calgary black gloss corner desk starter package

One of the rooms that often times if not always threatens the overall look
and feel of a home is the home office. With more and more people working
from home in spare rooms,  bijou nooks or trying to intergrate home offices
into day to day  living spaces it can feel a bit of a challenge. However
fear not there are a number of tricks of the trade that us designers use to
turn such spaces from being ordinary to extraordinary.

Home office furniture is often times ugly (think desks, chairs,  lamps,
filing cabinets and so on) so I would recommend thinking outside of the box.
For example my desk in my studio at home is an old ornately carved Georgian
table which I picked up at a flea market for a song and have sprayed glossy
teal. Rather than partnering it with a horrible office chair i have coupled
it with a super sweet retro one that looks funky and creates an interesting
dialogue. 

Heaped on my desk are little piles of books where little posies
and scented candles hang out together along with a a fabulous vintage Italian
lamp. It softens the look. Next up, house scanners and printers behind doors
(in bookcases or cupboards) or plonk on sufaces and then accessorise around
to distract the eye. Finally add warmth,  layer rugs across floors, heap
throws over chairs and add cushions. Cosy comfort coupled with functional
practicality is the name of the game.
