New Additions to Home Office, or: A Full Room Gets More Crowded

Comments (13)Thanks for all the comments. My wife just cannot get over the modern look of Ikea. We've decided to go a different route entirely. While visiting a friend, she noticed their home office was a converted dining room as well. Similar to ours - hard wood floors, chair rail, crown molding. This person had two beautiful antique barrister bookcases, a small leather couch, a tastefully done large desk, and a oriental rug. It was nicely pulled together. So we are dropping the Ikea route and considering a partners desk with two sets of barrister bookshelves. Perhaps something like this: To answer the other questions: - this is just a home office for the family - the ideal space should accommodate, a PC, laptop and printer (and shredder) One option if the antique desks are too expensive: we have a custom Amish furniture maker local. He said he would make whatever we want. I'm curious to hear how much he would charge. Even the Ikea stuff added up to $2,000 - $3,000.

Comments (10)I have a tiny little office -- about 7 x 9 -- though with fabulous windows and a balcony. Personally, I LOVE the smallness of the space, as if feels just perfect for one person working alone. Now, when I have visitors, I do feel 'invaded', because it's a ONE-BUTT space ;-) As a potential home buyer, I'd really discount a house with a 10 x 13' living room. That's not NEARLY big enough to be useful. So for that reason, I'd suggest looking at furniture solutions instead of walls. There are some great wall units that can work well for an office, then close up to hide the mess. (And you can take them with you when you leave.) Could a pair of barn doors (exterior mount 'pocket' doors) be used to separate the living room from the family room to give you the noise-insulation you need?...See MoreIdeas to decorate home office
Comments (15)Great ideas.. Thanks!! I agree, I'm planning not to paint the panels since that also seems to be a unanimous decision :) I'm planning to rip off that old carpet and put in hardwood. Fabric shades and co-ordinating window seating sounds like a fantastic idea. I love the antique fireplace cover idea. Any good sites for that ? I love chesterfield sofas too. I have a oriental rug in maroon, but that might make the room darker. Will have to look for a lighter rug......See Morejanecarey62
