Comments (9)Hello. You have a very busy floor and I would suggest solid colored surfaces you add. I like the idea of a drafting desk rather than the natural pattern I have seen in live edge wood. Also, if the reclaimed wood doors are similar in color to your floors, it think it would be overload....See MorePaint color for executive video meetings, skin tone
Comments (15)My favorite color expert is Mother Nature. If your husband looks good in greens the browns should play well with his wardrobe and the combination should send the right message based on your assessment of his work. Make sure to get the appropriate lighting for his face. My office has great over head lighting over my desk (300 watts of 5000 k lighting). Does wonders for my concentration and innovation - similar to think tank lighting, but is awful for video conferencing - throws downward shadows and is way to harsh - washes me out (fair skin and dark hair). I resemble some sort of ghoulish Disney witch. I work with data quality control and data analytics and am usually just sharing numbers and data visualizations during meetings, but there is a push at work for people to use video conferencing. The company just sent me an independent camera after I explained that I keep my laptop closed and under my floating desktop and just have multiple monitors on my desk. I guess I will need to address the lighting. Thinking I may also have to update my wardrobe . . . the executives may not be impressed with my large collection of pajamas....See MoreUnder stairs office ideas/solutions
Comments (15)I think it's smart to take advantage of the space, especially for something you will use and enjoy. The fireplace and seating will be a nice way to make it cozy too. Carefully measure the stair rise and how you'll be able to maneuver underneath. The short, low side of the "U" may not provide enough headroom for writing but may be fine for storage. Instead of a cabinet protruding out, capture the space under the stairs by countersinking drawers or shelves underneath. The long side is a good place for your monitor(s) and all the electrical connections to drop. Figure out how to get any loose electronics like modem, printer, etc behind cabinet doors on the low corner so you keep a sleek, tidy look and again, be sure to allow enough head and leg room for your chair and main work surface on the higher side. Desks are notorious for needing multiple power connections, get plenty of surge proof outlets. This is a great place to consider creative lighting too. If the stairs will have risers, it's going to be darker underneath. Open shelves above the desk with LED strips can brighten it, or a beautiful piece of artwork with a picture light above and a desk lamp are possibilities too. You could consider lighting the angle of the stairs, hanging a pendant light, etc. I'd be inclined to leave the adjoining spaces open but you know what you'll see from various vantage points. What will you see entering the room or climbing the stairs? Will a divider create a nice separation or possibly an awkward transition looking from above if the stairs will be open to the spaces below?...See MoreAdvice/ideas for upstairs loft/office space!
Comments (36)II like the desk entirely hidden behind that wall, but this is better for Zoom calls. You need to be facing a window for the natural light to be on your face. You can use a ring light on cloudy/rainy days but if it is sunny, use the natural light. That also leaves the wall to your left for a new office storage piece like a credenza or file cabinet. If the glare from those windows bothers you when working, get some custom bamboo shades at Lowe's in a shade that picks up the caramel color in the rug. A new ceiling lamp and a brass floor lamp for the corner by the sofa will look great.Move the round brass table to the entry side of the sofa for a bit of bling to be seen as one comes into the space. Also add a lamp to your desk. Try not to use the ceiling light, for a warm and cozy feeling. Ceiling lights are great for seeing how to clean the space, but they do not enhance the ambiance unless they are interesting to look at. And speaking of visual interest, the map isn't that. If you need it for your work tasks, move it close to the desk. I would be something fun and colorful to hang 5" above the sofa. Don't forget a trash basked if you don't have a shredder....See Morecawaps
