The Challenge
The homeowner needed to convert a spare bedroom into a permanent home office. They wanted extensive storage for books, supplies, and equipment, but didn't want the room to feel cluttered or institutional. The space also needed to accommodate video calls with a presentable background.
Our Solution
We designed a floor-to-ceiling built-in system with a combination of open shelving, closed cabinets, and a floating desk. The open shelving creates visual interest for video calls while cabinets hide office supplies. Cable management was integrated throughout.
Project Goals
The client works from home full-time and needed a dedicated office space. The spare room had potential but lacked any built-in storage or character. They wanted something that would look professional on video calls while providing serious storage capacity.
Design Approach
We created a symmetrical design centered around the window, with the desk positioned to benefit from natural light while keeping the client’s back to a styled shelf section during calls.
