Modern Home Office

A cluttered, impersonal workspace is transformed into a modern home office.

Design Remix : Episode HDMIX-601 -- More Projects »
A drab home office contributes to homeowner Marci Wright's workaday doldrums. Host Karen McAloon shows that the office doesn't have to be all about business; it can be a fun place to entertain as well. With some paint and salvaged materials, the Design Remix team streamlines the space into a sophisticated, eclectic office that can double as a dining room.

People commonly place a desk in front of a window to take advantage of the view. It's certainly nice to have the natural light, but glare can make using a computer difficult. In Wright's office, she had also placed all the furniture around the edges of the room, which actually makes it seem smaller. The fireplace is a natural focal point in the room, but the stark white painted brick robs the room of any depth.
