Comments (10)This is going to be a great office! As you get your desk situated, don't forget cord management. I like these for a "floating" desk as others here have suggested you do. Do you like color? If so, maybe a soft butter yellow storage cabinet for printer and other electronics you don't have room for but don't necessarily want exposed on your existing bookcase. I am not sure if you already have a rug or not, but if you don't, here is a suggestion: Now that I'm going wild here, if you wanted some curtains to soften up the windows, you may want to try something like this: For your desk, try these fun accessories for inspiration: You could put a happy pillow on your chair for back support and visual interest: And a fresh new trashcan / wastebasket. (You could even have fun with this and paint the inside sunny yellow!...See MoreNeed help with home office

Comments (10)At a quick look , that product you have there is designed for the cables to the printer , etc . A laptop plug will poke through from underneath , but things like the 'jug cord' that powers your monitors wont by the looks of it , so you'll end up powering them from the 'top of desk' multiboards . A bit messy , so basically you haven't achieved much . You can get plastic or metal grommets ( 60mm or so in diameter ) that are probably as good . As Kate says , get things that group cords together ( cable ties or those snake looking bits of plastic are good ) . Some other advice -- depending on what you are doing , and even if 2 or 3 are working on the same topics or totally independent : -- have 2 computers per person , but 1 larger ( 32 inch ) monitor per person , and have them hot-swappable ( normally a key on your keyboard switches between computers ) . I know a lot of people go the other way , and have 2 monitors and swap Windows , but I like 2 seperate computers especially if working on 2 projects . -- hardwire printers rather that WiFi or Bluetooth -- mind you , that depends how many computers and projects you are using , also whether you have 1 computer set up as a server . -- If 2 or more people are working on the same project , and you have the wall space , have a 42 or 50 inch TV on the wall , with HDMI , as a potential monitor . TV's aaren't as good picture quality as computer monitors , but I find they are handy for getting projects up for several people to look at , or failing that , playing You Tube videos or Netflix or music videos or whatever , even if the sound is turned down ....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- last year
