Office / Study – J Terrian Designs

Office / Den

The modern office can also be referred to as the den. This space can be a traditional office with desk and shelves, or it can be another get away spot that doubles as a workspace and a second TV watching area with sofa or large chairs. It can be a guest bedroom if it has a pullout sofa, bath, and closet. I usually put this space towards the front of the house but t it can go anywhere depending on how it’s used.

Design Tips:

As in most areas, think about furniture, art, trophies, books, and any other needs for this space.
Are you going to conduct business in this office?
Do you tend to leave clutter out? If so, maybe place this room away from guests.
Do you want built in shelves and furniture or store-bought furniture?
Do you need file storage?
Is your computer a laptop or a large CPU desktop with large driver under cabinet?
Think about a closet for storage, printer and other office supplies.
Ceiling details can be spacious and clean lines or rustic with beams and other wood details.
Do you want pocket doors off the foyer or a single door off the hallway?
Do you see this area near the master suite (privacy) or closer to the main living areas (public area) of house?

Bonus Tips:

Have multiple lighting for both reading and watching TV.
One solution to clutter is to put desk/clutter within a joined closet space, leaving the rest of room looking clean.
Consider natural light if watching TV is a major activity.
Possible floor plug which includes Cat 5 for a floating desk.
