navy, white , red/orange) and look for patterns of different sizes and percentages:70% navy in a toile,20%navy in a stripe, etc. Gather your softgood selections together before selecting paint shades,for better accuracy in wall color. Carry colors into the kitchen by painting your chairs, and through softgood display ( tablecloth, towels, apron) as well as everyday work items routinely left out. Keep trim colour the same thoughout the space. You might slipcover the chairs at the ends of the table in a different fabric, but rather than a pattern, consider a plain fabric w accents like a monogram or stamped design to transition from the remaining patterned chairs to the couch slipcover. In general, I'd shy from painting large pieces black in a small space, but without knowing your other selections, can not make specific suggestions.( I wonder if navy might look well, when all is put together? Perhaps your fabric choices will be so sharp that a neutral off-white is begged for...) Continue to post as you make decisions, and more folks will join in.
