Suggest design ideas to add study/office desk in rumpus area
Hello Guys,
We have rumpus area as shown in the picture where we are thinking to add a simple study/office desk. We have no plans to add TV on that wall. Other than office desk/table we are thinking to add a two seater sofa, a coffee table and couple of plants. Please suggest some design ideas as in how to place these things and where in this area. Thanks.

Comments (12)Hi Ben, advise you engage a Pro to assist you with the front end design process. All these design decisions need to be founded securely on construction cost knowledge, and it's invariably about balancing your requirements to budget within context. Whether it's sub floor, 2nd storey or going out or whatever there are always options on how to achieve your needs and pro/cons & costs to stack up. Working out various configurations of spaces etc is relatively easy, however designing to budget is not, which is where you get the value of utilising professional services for this. These types of projects and investments involved are with all due respect too large, complex and significant to risk DIY'ing the critical front end. You can give it a go but I'll bet you continue to go round in circles. As we explain to our clients in the preliminary conversations, it's not your job to "work it out". All you need to "work out" at this stage is clarifying your particular living requirements and nominate a budget. The "how" and balancing up/negotiation/compromising between the project priorities/requirements and the budget limit is the job of the professional, what the design process deals with, and what we (as design professionals) have the superior capacity/experience to assist you working through it all to achieve the best solution for your particular situation/scenario. That's your best bet here. Hope this helps steer you in the right direction. Cheers PD...See MoreDesign ideas for study room
Comments (10)Get a cabinet maker to custom build a work station across the entire width of that blank wall. As it is on full show I would recommend incorporating mainly cupboards and drawers so you can hide stuff away. Consider using a coloured polyurethane and nice stone bench top and cabinetry hardware, as it will be the first thing guests see when entering your home.

Comments (43)@Kath i used osmo natural hardwax oil, i'll prob sand this back at some point as it was too white for my liking but ill need to do that if i ever end up back in the actual office as it takes a few days to dry. I'll look into that oil. @Litsa Adamou great job on the desk i like how you made it shorter and turned it right angle, if i had the tools i wanted to do that and then put the chest of draws under it. Here is current state, excuse the mess i was half way through setting this up before i had to rush setting everything up half finished so i could work from home 8-10 hours a day. IT stull will be relocated to a central location once i tear it all down. I'm waiting on 2 monitors + office chair i went the ikea Alefjall. https://www.ikea.com/au/en/p/alefjaell-office-chair-grann-golden-brown-20419983/ I'll actually post my own thread as my bits an pieces are due soon and i need to work out layout....See MoreHelp with a home office design
Comments (19)I like the 2 colours individually , but personally I would paint the ceiling white in an office -- the grape adds excitement , the white is calming , whereas the mustard could distract and almost 'anger' the brain . Having said that , I assume it has cultural roots , and you may consider them your happy places . My suggestion would be to do some cardboard mock-ups -- I use a large A3 colour Laser printer , which is big , but it has 5 papertrays so is only topped up every few weeks . But I like it handy to my 2 or 3 tower computers ( under the benchtop ) and screens and keyboards and phones and laptops , so a design that works for you mightn't suit me , and vice versa ....See More

6 months ago@dreamer : That's exactly what it is, kitchenette - handy for drinks of water, making tea/coffee.
We had a undermount sink there instead of vanity bowl, but the cabinet and stone was already cut which restricted use of undermount sink. We are happy with current setting of vanity bowl and pullout mixer. FYI....there are already two bathrooms upstairs ( 2separate basin inside them) so no need to run downstairs :)

@kate Sure, please allow me a day to visit site and do the actual measurements. Will share it here soon.

Actually, my partner and both work from home most of time and we have one dedicated study/office room which one of us will use. But we are looking to see another place where we can setup a office table/chair or some sort of study nook.
House is built as per the plans (ground floor is here).Could you suggest another place where we can setup a office table/chair or some sort of study nook as we were thinking to put somewhere in rumpus area as I mentioned in the first post of this thread.

6 months agoI would set out the room, something like this. Being aware of walking paths for stairs and bedrooms. (Shown in green) A long desk with storage above on the bedroom 3 wall. It appears that is the wall with the power outlets, and the other wall is a thoroughfare for bedrooms. Two or three large single chairs positioned to look through the void window. A coffee table and all positioned on a large floor rug.
