Have layout sugg's for a home/office room size 10'x10.5'?
This room is part of the basement. The entry to the room, although not shown on these images, will be twin doors that open into the corridor either to a 5' opening, or to a 6' opening if I position the doors a bit off-center, about 10" to the right so both doors have room to open up flat over the outer walls in the corridor.
I need 4 workplaces for computers, and some comfortable seating. Was thinking of using the wall of windows for 3 workplaces.
I also want to include sleeping possibility, wonder if I can fit two beds somehow (pull out sofa, pull out chair...?).
Wracking my brain to see how we can magically make this work in this space.
Any ideas will be SO welcomed!

Comments (8)claire_de_luna, It's good to know a similar layout works great for you! I was concerned it might look great on my drawing paper, but not practical in real life. I wrote down your suggestion about the table lamp. :) Thank you. talley_sue_nyc, We went with a slightly shorter but deeper partners desk, which is 76'' long and 50'' deep, so hopefully it will stick out less (6'' less). We ordered it 2 days ago, and it won't be here until 6-8 months later, but I will keep your quality suggestion in mind when looking for a filing cabinet (or a credenza). We are going to put the two 30'' monitors in the center of the desk, back to back, so my husband and I will be facing the screen, instead of each other. :) About separating papers/notebooks from the computer space -- we are very unorganized at the moment.. we lay out papers on our current temporary desks, as well as on the kitchen counters where the counter stools are.. How to organize papers better is definitely something we should figure out soon....See MoreHome office layout help
Comments (13)ILC: I don't think that the room could handle two hutch desks, seems to me that it would be overpowering. I think every room needs a focal point, be it a fireplace, built-in, bed, or something else. I also think that piece needs to fill a space height-wise, or you have to group something above it to fill the focal point on the wall as well. With a wall of built-ins, then the sofa becomes a balancing focal point. I would look to a custom kitchen cabinet shop for ideas. All better-quality cabinet makers create pieces for a home office. It's a matter of how you arrangement them and what sort of material you use for the surface. Corian is easy to clean and granite would look fabulous, but you can also get stained or painted wood to match the cabinets. Google on it or look at cabinet maker websites for more ideas. No matter what look you go for (old world, modern, traditional, English country, etc), it will be clean and efficient because you design it to fit your requirements. The downside is you don't get to face your partner, but rolling chairs on a hardwood floor can help you there. What a fun project!

My design book suggests 5' is needed for a single desk or each desk arranged side-by-side. There's no way you're going to squish three desks into a 9' space...and where would the fourth desk go? Take a yard stick and imagine that's all the width you had.
You could arrange the desks in pairs perpendicular to the window as shown below. You could use, for example, four IKEA BEKANT 47 1/4 x 31 1/2 Desks. If deep enough, office storage could fit in the closets (example). Are you also going to fit beds in there too? Nope, the desks alone take nearly 8' of space from the window and the room is only 10-1/2' wide.
