Before: Turning a Master Bedroom Into a Home Office
Joel and Robin love their new home, but they've decided to make a big change by turning their master bedroom (pictured right) into a calm Zen-inspired home office. One of the biggest challenges designer Kenneth Brown faces with Robin and Joel's design is creating a home office that feels as though it belongs in the home. To do that he suggests making the space feel relaxed and clean lined by using organic, natural materials, and to organize things so they're neatly tucked away.

After: Zen-Inspired Home Office
Joel and Robin turned to Kenneth Brown to transform their master bedroom into a new tranquil home office and he gave them everything they wanted and more! The room is now a multifunctional space that incorporates clean lines with a Zen-inspired calm environment. Robin and Joel love everything about the space from the copper and green color palette to the horizontal lines. Robin is especially thrilled about how the built-ins turned out and how well they tie in with both the existing teak table and the new bamboo flooring. Deciding the look of the fireplace was a challenge but in the end they went with a small mosaic tile and it wound up being the perfect choice. Robin and Joel now have a flexible home office that the entire family can enjoy.
