a workspace that belongs at home

a workspace at home should belong to the interior while supporting the tasks it needs to accommodate. this 2018 archive reflection begins with a clear position, useful storage and furniture chosen for everyday use.

establish the setting

a separate room is not always necessary. assess daylight, noise, access to power and the relationship with the rest of the home before placing a desk. our residential interior design work in melbourne considers a workspace within the wider plan.

design storage around the work

papers, equipment and cables need an accessible place. custom joinery can integrate drawers, shelving and concealed storage with the desk, keeping proportions and finishes connected to the room.

make space for character

art, a familiar object or a carefully chosen textile can make the setting personal. select these details with the same attention as the furniture, leaving the working surface clear enough for its purpose.

connect the palette

take colour cues from existing timber, flooring and adjoining spaces. test finishes under the light where the desk will sit. colour consultation helps resolve the palette without relying on a fixed rule about what a workspace should look like.

choose for use

a chair should be tried with the desk and selected for the tasks and time spent in it. assess adjustment, support, clearance and the position of lighting alongside appearance.

our furniture selection service brings these practical requirements together with the design of the room, allowing the workspace to feel considered and complete.
