YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Interiors Work that space Home office ideas to inspire remote workers By You Magazine - January 20, 2019 With around half of us predicted to ditch the commute for the perks of working remotely by 2020 – yes, next year! – now’s the time to create an inspiring home-office. The hidden hub Megan Taylor, 2LG/John Lewis of Hungerford In this cool and colourful kitchen, the office area is concealed cleverly behind floor-to-ceiling cabinetry; the central doors open to reveal a surprise workplace. The desk chair is from Menu (menu.as). For a similar blue paint colour, go to Mylands (mylands.com). The home library Paul Massey This mezzanine study acts as both a library and an office. The striking blue-black paint – Railings by Farrow & Ball – is softened by the natural light from the window. The desk is from Oka (oka.com) and the swivel chair is a vintage Eames EA 217. The storage solver Petra Bindel. Styling: Tina Hellberg/House of Pictures Declutter your floor and make your walls work harder by using one as a noticeboard. Pin up reminders, calendars, mementos and photographs to create a unique workplace. For cork board rolls in varying lengths and thickness, try Boards Direct (boardsdirect.co.uk). The Conran Shop (conranshop.co.uk) sells tan leather desk chairs. The desk light is by Anglepoise (anglepoise.com). For a similar corner desk, try Habitat (habitat.co.uk). The nook Sjoerd Eickmans. Styling: Kim Van Rossenberg/VTWONEN The physical separation of the work area in this room gives a sense of privacy and enclosure when needed. Wall hooks have been added to keep the desk area clear. For similar painted tongue-and-groove panelling, try Neptune (neptune.com). The crafty corner Maree Homer/Bauer Media/Camera Press Creating a moodboard – a collage or composition of images and materials aimed to inspire and focus your ideas – is a cost-effective way to add personality to a home-office space. Here postcards from travels and hobbies are showcased against a muted colour palette. The area underneath the desk even doubles as a dog bed. For a similar wooden desk, try John Lewis (johnlewis.com). The accent wall Marcus Lawett A black accent wall sounds intense, but this moody tone complements the white furniture, making it appear brighter. The monochromatic colour scheme provides a sense of cohesion and draws the eye away from the office paraphernalia to create a slick-looking space. The wall storage units are all from String (string.se). For similar desks, try Aram (aram.co.uk). For similar desk chairs, try Arper (arper.com). Bright ideas Nassima Rothacker.
