Desk Area

Designed with homeowner & interior designer Melissa Guerrero. Melissa designed the shelves & chose the materials & colors. I designed the desk area with cubbies, along with other functional aspects of this kitchen.

 
What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Margaret Everton to Workspaces That Stimulate Creativity
Just as the categories in our lives overlap, multifunction rooms like these can be the most used and most loved spaces in a house. I adore the slim shelf for books or a closed laptop just below the countertop.
added by Kit Pollard to Glam Up the Kitchen
Grown-up color. This is clearly a functional kitchen - the busy shelves and laptop make it clear. But the exotic mustard color on the walls also gives it a ton of sophistication. It's not obnoxious, but it is bold and very different - the owners of this house took a chance, and it paid off.
The main challenge that people face in their twenties in terms of home design is a lack of space. You may be sharing space with roommates or simply living in a tiny apartment. The trick that you have to learn is how to make the most of your space. Creating multi-functional spaces is a great idea in your twenties. This spot here serves as a breakfast nook, a computer workstation and a place to have cocktails with friends who visit.

Simple shelves like these are what IKEA's made for.
