Contemporary Home Office, Hertfordshire
For my clients who lead busy professional lives, working from home can often mean work bleeds into every corner of the house. In this St Albans project, I reimagined a spare bedroom as a strategic retreat – a place to find focus and then leave it behind.
I designed sophisticated blue-grey cabinets alongside natural wood texture panels and caramel leather, to create a calming, quiet atmosphere that helps lower the heart rate for a productive day. Whilst the bespoke cabinetry houses the bulk of the office "admin," I kept the essentials – like the printer – accessible but integrated into the overall aesthetic.
By creating a dedicated, curated space, it’s much easier for the brain to switch from "Work" mode to "Home" and ultimately, a study shouldn't just be about where you work: it should be about how you want to feel when the laptop finally closes.
