Some really interesting ideas, I especially like the Home Office by Karin Draaijer. I can’t help myself at the moment, totally drawn to black and white!!

Best wishes, Mrs C x

Your post is perfect for me since I am working full time as a home based freelancer. I like the design of Bates Masi Architects – it so elegant, so simple and so neat. The Pottery Barn from US style is good too. Other people might never know that you are using that as your office at home. Because when you close the doors it will simply look like a cabinet.. The computer will be safer here because after you use it you just close the doors of the cabinet, and your computer is safe from dust.

Glad you enjoyed the office and the blog! I really enjoy having my favourite things about me as I work, compared to the blandness of some office environments I’ve known – it’s comfortable rather than distracting.

I’m still fairly new to blogging but it’s a great tool to talk about all the things I love about housing and home design. As for the rest of house, I’ll bear your suggestion in mind – looks like I better dig out the feather duster!

I read your blog with great interest – I’m an architect myself (still employed, thank god!) and it’s great to see how you can channel/direct your career and interest into blogging!

Looking forward to read some more (and see more pics, maybe of the rest of your home)

Thanks for your comments – nice to meet a new interior and design blogger, especially one only 5 degrees removed from Frank Lloyd Wright! Best of luck with your job-hunt – it’s a tough world out there at the moment, but writing a blog is a great way to raise your profile. I’ll add you to the blog’s home design inspiration list and keep my fingers crossed that you find the job that lets you create the ideal home office soon!

Thanks for stopping by and for the kind comments! A home should always be a home first and foremost and that’s what I hope comes across in the post. Please do refer clients to the pics – I know how much easier it is to visualise how a design might work in your home if you have something to compare it with. And thanks too for the Twitter and Facebook shouts – much appreciated!

I also tweet regularly about home design & more at http://twitter.com/livingroombuzz.

Just wanted to say I loved this article, and the pictures are fantastic. You have proven that a home office doesn’t have to be a sterile workplace and if designed well, can be cosy, creative and fit in well with the rest of the house.

I am no designer, although I do build/fit out home offices, and I bet my customers would love some of your ideas here, I’ll certainly be referring them to this blog. (and if you dont mind I’ll put it on my FB and Twitter now)

Cheers,
