The office before we started had an L -shaped desk set up with banks of file drawers straight out of Office Depot, very functional, but not attractive. Gail asked me to be involved with the project because I have a natural sense of design especially as it pertains to spaces, I have a lot of experience working with custom cabinetry and how everything should fit together and I draw very detailed plans and elevations which is helpful for the client to see what the end result will look like. The client, SR, was very, very particular, in a good way, that she knew exactly what she wanted and how she liked to work in her office. She also did a lot of crafting and making her own greeting cards so we needed extra storage space to fit her hobby.
I always start with an in depth interview with a client to find out what their desires for the end result are and then work in how the design will function which is just as important in the planning process especially with a home office or a kitchen, as what it will look like.
Gail added the finishing touches with paint, wallpaper, fabric and window treatments.
Needless to say SR is thrilled with the outcome and says it is just a wonderful environment to work in. With a lot of planning you can create a home office that is both functional and has style.
