The Kelso | Bellevue Modern Farmhouse

JayMarc Homes

The Kelso's Study is a sophisticated and elegant space designed for work, reading, or relaxation. The black windows add a touch of modernity and contrast against the lighter elements in the room. The wainscoting on the walls provides a classic and timeless look, while the white canvas chairs offer comfortable seating with a clean and crisp aesthetic. The white walls create a bright and airy atmosphere, allowing the room to feel spacious and inviting. The white trim adds a subtle accent and enhances the architectural details. The wooden desk serves as a focal point and provides a sturdy and functional workspace. The light hardwood flooring adds warmth and complements the overall color palette of the room. A gray rug adds texture and defines the seating area. A potted plant brings a touch of nature and freshness to the space, adding a pop of green against the neutral tones. The Kelso's Study is a refined and tranquil setting, perfect for concentration and inspiration.

Modern Farmhouse

The Highpoint House

In this new build we achieved a southern classic look on the exterior, with a modern farmhouse flair in the interior. The palette for this project focused on neutrals, natural woods, hues of blues, and accents of black. This allowed for a seamless and calm transition from room to room having each space speak to one another for a constant style flow throughout the home. We focused heavily on statement lighting, and classic finishes with a modern twist.

Reforma integral - Casa Maó

ESTUDI A L'ÀTIC. Benvinguts al Slow Design!

Trabajamos para encontrar una distribución diáfana para que la luz cruce todo el espacio. Aun así, se diseñan dos puertas correderas que permiten separar la zona de día de la de noche cuando se desee, pero que queden totalmente escondidas cuando se quiere todo abierto, desapareciendo por completo. Ante la geometría alargada del piso, proponemos un mueble continuo que empieza siendo el armario de la habitación, pasando a ser una zona de estudio, continuando como mueble del recibidor y terminando como mueble de la sala. De este modo el espacio de pasillo cobra vida y funcionalidad.

Home Office Design Ideas with Decorative Wall Panelling and Brick Walls

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 home office ideas and inspiration, and strike up a conversation with the architect or designer or your favourite picks.

How much office storage do I need?

To ensure your 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 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 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.
