Built-In Home Office

After 5 years in their home, our clients were ready for some help to finally figure out how to make their loft space feel right and really work for their multipurpose needs.

​

The home office area felt cramped, cluttered, and dark. As his primary workspace, and her occasional WFH space, they really needed an update.

So, what did IHI do?

• Relocated his home office to the larger side of this multipurpose loft 

• Expanded the desk space with an adjustable height desk and cord-control solutions for a clear workspace

• Designed this built-in bookcase to include much-needed closed storage areas 

• Incorporated open shelving to showcase his prized items and keep resources within a quick reach

• Added a second desk space / landing zone for her occasional use to WFH, pay bills, and charge her laptop

• Installed a beautiful piece of art, as if they were looking through a window

Now, this home office has the executive presence and approachable feel they wanted, and the space for everyone that they needed. Plus, it's a gorgeous sight as they walk up the stairs to the open loft area!

​

The guitar practice space felt empty and wasn't inviting for the couple to spend time together there. So, we created a music lounge on the other side of the room. We carried colors and materials across the entire loft in order to maintain a cohesive feel.

With the overall farmhouse vibe of the house, a shiplap accent wall just made sense. We amped it up by painting it black and hanging this amazing metal mirror piece. 

​

What else did IHI do?

• Incorporated new pieces alongside existing pieces the couple still enjoyed

• Brought in side tables reminiscent of drums, to add to the music lounge vibe

• Included a cozy, velvet green chair for a comfortable, conversational setup

• Increased the lighting by adding recessed lights

• Created a better storage solution for his guitars

​

We love how beautifully the space came together, met all their needs, and reflects their style!
