The family living in this shingled roofed home on the Peninsula loves color and pattern. At the heart of the two-story house, we created a library with high gloss lapis blue walls. The tête-à-tête provides an inviting place for the couple to read while their children play games at the antique card table. As a counterpoint, the open planned family, dining room, and kitchen have white walls. We selected a deep aubergine for the kitchen cabinetry. In the tranquil master suite, we layered celadon and sky blue while the daughters' room features pink, purple, and citrine.

Haute Home Office

Laurie DiGiacomo Interiors

A luxe home office that is beautiful enough to be the first room you see when walking in this home, but functional enough to be a true working office.

Arts and Crafts House

Reyne Design

I worked with my client to create a home that looked and functioned beautifully whilst minimising the impact on the environment. We reused furniture where possible, sourced antiques and used sustainable products where possible, ensuring we combined deliveries and used UK based companies where possible. The result is a unique family home. An informal seating area around the fireplace with custom joinery created to display family treasures and keepsakes whilst hiding family essentials in the cupboards beneath. Beautiful antique rugs and furniture make this home really special but not so precious that the dog and young children aren't welcome.

Updated English Manor

K Two Designs, Inc.

No English manor would be complete without a library, or a man cave today. Blue - grey walls envelope a library with bookshelves in the same color. Accents of red and black give the room its manly feel. This room, little more than a closet, was totally gutted to take out a non-functioning desk and make this a place to read and relax.

Conserver et accentuer le charme de son appartement parisien - Projet Chalon

Mon Concept Habitation

Notre cliente venait de faire l’acquisition d’un appartement au charme parisien. On y retrouve de belles moulures, un parquet à l’anglaise et ce sublime poêle en céramique. Néanmoins, le bien avait besoin d’un coup de frais et une adaptation aux goûts de notre cliente ! Dans l’ensemble, nous avons travaillé sur des couleurs douces. L’exemple le plus probant : la cuisine. Elle vient se décliner en plusieurs bleus clairs. Notre cliente souhaitant limiter la propagation des odeurs, nous l’avons fermée avec une porte vitrée. Son style vient faire écho à la verrière du bureau afin de souligner le caractère de l’appartement. Le bureau est une création sur-mesure. A mi-chemin entre le bureau et la bibliothèque, il est un coin idéal pour travailler sans pour autant s’isoler. Ouvert et avec sa verrière, il profite de la lumière du séjour où la luminosité est maximisée grâce aux murs blancs.

Home Office Design Ideas with a Library and Blue Walls

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. For more home office ideas, check out the Stories section.

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.
