Stylish Home Office Designs



No matter the size, your family's home office can be functional and free of clutter. Below are some of the home offices to find pretty and practical design ideas and simple solutions for staying organized.
 
Family First Focus

This home office is the perfect fit for an active family. A pair of corner desks and mix-and-match modular storage units line the walls, keeping the room open and providing plenty of work space for each member of the family. The versatile modular units can configure to store just about anything. White, beaded-board panelling wraps around the room, making the space brighter and creating additional storage on the deep ledge.

Put Walls To Work 


Taking advantage of vertical space in the room, an acrylic pegboard keeps office essentials in order. By removing these items from the desktop, the work space remains free of clutter.

Lovely Living Room Office 


This small living room can accommodate work, relaxation, and entertaining without feeling disorganized. Clever furniture arrangement left one of the walls open for a stylish and smart home office.

Dramatic Desk 


A long desk along one of the walls serves as the home office. The desk offers plenty of work space for two or more people. A convenient file cabinet on wheels keeps mail, bills, and work essentials organized and hidden, allowing stylish details to fill the table top and blend with the rest of the living room. When the homeowner has guests over, the area can easily transform into a buffet or bar for a special occasion.

Functional Furniture 


This pretty and practical home office makes work time enjoyable. A modular desk unit (consisting of separate base cabinets, corner desk, and hutch) offers plenty of counter and storage space. These furniture pieces are perfect for families because the separate units look like custom furniture, yet they are easy to rearrange and can grow as needed.

Vaastu Tips for Study & Children’s Room



  • The apt direction for constructing children's room is west. North or East directions can also be used for constructing kid’s room.Vastu for children room suggests that a married couple should not use East direction bedroom. There is no problem if an unmarried child uses that room.
  • The colour scheme should be mild.
  • Don’t place the furniture sticking to the wall, as it obstructs the flow of positive energy.
  •  Bed can be placed in the southwest corner. As a part of it is recommended to avoid placing the mirror just on the opposite side of the bed. While sleeping children should place their head at east side and legs towards west side, this is good for intelligence, knowledge and memory. Your child not have his or her head in north direction while sleeping, it is supposed to be bad for knowledge and memory power. If you have more children and need more rooms, construct bedrooms at southwest , south, west, vayavya, agneya, north and east sides. You should not have children's room in the eshan corner.
  •  The study desk should be placed in such a manner that the child faces eastern, northern or north-eastern corner while studying. East is the most appropriate direction, as it paves way for enhanced concentration. The books should always be kept in south-west, south or west as lots of books and papers in study room create clutter and mental pressure.
  • Avoid placing the electronic gadgets like TV and Computer in the kids' bedroom. But still if you wish to install one, then for computer, the right place is Southeast corner and for TV, Northwest corner would be fine.
  • Almirahs and cabinets should be located in south or west direction.
  • Use up-lighters at south-east corner in children’s room as it is good for health and generates positive energy. Never use sharp lights and spot lights as it creates mental strain.
  • Color affects mood and every aspect of life. Green colour is ideally recommended for children’s room as it gives freshness, peace and increases brain power.
  •  The door of children room should be in the East or the North. Windows in the East and North of the room are beneficial.

Some Stunning Designs To Spruce Up Your Home Walls!



Sick of staring at a cold, stark, empty wall? Infuse it with warmth and style by adding creative artwork.

Stylish Silhouettes

To put a culinary-inspired twist on the classic silhouette, use cut outs of cooking utensils and appliances as the subject matter for kitchen wall decor. These cut-outs are backed with photocopied pages from an old cookbook, allowing them to blend easily with the kitchen's country style. The pieces stand out against the wall with crisp black frames in varying widths and are arranged in a neat, balanced composition.

Attention Grabber

Draw attention to unique accessories with an oversize piece of artwork. This massive print embraces the contemporary typography trend and draws the eye toward a modern transparent console table. To keep the arrangement looking grounded and intentional, it's been flanked by a pair of industrial-style sconces.

DIY Botanical Prints

Update the classic look of botanical prints with this easy DIY project. Silk or plastic greenery is laid on a blank canvas and a coat of spray paint creates the reverse silhouette. A special material called frisket (available in the model-building section of a crafts store) gives the pieces a unique irregular border.

Artsy Calendars

Who says calendars can't function as artwork, too? To create the look, remove the glass from a store-bought picture frame, line the inside of the frame with a piece of scrapbook paper, then adhere the calendar to the paper. To allow easy change-out from month to month, look for a calendar that has tear-off pages.

A Bit of Nature

Bring the great outdoors inside with artwork. This sunny sitting room includes a large bay window that offers magnificent views of the outside, making these small butterfly prints blend right in on a blank wall. The bright colours on the butterflies' wings add a needed splash of colour to the mostly neutral room and coordinate perfectly with other accessories and decor.
