Home office door advice needed
Would love ideas on a office door- it’s the door to the right of the front door- which is black iron and as you can see, has a lot of detail. There will be a solid white door leading the basement right next to the office. We want an office door with glass (maybe 18 lite bc this door is so big) but I’m not sure if it’s too busy with the front door and if it should also be iron, white or stained. Any advice is really appreciated!

Home Office Paint Color Advice
Comments (3)If you want the office trim painted white you will need to decide if you want that throughout your entire home. We think the navy idea is really unique but what is the rest of your home like? Would it make sense to do that? If you wanted the grey do you have a lot a of grey in your home already? Ask yourself some of those questions and you should figure out what you want easier....See MoreNeed advice on new home construction - home office
Comments (5)If you decide you aren’t going to have the desk against a wall, put a floor outlet in now so that you don’t have cables running across the floor. I did a floor plan with my desk and rug then figured out where I would need sockets....See MoreNew house - home office advice needed!
Comments (4)I'm going to join in on the "warming" trend. Do you actually work from home? There is a difference from actually WORKING and working. If your work depends on it, then the room needs to be productive and comfortable. If it's not a full time job, then you have more options based on your preferences. It looks like a nice sized space. If you are going to be doing Zoom meetings or anything where the wall behind you is in view, consider the color and decor for THAT wall to be especially important. Maybe a focal color as a good backdrop to shelves, artwork, or credentials. Where did you get the sofa? I really like it and it looks to be about the right size and color for MY home office, lol so anything you can tell me about it would be appreciated!...See Moreseeking advice on crafting a sweet home office / man "attic"
Comments (5)Re: computer desk area in the nook ... What about a floating desk? Not this exact one, as you need something bigger, but just an idea of what I mean: https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/latitude-run-burgeo-reversible-floating-desk-w002115883.html It would free up floor space, could go on the wall opposite the closet door, and you’d still have your nice view. It’d be awesome if you could get one custom made, in a natural wood tone. You could also do something like this, going around the corner and under the window. Except unlike this example, your big, bulky items on the wall part, papers and low stuff under window to not block views. And you could add shelves above, if needed. If you’re interested in these sorts of set-ups, search ‘floating desks’. The only issue would be hiding cords somehow, but if you search ‘hiding computer cords’, lots of ideas come up. I think a wood accent wall with your TV would look very cool up there. You have plenty of natural light to do something like this....See Moreeverdebz

2 years agoThank you both! This is a new build and its just framed at this point. I have to make a decison about the door now bc ot takes forever to ship. This is the door I originally picked for the office but Im wondering if it will compete with the front door. My other option is an 18 lite white french door. I wonder if 18 lites on each side will be too much with the diamond pattern on my front door.

2 years agoWith the front door being traditional, I’d look for doors that have the same feel, due to their proximity. As well, given the white door being close, white might work best.
To pull in the black, see below.
