Get the look – Opulent Offices

With more and more of us opting for flexible working hours and the choice of working from home, the demand for a functional and fashionable home office space has become a huge talking point in the interior design world.

Layout, space saving and practicality are essential elements when considering the design of your home study, whilst colour schemes, furniture and accessories are key in creating a space in which you can relax and work efficiently.

Colour Schemes

When selecting the colour palette for your home office the choice really is yours! Remember that you are creating a working environment that is right for you not simply choosing a colour scheme because it is ‘on trend’ and popular. One Key element to consider is the ambiance that your colour scheme will be creating within your office area. Any shape or size of office space should be relaxing and calming and reflect the characteristics of the person that inhabits that space. Traditional hues such as beige, white, grey and monochrome make a sophisticated and refined space that provide a neutral canvas in which to work.

Traditionally offices and studies have been seen as quite masculine spaces with muted, tonal decor; however with more and more business women working from home there has been a rise in more feminine and uplifting office interiors. Crisp white furniture, pastel and colourful tones can be injected into even the smallest of spaces to create a haven that is not only relaxing but functional and organised.

 

Furniture

When it comes to furnishing your office space then your choice of desk should be your number one priority as this furniture item will take centre stage in your interior and will become the hub of your office during your working hours.

Traditional oak and hardwood desks make a timeless addition to any working area and their warm yet neutral tones fit perfectly into both classic and contemporary office spaces. Corner desks such as our Opus Oak Corner Desk are ideal for making the most of your floor space without negotiating on storage and practicality.

If you would prefer a sleeker, more minimal office space within your home then opt for slimline, ‘invisible’ office furniture such as our Geo-Glass Smoked Black Desk that is crafted from a single sheet of annealed glass to provide a crisp and clean finish that is great for creating a sense of space and light in smaller office spaces.

 

Accessories

No one wants to work in a cluttered and dis-organised office where you cannot find a pen, paperclip or stapler and your paperwork is strewn all over the floor. The answer to your problems…storage, storage, storage! With a vast range of fabulous bookcases, office stationary and accessories, from wicker to perspex; chalkboard to leather you can tailor your office accessories to your chosen decor and create a personalised space for your important documents and nik naks.

Alternative Office Spaces

If your strapped for space then there is no need to worry as alternative office spaces are the latest trend in the interior design world this season. If you don’t have a spare room to convert into an office area then you can opt for a compact corner desk that can be incorporated into your bedroom or living area. Alternatively if you have some outdoor space that is not being used then you can create a functional ‘outdoor office’ by transforming your shed or summer house into a chic and uplifting work space that is individual and unique.
