It’s so important loving where you work, being around people who encourage you and loving the difference you make! But it is just as important to love the place where you spend so much of your time. This office makeover was a super quick turnaround, but with huge results.
After avoiding going to the office for months, our client decided to put in the time to make the office more enjoyable. With a little help from us, we used what they already had (a rug and a couch) and began designing. Their wish list: increased productivity, feeling proud to bring clients to the office, and to increase their storage. We decided to paint the walls a blue-grey and the acoustical ceiling tiles black. Doing this makes the low ceiling feel a bit further away and conceals the watermarks and age of the tiles— an easier fix than replacing them.
We included texture in the storage boxes below, selected a warm toned console table and added some additional lighting. Their smaller accessories were displayed on a shelf, which maximized their table space. Pretty folders were displayed on the wall, as well as some colorful art.
Our client desperately needed storage. Although filing cabinets are ever present in the office, we decided on these adorable storage boxes. The neutral grasscloth and the mother of pearl handles elevate the space and make for functional and quick access.
Little details can make the difference between making an office feel like a home away from home.
