Home... the new office
A glimpse at some of our recent home office designs
Welcome to the land of working from home, where (in times of necessity) any space can quickly be transformed into a make-shift office. With laptops propped up on boxes and keyboards balancing on knees... the new working norm for many involves a chaotic cacophony of juggling priorities.
The fact of the matter is, now that we're all spending more time at home, we're noticing the importance of having designated 'zones' where different activities can take place.
Whether it's finishing a spreadsheet, sending important emails, attending virtual meetings, or colouring in with the kids - having a special space to sit and think is truly invaluable. And the beauty of custom cabinetry is, that it doesn't matter if you're fitting a palatial room with ample wall space, or a small corner nook tucked away at home - we can make any space work for you.
Kitchens are our bread and butter, but we understand the importance of continuity throughout your home.
Seamless design weaves its magic through each room to create spaces that hum with your daily household routine. So, if you’re creating a kitchen with us, we’ll turn our hands to custom cabinetry within any room that needs a little sprucing. That's everything from bathroom vanities and laundries, to wardrobes, wall units and of course - offices.
With Victorians doing a great job of self-isolating and cases beginning to steady, our schedule is starting to fill up with home upgrades across Melbourne. So if you’re thinking of making a change, now is a great time to get in touch with us to begin your renovation planning for installations from June onward.
Setting out on your journey to craft the perfect home office throws up lots of factors to consider. Start with the space - the physical location - of your working haven. Is this a room? A corner? Are you making use of vacant space such as under the stairs? The space itself will dictate certain elements, but you'll find that when you get creative, the possibilities are endless.
Minimal clutter, maximum output.
Tasmin & Luke's Home Office, Brighton | Price Guide: $3,000 - $3,500 (includes custom design, cabinetry and installation)
When it comes to productivity, this home office is not messing around. Minimal in design, its Cinder Grey Polytec Venette cabinetry creates clean, sleek lines that perfectly contrast the starkly white walls. Built in drawers featuring Lincoln Sentry handles, and a cleverly concealed filing system, have been snugly installed under vacant desk space - tucking them away at the optimum rifling height whilst not compromising on layout.
Practicality, meet productivity.
Mike & Maggie's Home Office, Beaumaris | Price Guide: $5,000 - 6,000 (includes custom design, cabinetry and installation)
Everyone knows that it’s hard to be productive in a messy, cluttered office. Key to a practical design is organised space that encourages good ergonomics as well as productivity. Mike and Maggie’s use of double layered desks and custom shelving (in Polytec Natural Oak Ravine) create plenty of nooks to tidy things away while retaining their modern, minimalist style. This not only enhances the functionality of the space, but also brings in the style of the nearby kitchen with the use of Polytec Natural Oak Ravine, giving the look and feel of natural raw timber (without the price tag).
Cleverly compact creativity.
Cindi's Home Office, Brighton East | Price Guide: $3,500 - $4,500 (includes custom design, cabinetry and installation)
This homely office is adorn with custom open shelving (in Laminex Seal Grey), ideal for storing ample supplies and well out of reach from curious little hands. The dual work station is ready for action with its durable built-in Laminex Battalion desk, fitted with pre-cut cable holes. This ensures wires can be easily directed to the nearest power source without getting tangled or in the way of work. This set up is perfect if you want to create a space that allows for collaboration as well as separation - depending on the project.
