A place to work


As kids, most of us dreaded the seemingly endless amount of homework and the hours upon hours of sitting at the kitchen table studying, memorizing and writing. As grownups, sometimes the tasks required by our jobs are not accomplished in an ordinary eight-hour day.


At some point, when we have outgrown the dining table as a work surface and if we have a spare room, we imagine a home office. Designing that work space should be an exercise in both function and aesthetics.Assess how much time you will spend working there. Is this your main office space, or is this just a work area to complete and check daily work and pay household bills? Besides a work surface or desk, consider what else you want, such as bookcases, storage, filing space, computer, electronics, lighting and appropriate seating.Make it appealing but not distracting. Select some art you enjoy, and get to work.by Joseph PubillonesCreators New ServiceAesthetic considerations are next. Your selection of wall colors, the finish on your case goods, such as desks and cabinets, and flooring - whether carpet, wood or tile - will determine the feel of your office. Do you prefer a warm clubby library, a cool high-tech contemporary look or sophisticated high-style glam feel? It's up to you.
