Start with the flooring, wall color, or choose a desk – all primary pieces that will help you create a space you love to work in. By adding raw elements like the organic wooden accent wall behind the open shelving and cabinets, the space feels warmer and more visually pleasing.
The desk, like the flooring and wall color, adds a sense of poise and sophistication when added to this home office. The glass top makes the space feel larger, while the white cabinets against the natural wood wall help to engage more than one of your senses. No matter what type of work you’re planning on doing in your home office, keeping it simple is always an excellent way to ensure you have what’s necessary in your space. By utilizing a desk, a chair, and some small storage solutions, you’ll be more likely to keep only the required items, helping you stay organized and stress-free in your home office.
Because the room takes on a more minimalistic approach to design, the level of productivity of the office is put at the forefront, rather than made an afterthought. For example, the art on the wall behind this desk adds flair to the space, showing off the most loved sport and team in this home. Being able to use one room in more than one way will help you prepare for both the times that you need your home office, as well as when you need an extra bedroom for loved ones. In this simple, well-designed space, there is an opportunity to create not only a functioning office but also a library or a spare bedroom.
Because the built-in cabinets take up little space against the wall, they can store a multitude of items, including books, supplies, and décor. Whether your family comes into town at the last minute, or you’re preparing for a visit, adding a bed would be quick and easy because there’s plenty of space in the room.
