Home Office

9 years ago
last modified: 9 years ago

We had a small office area of approx 4m x 2.5m in our hallway in our 18th century basement flat in Bristol, UK. As the rest of the house is more classical we wanted a more modern appeal to this area. Wall paper personally designed on Adobe and printed by a firm I found online. Same disign use to have fabric printed to cover the boiler/airing cupboard doors - then purchased the handless gloss charcoal standard kitchen units for my local diy store (Wicks) and curb the units down to "desk top" height. Total spend £2,650. Considering fitting a Murphy Wall Bed in place of the arm chair (only have a 2 bed flat so the extra bed will come in really usefully 3 or 4 times a year.

    Thank you all for your kind comments. The it had always been a dream to have an office with no wires showing .

    i start on the laundry room tomorrow...

    This one could be a challenge as it's only 2.8m by 2.7m and will need lots of cupboard space

    Have fitted a 2nd hand Murphy Wall bed that I picked up off ebay for £150 this afternoon at the far end of the office area...

    I'm going to swap the front panels to high gloss charcoal grey to match the office units and upholster the internal headboard with matching squirly grey cloth to match the boiler doors and wallpaper

    Thank you. It's really cheap. Loads of companies offer the service if you google - it only costs £50ish for a feature wall

    Putting the wall paper up was the biggest concern having never ever wall papered a wall before. I figure if I keep updating our rooms I'm hoping I might find something I'm good at and enjoy (lol) and if it all goes wrong then "hey ho" never mind, I'll have to make a phone call!

    Wooohhh! Nice. But the office chairs are a bit boring. Why don't you try Eames office chair? I have Eames management chair replica in my home office, I bought it from manhattan home design. Have a look at it hope it helps :)

    Nearly finished now. Have wall papered the inside with matching custom printed wallpaper and upholstered the head board with matching custom printed fabric (was a bit of at headache to get the circle pattern to match up between the wall paper and headboard - lots of checking and re-checking and I bet no one will ever notice?!? Lol). And then wired in some led down lights to match the one under the wall units in the other half of the office room...

    Just need to repannel the front of the Murphy Bed in matching high gloss to match the office and it's all done!!
