Modern Farmhouse

Lauren Jacobsen Interior Design

This fabulous home office was so appreciated when everything was shut down due to the virus. To the right is an outdoor pergola patio with a fireplace and slide-back doors that open the space up and extend the room. The desk is custom designed. The mortise and tenon design allows lots of openings to hide hard drives and wiring which is always the downfall of a great home office. It was a must from us as a design firm that all technology be hidden when not in use.

Mrs C – Benson, Oxfordshire, 3.8M X 2.4M Cedar Clad Massage/Therapy Garden Room

Garden Retreat

Mrs C was looking for a cost effective solution for a garden office / room in order to move her massage and therapy work to her home, which also saves her a significant amount of money renting her current premises. Garden Retreat have the perfect solution, an all year round room creating a quite and personable environment for Mr C’s clients to be pampered and receive one to one treatments in a peaceful and tranquil space. This contemporary garden building is constructed using an external cedar clad and bitumen paper to ensure any damp is kept out of the building. The walls are constructed using a 75mm x 38mm timber frame, 50mm Celotex and a 12mm inner lining grooved ply to finish the walls. The total thickness of the walls is 100mm which lends itself to all year round use. The floor is manufactured using heavy duty bearers, 75mm Celotex and a 15mm ply floor which comes with a laminated floor as standard and there are 4 options to choose from (September 2021 onwards) alternatively you can fit your own vinyl or carpet. The roof is insulated and comes with an inner ply, metal roof covering, underfelt and internal spot lights or light panels. Within the electrics pack there is consumer unit, 3 brushed stainless steel double sockets and a switch. We also install sockets with built in USB charging points which is very useful and this building also has external spots (now standard September 2021) to light up the porch area. This particular model is supplied with one set of 1200mm wide anthracite grey uPVC French doors and two 600mm full length side lights and a 600mm x 900mm uPVC casement window which provides a modern look and lots of light. The building is designed to be modular so during the ordering process you have the opportunity to choose where you want the windows and doors to be.

Rénovation complète d'une chartreuse toulousaine

MF intérieurs

Cette chartreuse a subi de grosses modifications : à commencer par la suppression d'un pilier porteur (avec pose d'un IPN) et la reprise des faux plafonds pour faire apparaitre les poutres. Le sol a également été modifié avec la pose d'un nouveau parquet et les murs en briques et galets (qui avait été cachés derrière des doublages) ont été rénovés. Il fallait absolument regagner en espace et en luminosité (point noir typique de ces maisons en fond de cour entre des immeubles). Pour lier les différents espaces de vis, un grand meuble en semi sur-mesure court tout le long du rez-de-chaussée changeant de fonction au fil du mur : d'abord meuble tv, puis étagères, puis cuisine, puis bureau. Pour ce projet, j'ai eu la chance de collaborer avec l'architecte Jean-Louis d'Esparbès qui s'est occupé de la partie structure du projet.

Contemporary Home Office Design Ideas with Timber

A home office has many uses and isn’t a mere luxury anymore. You might work from home, or bring work home, or you might just need a place to go through bills, mail or store important paperwork. Kids can use a home office to do their homework, or quietly play a game online. Browse the photos on Houzz for contemporary home office ideas and inspiration, and strike up a conversation with the architect or designer or your favourite picks. For more home office ideas, check out the Stories section.

How much office storage do I need?

To ensure your contemporary home office or study room isn’t buried under a deluge of paperwork, books and supplies, incorporate plenty of shelves, cabinets and drawers. Floating or built-in shelves with cubbies can stock books and magazine holders; or for a more traditional look, make room for a large bookcase that fits in with the decor of your home. Invest in a filing cabinet to store paperwork, and opt for a lockable filing cabinet if you have sensitive documents. A tray organiser can store incoming mail and will help prioritise bills. The type of desk you choose is also key to keeping things organised. Look for desks with deep drawers and plenty of surface space, and add tray organisers to the drawers to keep track of staples like pens, pencils, highlighters and sticky tape. If you want a streamlined look, find a way to conceal any computer cables or wires, too. One solution is to install a false back on your desk, if it doesn’t already have one.

How do I choose an office desk and chair?

If you spend long hours hunched over your work desk at home, invest in ergonomic office chairs with wheels for better back health and comfort. Consider optimal lumbar support with flexibility in adjusting handles and back angle. Most rolling office chairs come upholstered, typically in leather, but that’s no reason why you can’t have one custom-made to suit your contemporary home decor. When picking out your work desk, be sure to consider its overall function. If you work from home and hold meetings, pick an oversized, sturdy desk that is double-sided (can be accessed from both sides). You’ll want it to look professional, so opt for dark timbers over high-shine finishes. It’s also a good idea to create a separate study desk for the kids, so homework doesn’t go missing among your files. If your home office is for the whole family a two-person desk or built-in long work bench are more suitable. Where space is tight, look for a retractable computer desk, or utilise an awkward corner with a corner desk.

What contemporary home office decor will encourage productivity?

Use your walls for to-do lists: hang a pegboard and paint it in your favourite colour or be adventurous with chalkboard paint and whiteboard panels. Bulletin boards that keep the whole family in order are an extra feature that always come in handy. Use your stationery and office accessories – think pencil cups, paper trays and magazine holders – to add colour and pattern, and desk lamps, clocks, maps and calendars to personalise the space. Above all else, aim for ease of use.
