Stylish study spaces: how to work from home in style

A home office is something that, I didn’t realise, I needed to have until I had it. Since starting my business, needing a quiet space to edit and focus has been a priority. Prior to my recent office renovation, the space was just a dark, unwelcoming, which basically functioned as a storage room. Now there is light, there is character and it’s a room I am proud of. It’s a space that makes me want to spend time in… it’s my happy space!

I wanted a style of office that wouldn’t date. An office that was modern and matched the style of our home. We have a lot of white, but I love that the grey in the Loras Velvet Fabric 2 Seater adds a sophisticated feature to the space (and it is really, really comfortable). The Stratten MK2 Swivel Desk has open shelving, providing space to add décor and make the office look ‘full’ without having a cluttered feel. The bookcase adds the same effect as well by completing one side of the room. The bookcase is the only piece of furniture on the opposite side of the room and because of the open, staggered shelving, minimal items placed on these shelves gives a look of completion without needing anything else. These ‘open’ furniture options tick all the boxes of creating a space that didn’t feel boxed in and with ‘chunks’ of furniture in the small space. Instead, it’s open and feels larger because of the open shelving on both the desk and bookcase.
