Home Office Design

In the modern world, the home office is an essential part of the living space, but one where function tends to win over design when in fact there is no need for this competition. It is perfectly feasible to have a well designed home office with good leather furniture that is comfortable to sit on while carrying out your work. Your desk need not be a wobbly creation of plywood and spindly legs, but a work of art, crafted from solid hardwood with fine cherry veneers, set off with some classical decorative hardware.

Beautiful leather furniture is always in fashion, never looking out of place amidst any form of fine furniture, and a solid wood veneered desk would not look right without a lovely leather upholstered chair to go with it. You could also have a library system installed along one wall, configured to suit your needs, including space not only for books, but also for a modern sound system or entertainment center.

Your solid wood and veneered home home office can stand on a carpet of your choosing, or perhaps a wooden floor: not the thin laminates that many seem to use these days, but solid wood parquet blocks, put together just as you want them. If you are designing your home office with beautiful fine furniture then the furnishings and flooring should be of equal quality. In fact, many prefer their flooring to be parquet with a carpet square to reduce some of the noise that a wooden floor can cause, or even a carpet square with felt surround is popular with many people.
