Organic Modern, Cordillera Ranch

NR Interiors

This is a unique multi-purpose space, designed to be both a TV Room and an office for him. We designed a custom modular sofa in the center of the room with movable suede back pillows that support someone facing the TV and can be adjusted to support them if they rotate to face the view across the room above the desk. It can also convert to a chaise lounge and has two pillow backs that can be placed to suite the tall man of the home and another to fit well as his petite wife comfortably when watching TV. The leather arm chair at the corner windows is a unique ergonomic swivel reclining chair and positioned for TV viewing and easily rotated to take full advantage of the private view at the windows. The original fine art in this room was created by Tess Muth, San Antonio, TX.

Reforma, decoración y homestaging San Lorenzo de El Escorial

The Numen Studio

Este proyecto de Homestaging fue especial por muchos motivos. En primer lugar porque contábamos con un diamante en bruto: un duplex de dos habitaciones con muchísimo encanto, dos plantas comunicadas en altura, la segunda de ellas abuhardillada con techos de madera y un espacio diáfano con muchísimas posibilidades y sobre todo por estar en el centro de San Lorenzo de Es Escorial, un lugar mágico, rodeado de edificios singulares llenos de color. Sin duda sus vistas desde el balcón y la luz que entraba por sus inmensos ventanales de techo a suelo eran su punto fuerte, pero necesitaba una pequeña reforma después de haber estado alquilado muchos años, aunque la cocina integrada en el salón sí estaba reformada. Los azulejos del baño de la primera planta se pintaron de un verde suave y relajado, se cambiaron sanitarios y grifería y se colocó un espejo singular encontrado en un mercado de segunda mano y restaurado. Se pintó toda la vivienda de un blanco crema suave, asimismo se pintó de blanco la carpintería de madera y las vigas metálicas para potenciar la sensación de amplitud Se realizaron todas aquellas pequeñas reparaciones para poner la vivienda en óptimo estado de funcionamiento, se cambiaron ventanas velux y se reforzó el aislamiento. En la segunda planta cambiamos el suelo de gres por una tarima laminada en tono gris claro resistente al agua y se cambió el suelo del baño por un suelo vinílico con un resultado espectacular Y para poner la guinda del pastel se realizó un estudio del espacio para realizar un homestaging de amueblamiento y decoración combinando muebles de cartón y normales más fotografía inmobiliaria para destacar el potencial de la vivienda y enseñar sus posibles usos que naturalmente, son propuestas para que luego el inquilino haga suya su casa y la adapte a su modo de vida. Todas las personas que visitaron la vivienda agradecieron en contar con el homestaging para hacerse una idea de como podría ser su vida allí

Home Office Design Ideas with Beige Walls 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.
