Transitional home office photo in Houston

Trying to find a quiet corner in one's house for an office can be tough, but it also can be an adventure! Reworking spaces in our homes so that they work better for our families as they grow and change is something we all need to do from time to time-- and it can give your house a new lease on life. One room that took on a new identity in this old farmhouse was the third floor attic space--a room that is much like a treehouse with its small footprint, high perch, lofty views of the landscape, and sloping ceiling. The space has been many things over the past two decades- a bedroom, a guest room, a hang-out for kids... but NOW it is the 'world headquarters' for my client's business. :) Adding all the funky touches that make it a cozy personal space made all the difference...like lots of live green plants, vintage original artwork, architectural salvage window sashes, a repurposed and repainted dresser from the 1940's, and, of course, my client's favorite photos.

Home office - mid-sized contemporary home office idea in New York

The shared office space allows families to expand their home based business while kids to surf the net and complete homework. Using painted shaker doors to hide file storage and paperwork with shared printer and cork boards provides the family with ample space to get their work done. Rustic barn doors add interest and conceal the space when not in use.

Just across the hall, a former guest room-turned-office now serves as a personalized work-from-home hub. The closet was removed to make space for a custom built-in desk with drawers, a roll-out printer cabinet, and a wood desktop with matching open shelving above. This setup blends closed and open storage, creating a beautiful yet practical space for writing, crafting, and everyday work.

When an international client moved from Brazil to Stamford, Connecticut, they reached out to Decor Aid, and asked for our help in modernizing a recently purchased suburban home. The client felt that the house was too “cookie-cutter,” and wanted to transform their space into a highly individualized home for their energetic family of four. In addition to giving the house a more updated and modern feel, the client wanted to use the interior design as an opportunity to segment and demarcate each area of the home. They requested that the downstairs area be transformed into a media room, where the whole family could hang out together. Both of the parents work from home, and so their office spaces had to be sequestered from the rest of the house, but conceived without any disruptive design elements. And as the husband is a photographer, he wanted to put his own artwork on display. So the furniture that we sourced had to balance the more traditional elements of the house, while also feeling cohesive with the husband’s bold, graphic, contemporary style of photography. The first step in transforming this house was repainting the interior and exterior, which were originally done in outdated beige and taupe colors. To set the tone for a classically modern design scheme, we painted the exterior a charcoal grey, with a white trim, and repainted the door a crimson red. The home offices were placed in a quiet corner of the house, and outfitted with a similar color palette: grey walls, a white trim, and red accents, for a seamless transition between work space and home life. The house is situated on the edge of a Connecticut forest, with clusters of maple, birch, and hemlock trees lining the property. So we installed white window treatments, to accentuate the natural surroundings, and to highlight the angular architecture of the home. In the entryway, a bold, graphic print, and a thick-pile sheepskin rug set the tone for this modern, yet comfortable home. While the formal room was conceived with a high-contrast neutral palette and angular, contemporary furniture, the downstairs media area includes a spiral staircase, comfortable furniture, and patterned accent pillows, which creates a more relaxed atmosphere. Equipped with a television, a fully-stocked bar, and a variety of table games, the downstairs media area has something for everyone in this energetic young family.

Inspiration for a large transitional built-in desk dark wood floor and brown floor home office remodel in Calgary with gray walls

A very small entry was reworked for multiple uses in this vacation home. Tall cabinetry provides storage for sweaters, beach chairs, etc. A small bench and drawer provides a place for shoe removal and the computer desk incorporates a hidden space for the printer as well as a file drawer.

This guest room was large enough to accommodate both a work space for two and the client's queen size bed. The drawers are file cabinets with the lower center cupboard housing printer and modem. Upper display space and closed storage will house many supplies. And the "office" has a peekaboo view of the ocean! Charlie Neuman, photographer
