Office layout to add storage

last year

We re-purposed our dining room into office. Initially, I created a large desk with two desks thinking one would be used by a kid. But as it turned out the second top of the desk is used to store things that don't fit in the kitchen. I am thinking to re-do the room by creating one work desk in the middle and add tall cabinets on both sides to add some storage room. I would move the printer desk between the windows on the left hand side. I found ikea cabinets that should fit on each side of the desk (see pic attached) and provide sufficient room for a desk in the middle. I will most likely have to paint either current cabinets or ikea cabinets as I am sure the color will not match but that's a different story. I created a rough sketch, i am sure it is not up to sclae, but just to get an idea. I have hard time visualizing it. Would this look cohesive together? Any other suggestions to add storage?

I think that is sarcasm above.....: )

Show the entire room - all angles. Draw and measure it and note all the feet and inches. Dimensions for every wall, window and the entrance to the room.

"Overflow" from the kitchen.....show the kitchen as well.

What is in the closet at the right of your picture? Open the door, take a picture.

Doing that "homework I just mentioned will get you more and better answers.

Thanks, @Jan Moyer. I did draw the dimensions based on the measurements. Not a pro, so drawing is on a paper. Adding more pics. Pantry is very unexciting, just wire shelving. There are no doors into the room, just doorways from foyer and kitchen. I realized I will not be able to put printer cabinet between windows due to a vent in the floor, so it will have to go on the opposite wall. Would like to have a chair to sit down and take shoes off (replace the flowery one) and a full size mirror on one of the walls, may be between two windows. Those are on the wish list for this room outside of the work station.
