For a style and function, Heron had cabinet makers integrate a bulletin board wrapped in Winsdor Smith's Pelegos fabric. The workstation has both open and closed storage for light home office use. Opposite the workstation you can grab a hot or cold drink from the beverage center.

More stripped-down models of the Windsor fit into more modern and contemporary spaces with ease. In this example, the basic chairs serve as modern chairs, even when paired with a country-style table. The rug, clean and bright white surfaces, and other furnishings in the room make this room contemporary overall.

I'm not sure if this backsplash is tile or wallpaper, but it looks terrific. I love how it plays off the rug. A mismatched chair, open shelves for cookbooks and a ledge with baskets help make this kitchen desk look layered and interesting.

3. Take additional functions into account when determining your work triangle. Because so many modern kitchens have become multipurpose rooms, it's important to really think about what functions you want your kitchen to serve. Determining whether you want a desk, homework place, bar, large island, multiple sinks and so on can help you figure out exactly how to position your work triangle. Adequate prep space is often forgotten because it's not explicitly included in the work triangle equation. It's usually a good idea to have one prep space near the sink and one near the stove. Put utensils, pots and spices near the stove for easy cooking — it'll save additional steps.

3. Consider ergonomics. "The furniture style follows the function," says Rigby. Once you've determined your room's function and the amount of space available, you can start figuring out what furniture will work best. While function and space are important, you don't want to forget about comfort either. Ask the same questions about your existing or future furniture that you're asking about the space itself. What can you do to improve your furniture's support or comfort level? "When you talk about ergonomics, just think about what actions you are going to do in your room or home," advises Hebson. "Try making those movements and observe what keeps you from being comfortable. One by one, eliminate all the disturbing factors that cause the inconvenience."This is particularly important in multipurpose and high-function spaces, such as offices and kitchens, where repetitive-motion injuries, strain and stress can happen easily. "Ergonomics in today's society is so critical, because it reflects a lifestyle that many people are trying to attain," says designer David Arduini of 3sixty Space Planning Design.
