Binswood Avenue Bespoke Study

WILL MUNDY

This was such a stunning room to design, with some of the highest ceilings we’d ever seen. The space was flooded with light which gave us fabulous scope with the colour scheme and made for a lovely space to work in. The cabinetry was crafted to match the Arlington style already in the kitchen, and we took elements of the colour scheme here into the study to create a harmonious colour palette that flowed from one room to the next. Base cabinets and drawer space offered ample storage, all corners being utilised with the use of some clever internal storage systems, and all were topped with grey white washed solid oak desktops. We used traditionally styled nickel knobs and drawer pulls crafted by a local brassfounder, and to access the high cabinets, a beautiful oak library ladder added a practical and characterful finishing touch.

Lake Forest Contemporary Chateau

Devon Grace Interiors

DGI designed a large home office complete with two desks. The vaulted ceilings and wood beam details draw your eyes up, and we selected an aged iron chandelier to complement them. We kept the existing fireplace mantle, but we opted to paint the wooden surround in the same charcoal grey seen throughout the rest of the home. It creates a cohesive feel while elevating the fireplace with a more modern feel.

Home Office Design Ideas with Recessed and Vaulted

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.
