HERE, A CHUNKY TABLE WITH HAND-TURNED LEGS IS GIVEN A LICK OF BLACK PAINT AND TEAMED WITH AN EAMES OFFICE CHAIR—A PLAYFUL AND CHARMING COMBINATION. SPACE MAKER This tiny corner has been transformed into a hardworking work-from-home zone with enough space for a laptop, stationery, filing, and reference essentials. A simple wall- mounted unit provides ample storage space while the metallic touches along with the handwoven chair and sheepskin cover bring in just the right amount of laidback luxury. DESIGN NOTES • The simple palette of all-white and wood is a cohesive and uncomplicated choice and a perfect solution for a small space. Painted the same crisp white as the wall, the desk unit melts into the background perfectly. • Keep clutter at bay in your work-from-home zone by accessorising with coordinating containers for paperwork and other essentials. • The shelving unit works hard but is anything but corporate. Look for homeware pieces (like bedside tables to slot under desktops) to use in your at-home headquarters. T I P

A GLASS TOP ELEVATES THE LITTLE TABLE INTO AN ELEGANT PIECE – THE TOUCH OF SOPHISTICATION MEANS THAT IT COULD LIVE AS COMFORTABLY IN THE CORNER OF A BEDROOM OR A SUNNY SPOT OF A LIVING ROOM TOO. CORNER OFFICE How to transform a formerly nondescript corner into something seriously impressive? Paint or paper the background in a dramatic colour or print! This teeny space oozes urban smarts and designer appeal. DESIGN NOTES • Simplicity is key to the success of this small yet sorted desktop empire. Simple wooden shelves are suspended on black brackets while the shiny stone top is a sophisticated and elegant touch. • Playful tchotchkes and flashes of metallic are the undeniable marks of a creative mind at work. T I P IF YOU’RE GOING TO BE SPENDING HOURS AT YOUR DESK, MAKE SURE YOU INVEST IN THE BEST CHAIR YOU CAN AFFORD. WHILE GOOD LOOKS ARE GREAT, YOU WANT SOMETHING THAT WILL SUPPORT YOUR SPINE WHILE YOU’RE BURNING THE MIDNIGHT OIL.
