Como by Design Interiors Showhouse

Camilla Molders Design

Camilla Molders Design was invited to participate in Como By Design - the first Interior Showhouse in Australia in 18 years. Como by Design saw 24 interior designers temporarily reimagined the interior of the historic Como House in South Yarra for 3 days in October. As a national trust house, the original fabric of the house was to remain intact and returned to the original state after the exhibition. Our design worked along side exisiting some antique pieces such as a mirror, bookshelf, chandelier and the original pink carpet. Add some colour to the walls and furnishings in the room that were all custom designed by Camilla Molders Design including the chairs, rug, screen and desk - made for a cosy and welcoming sitting room. it is a little to sad to think this lovely cosy room only existed for 1 week!

Safari Lodge In Africa

After the Antique

In the heart of Africa, this was an inspiring project to be part of. A stunning and luxurious new safari lodge was being built in the hills in Kenya, and the project required several significant fireplaces in the main rooms. A vital element of the design brief was that the fireplaces should reflect the wildlife that can be found around the house. Each fireplace is unique to its room, and different scenes of elephants, buffalos, lions and impala can be seen in the different fireplaces. The Master bathroom in this house had a spectacular view across the plains and needed a luxurious bath in which to lie and look out over the vista. We made a solid roll top marble bath from which to enjoy the views.

Renovisions Library Remodel in Duxbury MA

Renovisions

This customer wanted the Renovisions Team to create a home office/ Library away from his Boston office in the hustle & bustle of the city. He also wanted to use this space to entertain colleagues and guests when visiting from out of state. He approached us requesting to have this newly re-built space to have the look and feel of a Montana lodge he recently visited. First, we removed the existing ceiling to open up the space and finish as a cathedral ceiling. We added a large ridge beam which was wrapped in rustic wood to give it an old world look. Several recessed lights were installed on dimmer switches and 2 ceiling fans were installed along the ridge beam for air circulation. The idea was to create a cozy organic outdoor natural feel by incorporating rustic wide plank oak flooring with a dark walnut stain and high gloss finish to create an old, antique look which gave a lived in and comfortable feel to the room. Custom bookcases which were painted antique white were built to accommodate this homeowner’s extensive and growing collection of books. A chimney was built from floor to ceiling and New England Fieldstone was applied to the front. A gas fireplace was installed featuring Herringbone brick inside with an arched top design atop the raised stone hearth. With just a touch of a button on a remote control these homeowners have a lifelike flame and tremendous heat to warm up any cold winter day or night The homeowners were elated with this very comfortable, inviting room “Renovision” and now have a wonderful retreat their entire family and guests can enjoy. What a fabulous natural setting to showcase this customer’s bear skin rug collection!

Eclectic Home Office Design Ideas with a Standard Fireplace

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 eclectic 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 eclectic 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 eclectic 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 eclectic 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.
