Furniture Design Dilemma home office

Need Help Regarding Home Office

3 years ago

Hi, I am a life coach and spiritual counselor by profession and I use to conduct sessions in my office. I have recently told some clients to visit me at my home. For that purpose I have made an home office. Now, I really like this design of this home office [1]. the only thing which I want to replace on my side is the setty/bench with a sofa. What is the size of the setty in the picture? I want to replace with a same size couch or sofa as it is more comfortable for client because of my job nature. Thanks.

Measure the space you have and go shopping and BTW settee is not either of those items one is a window seat and the other a bench , which one are you wanting to replace?

As mentioned above, measure space and I think you may want a settee for its back support vs a bench. Decide on an armless style or not, length, and the color and then start your search. If not shopping in person, be sure to read reviews around comfort and durability

Yes, the .doc extension is a standard Microsoft Word file extension, although the new format uses .docx. When you're using LibreOffice though, by default it will save to its own format as .odt. To change so that it always saves to a Microsoft format (for working with others), go to : Tools>Options>Load/Save>General>Document type .. Always save as or Preferences... -> load/save-> general -> always save as -> choose Saving Documents by Default in Microsoft Office Formats

I would take advantage of the bookcases and incorporate your desk there, so there is more open space. Bookcases could go on a side wall or opposite his desk, depending on room’s configuration. May even be able to add a comfy chair and large art, as you will have an empty wall

I would take out everything you don’t absolutely need and start from there. Be ruthless. In my experience, it’s more comfortable as a guest to sleep on good quality air mattress than most hideabeds. (So if you need justification to get rid of the sofa, you can try that ;) I would also move the printer off the desk (and onto a side table). I’m surprised there is so little paperwork and books. (Maybe that’s hidden). Maybe get a low bookshelf to store stuff like that. I suggest googlIng different offices to see what appeals to you, in terms of functionality and design. Good luck.

Let's experiment a bit. Move the current desk in front of the window. Move the trestle table to where the desk is now. Shove the coffee table out of the way. Put the rug under the office chair space to protect the floor. Move your rolling office chair and stuff into this room and use it for a week. See how it goes. In the short run, you'll need to decide if this is YOUR serious full time business office or a shared space with a shared computer where you have to consider someone else's preferences. Do you have a separate work computer? Do you use a computer every workday from 9 to 5?

The size really depends on whether you will ever want the patient to lie down...how much room you have...and the style of the furnishings in the room....also how relaxed or alert the client needs to be...
