Creating a Home Office

~ Showhome Furniture

Even if you don’t have a job that requires you to work from home, everyone should have one (or more) little corners set aside in their home for creating, working and dreaming. This can be a reclaimed secretary that holds pride-of-place in your living room, or a small desk tucked under a window at the end of a hall. It can even be a space that you have to share with others and other functions from time to time, like part of the dining room table or a counter in the laundry room. These spaces help your home function as it should.


All of us have correspondence we need to take care of and having a place and system for mail, bills etc is crucial to our people of mind. If your house lacks a formal office, you might find that your bedroom offers you the peace and isolation you need for creative writing. By casting a critical eye over each area of your home, you will likely find spots that will work for your family.I In limited space, you could use a fold down desk, or a rolling table. Bookshelves are great in almost any room, not only for favorite reading material, but to help keep records, files and current projects all in one place

You don’t have to be a super organized person to enjoy like a measure of order so that you don’t become a stressed-out disaster. Choosing furniture pieces that are both beautiful and functional (and scaled to your space) will ensure your office space meets your needs. If you liven it up with favorite finds and eclectic decor pieces, you’ll find yourself enjoying being there even if you don’t enjoy what you have to do.

Even in those homes with a additional family gathering spaces, a living room can fill many functions and should be decorated to enhance its variety of uses. Often, it’s the first place guests see and should be a great introduction to the rest of your home, setting a foundation for your particular style.

Ideas To Consider In Your Living Room Design

  • Proper mixing of textures and patterns can be a striking success when you follow a simple color palette. You can’t go wrong with a themed or even an all-white space. However, bring in some variety of textures to stop the feeling of being inside a hospital.
  • Place your sofa under a large window allowing sunlight and outdoor mood be the center point of an otherwise neutral spot.
  • Insert a character into your space with dynamic hues and trendy secondhand finds. Along with your sectional sofa or other major upholstered pieces, add vintage finds like bits of architectural salvage or cabinets of reclaimed wood for a more intriguing blend of old and new.
  • Present tradition with a twist. At Showhome Furniture we carry many unique pieces that can establish the mood and style of a room. Try the OLSEN corner seat, THE TABACCO couch, RIO COOL armchair and HILTON loveseat and instantly you set a direction for the rest of the room.

 

Achieve some drama by adding inexpensive art pieces. Give a random variety of artwork a museum-worthy approach by hanging them collectively on one wall. Update accessories with a few new components each season to give your room a fresh look.
