Speaking of work and especially offices: we have a room designated as an office at home, but we rarely use it. Back when we moved in, I was still studying for my MSc, and to save time on travelling to the university I would work from our home office. We never got round to painting any of this room, except a bad attempt with some left-over green paint (don't ask why). And we just put the old furniture from my student room in there. Since my graduation it hasn't been used as a study, but we didn't change a thing, except use it for storage. And, I'm ashamed to admit, we also used it as a guest room like that (sorry guests!).
But this has got to change, cause we've been working from home more and more these days, and the amount of workstuff and laptops keeps growing. This is all happening on our dining room table downstairs and it's far from practical or ergonomically correct. Not to mention how messy it looks.
Let's get down to business (haha): how about a bit of inspiration:
Nr 1
Nr 2
Nr 3
Nice huh, that's the look I'm aiming for (credit 1, credit 2 credit 3)
And this is what our "office" looks like now......
I already primed ALL the woodwork (which was dark blue or grey) and replastered most of the walls (one small wall was left because I ran out of time and we had a guest coming). This room has two built-in closets and there's a folding bed for guests, so wall space is limited. It will be a challange to optimize space and still make it a nice place to work/sleep in.
What needs to be done:
- paint all woodwork
- finish replastering, prime and paint walls
- add laminate trim to floor
- add molding to ceiling/wall
What do we need to get:
- office cabinets
- desk(s)
- chairs
- flatscreen monitors/keyboards/other devices
- shelving
- curtains
- storage containers
- art work
- cover for folding bed
I can't wait to get started!
