Whether you want to create a club experience in your lounge or simply want to enjoy cocktails without leaving the house, you can do it in style with a bespoke home bar.
Home bars are rising in popularity. Many house owners dream of creating a bespoke entertaining space, with their own bar. In Rated People’s latest home improvement survey, building a home bar is one of the biggest trends in interior design and renovation.
A study or home office is an important space, whether it’s an entire room or a dedicated corner in your home. It needs to be quiet and located away from distractions such as televisions or foot traffic. While your study should be well-lit with an ergonomically-designed desk and the right tailored storage for your needs, it should also be a place you enjoy.
A recent new interior design trend is the bespoke home office and playroom combination. This multipurpose idea has come about because so many parents with young families are continuing to work from home.
When you don’t have separate rooms for both a playroom and a home office, you can certainly combine the two with specially designed, versatile made to measure fitted furniture. All it takes is clever carpentry and expert joinery skills!
Now working from home is the new normal, the bespoke home office is this year’s top interior trend.
According to research by estate agent Savills, more people are realising the importance of having a designated workspace at home. Why? Because a dedicated office with the right desk and storage is essential if you want to be productive and professional; and keep your working life separate from your home life.
Create a kitchen office with bespoke carpentry and joinery
The kitchen office is a growing trend that’s seeing the traditional kitchen being transformed into a multi-functional space as more Surrey and Sussex residents continue to work from home.
If you’re planning a kitchen renovation it could be a good idea to incorporate a comfortable and functional dedicated home office into the design. Or perhaps you have a small space in your kitchen to tuck in a mini fitted office? With creativity and expert joinery and carpentry skills, even the smallest corner could be repurposed to accommodate a workstation with storage for equipment, files and paperwork.
Having the right storage for your home office will keep the space tidy and well-ordered. Take a look at these home office storage ideas to make your working life easier and more efficient.
Choose a variety of home office storage
Shelves for books and folders; deep drawers with file hangers for paperwork; slim drawers for stationery; and cupboards to hide away bulky equipment or boxes. A mix of hidden and exposed storage will create visual interest in the office without appearing too busy.
The increasing number of city dwellers moving to villages in areas such as Surrey and Sussex, highlights the latest trend for reduced commuting as more people decide to work more from home. This change of life style is leading many workers to think about how they can have a bespoke office that fits their needs at home.
