A home office off the kitchen can be concealed with a pocket door. Gray-painted maple Wood-Mode cabinetry complements the kitchen finishes but makes the space unique. **Project Overview** A small, quiet, efficient office space for one that is perfect for sorting mail and paying bills. Though small it has a great deal of natural light and views out the front of the house of the lush landscaping and wildlife. A pocket door makes the office disappear when it's time to entertain. **What Makes This Project Unique?** Small yet incredibly functional, this desk space is a comfortable, quiet place to catch up on home management tasks. Filled with natural light and offering a view of lush landscaping, the compact space is light and airy. To keep it from feeling cramped or crowded, we complemented warm gray-painted maple cabinetry with light countertops and tile. Taller ceilings allow ample storage, including full-height open storage, to manage all of the papers, files and extras that find their way into the home. **Design Challenges** While the office was intentionally designed into a tiny nook off the kitchen and pantry, we didn't want it to feel small for the people using it. By keeping the color palette light, taking cabinetry to the ceiling, incorporating open storage and maximizing natural light, the space feels cozy, and larger than it actually is.

This project highlights how to maximize efficiency in narrow and compact entryways. The main purpose of this custom Timberlux piece is to combine functionality with visual lightness without cluttering the entrance area. Project Features: Floating Wall Console: The wall-mounted drawer unit keeps the floor completely clear. This design technique lightens the interior, prevents the lower level of the room from feeling cramped, and makes daily cleaning much easier. Functional Storage: The compact wooden console serves as a convenient organizer for keeping small essentials like keys, documents, and accessories neatly out of sight right by the door. Textural Contrast: The rich, expressive grain of the natural wood stands out beautifully against the minimalist light walls, adding a premium feel and natural warmth to the space.The console was custom-built to match the exact geometry of the hallway, perfectly fitting around the existing layout and electrical outlets.

Our client tasked us with creating a versatile workspace for their family, including a daughter in college. Space was at a premium in their downtown loft, so we needed to create an efficient space that could be changed in the future to fulfill other needs. Our solution was a custom metal desk on casters, topped with concrete quartz. The office has little natural light, so white lacquered cabinets and metallic wallpaper were used to add life to the space.
