CREATE YOUR OWN HOME OFFICE IN A TINY AWKWARD SPACE INSIDE YOUR HOUSE VOL.3 – Home Interior

This is my third post about creating a home office in a tiny awkward space in a house.  If you haven’t read the 2 first posts, then you need to take a look at it, you may get inspired! In that 2 each posts I have shown a sketch of a common setting of an awkward and tiny space we usually find inside a house and have been changed into a small home office.

First, was by the wall railing to the staircase downstairs, second was a space under the staircase and this last space was in a corner. Yup, a corner!

A corner somewhere in your house maybe have a very good potential to become a cozy little home office and you just don’t realize it. Now you may need to carefully seek for that corner space. Because once you find it, you can easily change the space to be more functional and meaningful than before, by creating a home office. Sometimes you need a little bit interior works to do or sometimes you just pull in a little table and a little chair, decor it a bit and then you got yourself a brand new space, a home office!

For that I gave you 2 illustrations, each one is a corner somewhere in a house that sometimes it’s only used as a space for a decoration purposes, like maybe a space for a big decorated vase, a decorated end table, a feature wall just to make the corner felt less awkward, and so on.

1. A corner in a large room

Usually a big room have one or more corners that you need to fill in with something that tie in with the rest of the room to make it less awkward. For that purpose, more often people just put a big nice chair, a standing lamp or a statement decoration. Or the worse is sometimes you just left it empty! And that what makes a room or a corner felt cold.

So, below I gave sketch of a little but cozy home office in a corner somewhere. Just need a small table and a chain, then you just create your own home office in a tiny awkward space inside your house

2. A corner in a transition room.

This corner usually left with decorating purposes only too. While actually has a potential space for an emergency home office. And maybe if you feel cozy enough, you may want to make it as a fixed home office.

Take a narrow but a tall practical table and chair and a standing lamp, set it in a stylish way. You won’t believe the result. Look at my sketch! You will feel like you are sitting in some industrial cafe somewhere in the town.

I hope my 3 posts on how to create your own home office in a tiny awkward space inside your house will inspire you all. I do really wish that you can make one based on my guidance from my posts.

So, if you like one or more of my posts, please don’t hasitate to follow my blog, I still have more and more ideas that will inspire and help you to create one for your own.

Make it creative!

See you!

2. Flowers 

Say it with flowers! Well, it always works for me. So, unlike roses, give something non-traditional like exotic orchid that last longer and even a hundred years if you give the plant. Pick a pinkish orchid plant and a pink gold pot just like in the picture below. All together with that great arrangement it’s surely mind blowing. But again, it’s still look simple but gorgeous.

CREATE YOUR OWN HOME OFFICE IN A TINY AWKWARD SPACE INSIDE YOUR HOUSE VOL.2 – Home Interior

CREATE YOUR OWN HOME OFFICE IN A TINY AWKWARD SPACE INSIDE YOUR HOUSE VOL.2 – Home Interior

On my last post, i gave a setting of the awkward and tiny space we usually find inside a house and change it into a small home office space. So on this post i showed you another example to create your own home office in a tiny akward space inside your house .

This is the little space commonly found under a staircase. And the first thing that people does is just simply close it all the way up as a storage cabinet. Well, you can install a little cabinet on one side but then squeeze in a table or a wood panel on the other side and you will got yourself a little home office. See the sketch i made below, it’s simple but very functional.

With this arrangement, you can do your work and have plenty of storage for your office supply. Before that, it’s only an empty space under the staircase or a storage cabinet, but once you put in a table and a chair, it’s suddenly changed it’s function to be more useful and alive.

At last, you can style your home office in a way you like and inspiring. But always remember to find a way to relate it to the rest of the rooms in your home. Maybe from the color tone or the pattern.

So, next post I still got some more idea of how to create your own home office in a tiny akward space inside your house. I will get into it once i finished my sketches.

See you soon!

Think creative!

CREATE YOUR OWN HOME OFFICE IN A TINY AWKWARD SPACE INSIDE YOUR HOUSE VOL.1 – Home Interior

CREATE YOUR OWN HOME OFFICE IN A TINY AWKWARD SPACE INSIDE YOUR HOUSE VOL.1 – Home Interior

Do you need a home office? Well, no need a grand office table, just at least a decent table and a chair where you can read and write or open your laptop.

And do you have an awkward space inside your house that is quite tiny that you don’t know what to do with it?

I have some solutions for two of your problems above. You can make use of the awkward space into a nice sanctuary of yours and the tiny space into a functional space. Both problems become two advantages.

Since i dont know what kind of awkward and tiny space you got in your house, so i made some common settings that we ussually find.

First setting is the little space we find by the staircase on the second floor.

Usually people only put a big vase of plant or just leave it empty. But actually it’s a potential space for mini office. And the good thing is when you work at second floor, you still aware of what happening downstair through the void.

Here’s what you can do to create your own home office in a tiny awkward space inside your house. You can add a simple hanging wood panel to serve as a table. The panel can be built into the railing wall. On top of the wall you can add smaller wood panel to hold all your books. Then find a confy chair to complete your home office. You can also hang a  wall organizer or a board to suite your working needs. Below sketch may described more for this first setting.

There you can see that it takes only a tiny space where you can squeeze in your home office and change the awkward space becomes meaningful for you.

I still have several settings in my mind to create your own home office in a tiny awkward space inside your house, but i haven’t prepare the sketches. So, i will show it to you on my next post.

See you very soon!

Always be creative!

DARK AND OLD INTO BRIGHT AND NEW – Home Styling

Sometimes you find your existing furniture becomes irritating to your eyes but you don’t want to spend more money or just unable to change it because it goes with you rented house/apartment.

No need sore eyes, no need much money, no need hard work. I’m going to share my trick to solve it. Just put on something nice on to the furniture (home styling) and it will look better and suit you more.

For example, this was my old table and chairs, its bulky, dark and boring old. So i try to find something bright and more updated decoration for the table and the chairs. But first thing i had to do was to determine the bright color scheme that i prefered. Here i used white as the dominant color scheme so it would look bright and modern.

On the table, i have a white lacy tablecloth with a white picture frame and a little glass vase with vintage roses. Then for the chairs, i made two ivory sitting bases and put two grey flowers pattern pillows.

There, easy home styling! My furniture really have a new look! You don’t have to change anything to the furniture, just style it a little bit.

Well, you can have other color scheme that you favor, just choose a bright color as the main color scheme and then add some other bright color that compliment the main color scheme. You can also style more by incoporating pattern with solid color. Remember to be consistent to the color scheme you have chosen.

I hope my today’s tips on home styling can help you brighten your space and your day. Be creative! See you!
