This week at Angel + Blame we're taking a look at the
various kinds of work spaces in the home. Whether it's a whole room dedicated to
the cause, or just a little corner of a room, it's always vital to make sure
that the space is well executed to ensure the best working environment; whether
you're running an entire business out of your home or organizing a hectic
family life, the space you work in has to be just right. We've put together a
little ABC of what we think makes a great study or work space, and a few
examples of some previous spaces that Angel + Blame have created for a little
inspiration!
Often we find ourselves having to double up a room's
function, and so a study may also need to be a spare room as well. Less is
always more in these situations and what can look amazing is a beautiful
antique writing desk, placed nicely in the corner of a room, making it not just
a functional piece of furniture, but decorative as well.
If your style is more contemporary and an antique desk doesn't meet the bar, there are heaps of stylish, modern desks out there. A few of my favorites on the market at the moment come from Gilmore Space and Colombo
This desk Gilmore Space is a beautiful, strong design,
making it the perfect piece for the focal point of a whole study, or as a
singular piece in a multi-functional room; it offers functionality whilst still
maintaining style.
If you wanted something with a more industrial look to it,
this Artisan desk by Lombok would make a great feature piece in any room, and
has a minimalist, no clutter kind of feel to it.
If you're carrying out important and professional work in your workspace then it's essential to make sure that your surroundings can accommodate your needs, from walls to furniture everything plays a key role in making you as work-productive as possible but also evoking the right setting to visitors (be it clients or business partners).
Angle poise lamps are an iconic design in the world of
lighting, and they won't be bested when it comes to those late night work
sessions. This season Angle poise teamed up with designer Paul Smith to create
some ultra-sleek designs. There a great addition to any study to keep morale
levels high and add a little retro style to your surroundings
When creating an office inside of a home having a flexible seating arrangement is great for accommodating extra bodies when need be. Depending on the level of formality needed, armchairs and sofas can make the space look fantastic. Angel + Plume created this space for a client to work as both a media room and as an office.
Below is a perfect example of how to create a work space
For a more relaxed arrangement in your work space, adding a few cushions into the mix will make your work seem a lot less strenuous. Everything Matthew Williamson does for Osborne & Little is outstanding and his cushions are no exception!
A great piece from Rocket St George is this gorgeous embossed brass cabinet, which is perfect for containing all your files whilst still looking beautiful
t's always important to give yourself a little treat when
you're working hard, and this may take the form of a little bit of artwork to
gaze at every so often and have a sneaky daydream. Bard Art always has great
pieces by amazing artists, and with quite a diverse range everyone is likely to
find something to take their fancy. One of my favorites is this 'Running
Cheetah' by Lucy Kinsella, perfect for placing on the end of your desk
Another favorite is this dreamy landscape piece by Felicity O'Keeffe, which will be a great little detox for the mind in times of stress!
