Ideas for HHR - office

I have a vintage bergere chair I picked up from a flea market that I would love to recover in something like these fabrics for the office.

Q

I like a chair like this, but even more cushy and comfy for the office - a big overstuffed down cushion. Every time I go to a coffee shop to work, I always make a beeline for the cushy chairs - if you're sitting for 8 hours a day, why not be cozy?

Q

I envision something like this for the office, opposite my desk and work space - a place where the kids can draw or color or do their homework, that's still clean and fun but implies a workspace rather than a place to hack around...

Q

Another great use of a small space - I like how the cubbies and the drawers resemble an old post office or card catalog.

Q

I like how efficiently this space is used - it somehow still looks cozy even though it's actually quite cramped. I like the more comfy chair instead of the boring office chair, though this one is more modern than I prefer.

Q

This is a fun phone for the office!

Q

This could be an interesting lamp in the office or bedroom.

Q

More vintage suitcases for storage

Q

What a gorgeous craft space! Too big and intricate for our house, but something like this on one wall for the kids might mirror my office cupboards nicely and also be practical. I strangely also like the lights, though they're not my standard taste.

Q

A craft space that doesn't look too craft-y or childish; I like the pattern on the back of shadow boxes, and how everything has its place but still looks useable.

Q

I like the neutral walls, etc. with the bright pops of color

Q

I love little touches like this - button heads on push pins, etc. Just keeping the office more fun.

Q

I think I love this chandelier, but I can't decide...It's so interesting and unusual and modern, but still natural with the shell... It could be perfect for my office, or could just look really hipster-y and pretentious.

Q

I like the color on the back of the cubbies - this room is too many colors all competing, but the idea is nice.

Q

I love the look and idea of vintage suitcases for holding paperwork, etc - cute, speaks to my love of travel and of antiques, and you can close them up when company comes over. I'm a little worried that in our house it will just look cluttered, like we just left out our old suitcases...

Q

Another incoming mail option for the office - I need my office to be practical and useful, but I don't want it to look like something in an office strip mall.

Q

I would love to have something like this (though with more holders probably) on the door to the office so that we can put incoming mail, checks, etc. in its place right away, and yet still look home-y.

Q

I like the combo of white, black, a nice bright color - there's nothing specific I like about this (though I do like cubbies, chalkboard paint, and linen coverings), just the feel of it.

Q

I like the mix of rustic and industrial here - the distressed table and the chalkboard and the big clean windows and the blue and the raw wood - I don't like the modern chandelier or the table legs or the more blatantly industrial/modern parts.

Q

Another alternative to the full chalkboard wall - maybe on the closet door instead? I don't love the magnetized chalkboard, though - just seems a waste of space.

Q

A possible alternative to a full chalkboard wall that looks much nicer than the plain framed version.

Q

Really interesting idea for chalkboard paint calendar - could be a good way to keep track of tutors' appointments; or just inspiration for designated notetaking areas on the chalkboard wall.

Q

Love the idea of the pull-out desk for more space.

Q

Love the mehndi work in the corner - the colors aren't my taste, but I love something like this that's really unique without being overwhelming.

Q

Too bright and too much like a highschooler's room, but I do like how it can still look sophisticated or elegant with a mix of work stuff and the dress form.

Q

If there's room in the space (which I doubt) I love that it could double as a guest room with a very simple daybed. Tidy and simple storage makes everything so clean, along with the really minimalist window shades.

Q

This is WAY too bright and way too modern looking for my taste, and I don't love the industrial look of the shelves, but I do like how seamless everything looks despite the amount of stuff being stored, and I like the chandelier as an idea (though not this one) - just because it's an office doesn't mean it can't be pretty.

Q

The specifics of the space don't do anything for me here, but I do have a dress form I had planned to put in my office (to make it double as a space to sew, crafts, etc.) and I like how sophisticated this space looks, and how the craft elements and the work elements go together without looking jumbled.

Q

I don't like the space, but I love the pants hangers used in place of clipboards - I like when things are used in interesting or unique ways so my work space doesn't look so staid.

Q

This looks a bit cluttered, but I love cool fabrics covering otherwise utilitarian objects, like shelves and corkboards...

Q

I hate how cheap everything here looks - cheap plastic, etc. - but I do like how things are organized. I think it might be nice to have a craft area on the opposite wall as my work space so the kids can color while I work.

Q

I like the idea of swapping out the normal interior door with a French door so that while I'm working I can see the kids while they're playing.

Q

The cubbies, with proper sizes for the papers, etc. are awesome. The colors are blah, though - I just like how organized it is.

Q

I like the contrast color on the back of the bookcase to break up all the white. I hate the chair.

Q

I actually hate most of this room, but I love the idea of the little bench for the kids to sit in while I work.

Q

I definitely want a chalkboard wall, or at least a portion of chalkboard wall, in the office - I'm pretty scatterbrained and want to be able to write things down immediately without losing my post-its. I also love the chair. I hate normal office chairs.
