Second are those who want a designated, aesthetic space that inspires productivity and has a luxurious feel. If you’re the latter, you’ve come to the right place. In our previous blog, we spoke about how you can create a stylish home office. However, in this blog, we want to talk about how you can convert your office into a luxurious haven. Something like what you’ve seen in the movies. A swanky desk and chair, great lighting and minimalist elements.
Tips to Create a Modern-inspired Home Office
Did you know? When your home office aligns with the aesthetic of the rest of your home, it sparks inspiration and channels success. If you’re an upcoming interior designer or architect studying a BSc. in Interior Design and Decoration Program, you need to consider these very important tips that will help you create a functional, practical and good-looking home office:
Embrace an open layout
We don’t know if anybody has told you this but layout matters. A crammed layout is never considered luxurious. A key feature in contemporary design is going with an open layout. Consider something large and free-flowing. It’s more conducive to creativity and will let the ideas flow. For instance, if you’re facing a space constraint, a wall-mounted desk is a good idea. It will make the space look larger.
Elegant and sophisticated furniture
While an ergonomic chair is a no-brainer, it should be built for comfort and style. Invest in a high-end chair that is made of fine leather or velvet. When high-quality upholstery is combined with elegant craftsmanship, your space will instantly look luxurious. Once you’ve selected a chair, consider a statement desk. It is usually the focal point of a home office. A few finishes you can consider are marble, wood or polished metal. A unique design usually enhances the aesthetic of a home. You don’t have to always go in for a traditional desk. You can even choose a quirky design that is sleek yet modern.
If there is enough space in your study, you can even have a pair of accent chairs. Ideal for when you have anybody visiting. A desk with a few coffee table books also looks nice. If not an accent chair, investing in a plush sofa is also a great idea.
High-quality furnishings
As much as furniture is important, furnishings matter as well. If you can capitalise on natural light, nothing like it. However, make sure your desk is positioned in such a way that the sun’s glare does not hit your face. If there is too much natural light, you will have to invest in high-quality furnishings. You can go in for curtains or Roman blinds. However, blinds look better in an office. You can roll it up whenever you feel like. Consider blush fabrics and heavy drapes. It should literally scream luxury. You can even opt for translucent window treatments or automated blinds.
Luxury storage solutions
Sophisticated storage solutions are an absolute must in a home office. Think custom-built shelves, spacious cabinets and open bookcases. The material you choose for the cabinets and other storage solutions should exude a luxurious appeal. When anybody sees it, they should instantly say “wow”. If your space is small, hidden storage options can also be explored. You can even switch to innovative organisational solutions in order to maintain a clutter-free environment.
Art & Décor
What’s a luxurious office without some art and décor? To show your staff and business associates that you’re well-versed with art, it may be a good idea to install a few art pieces, paintings or even decorative accessories. The best way to add personality to your space is by adding a large piece of modern artwork. Even a sculpture or gallery wall works. In terms of desk accessories, invest in leather or marble trays, crystal paperweights or consider adding a world map or globe on your desk. An hour glass also adds a lot of character.
To improve the air quality of your home office, plants are also a great idea. Consider indoor palms or succulents. However, to give a luxurious feel, an elegant planter is an absolute no-brainer.
Smart Tech
For a home office to be truly functional, you need the best technological solutions. Built-in charging stations, wireless chargers, hidden outlets for charging and smart lighting are a few things you should consider. You can also add some smart office tools or wellness gadgets such as a refrigerator or air-purifier. However, on the productivity front, a computer monitor, reliable WIFI, ample data storage, a scanner and a printer are a few must-haves.
