5 brilliant kitchen design ideas you can recreate for home

By on February 28, 2013 in Designs

Houses in the city at present are getting smaller and smaller while the need for space is getting bigger and bigger. For a work-at-home mommy like me, we have no choice but to utilize our space to work for our multi-tasking roles.

I, for one, am a mother to a five-month old and there are times when in the middle of working, I have to prepare food and look after my kid.

For people like me, we have no choice but to work in the dining table. My husband hates this, as I have been known to leave my things in the corner while we eat.

If only I can build the following kitchen ideas in the future. (That’s my dream!)

But anyway, I compiled some absolutely loveable kitchen design ideas that are great food-for-thought if you (have to) multi-task like me!

1. The ‘movable’ Airstream kitchen office

See the Airstream kitchen office here on LifeHacker — original from Hofmann Architecture

This closely resembles the arrangement in my house. Except for the retractable computer (an iMac of course), the peek-a-boo drawer with printer and the couch-like arrangement of the seats. Oh, right! This is a completely different thing.

There’s 3 things I love about this: 1) you can do this in any dining area and 2) you don’t lose much valuable space because 3) you are making use of all available space!

Pretty nifty, don’t you think?

 

2. The ‘clutter free’ contemporary kitchen idea

See the clutter-free kitchen design here on Houzz.com

My number one pet peeve is clutter. Coming close in second place is tangled cords. Try as I might, I really can’t get rid of both (although I am consciously doing it, at a minimum).

What I like about the kitchen office idea above is you can just shut the doors and voila! Say goodbye to any visual messy distractions.

Plus this design gets points for the many shelves – perfect for organizing stuff. And the door? Hmm, I can definitely see myself putting a sort of mood board here for my many ideas and Post-its. Love it!

Having a phone and computer station is just as important. When you get home, resist the urge to spend dinnertime on your cell phone as your sweetie chats with you about the day. Even if you think you’re hearing everything, odds are you aren’t. Commit to stashing your phone and computer in another room as soon as you get home from work. Keep the ringer on for important calls, but don’t sit around playing with your phone.
— Quote from Houzz.com

 

3. The ‘me-time’ super cosy kitchen office space

kitchen design ideas cosy space

It’s cozy, it’s white, and it is tucked away in the corner. What’s not to love? The shelves above can be a place for your cookbooks, smoothie recipes, travel inspirations and other motivational notes.

What do I like about it? I like that the lack of horizontal space is made up by utilizing every bit of vertical space. What’s more, since it is tucked away in the corner, it is perfect for every mommy’s me time when you don’t want your kids or the hubster disturbing you!

 

4. The ‘genius’ kitchen ideas space

This space is just genius! What to do when you have two high shelves between the kitchen counter and the dining table? Your own kitchen office, of course!

It’s so subtle in that, when you have visitors, you can just put back your dining chair by the dining table and the space looks like it really belongs to the kitchen already – just like it’s not an office at all.

Office? What office?

 

5. The ‘inspirational’ kitchen design idea

See this kitchen workspace on MulletCabinet.com here

This one right here is perfect for a contemporary kitchen. This may not be my style but if clean lines and an orderly look is your thing, then this kitchen office is just perfect for you.

I like the fact that the designer thought of putting framed photographs of, I am thinking, the user’s children. Just what every woman needs. An inspiration on her working table.

Is this the most comfortable office chair of all time?

By on February 26, 2013 in Office

7 of the most comfortable office chair laybacks you’ve ever seen? Let’s find out…

Your work space atmosphere directly affects productivity. But no matter how tastefully decorated or conducive the ambience of your work station, if the office furniture fails to perform its core function, then output will be reduced. Unless of course most of your work revolves outdoors.

most comfortable office chair - armless loungeLike sleeping, sitting in your office chair could easily take 8 hours of your typical workday. Nothing is closer to the fact than cubicle denizens starting their day sitting, and ending it in the same position, often with very little variety of motion in between.

If this is how your regular work day looks like, isn’t it rather obvious that you are literally sitting on what should be your prime investment?

Centers for occupational health and safety do have standards for what makes an ergonomic chair.

Not everyone sits the same way, either as a direct result of personal habits or occupational requirements.

A chair intended for someone working in front of computers most of the time is different in design, and even materials, than an executive chair intended for managers who perform most of their tasks while reclined.

First, the office chair stress test

Keep in mind, however, that chairs have to achieve a set of criteria to be considered ergonomic. Since not everyone’s seating needs are the same, check that each office chair you buy, particularly for a large group of employees, passes this stress test:

  • Seat height adjustability — Will the office chair accommodate everyone, from the tallest person in your office to the shortest? Nothing strains the leg more than dangling it for hours on end, especially when the user in question is going to sit on it for the entire work day.

  • Backrest adjustability — People at work sometimes need to lean forward if they are in the thick of work, or lean back and close their eyes for a break. Office chairs should be flexible enough to accommodate this range of torso movement.

  • Seat depth — Nothing can be more inviting than to sink into a fluffy seat. But if that chair is going to be used by someone who should sit at attention, rather than recline, most of the time, then perhaps a shallower, firmer seat is more suitable than a deeper, cushier one.

  • Stability — Are the users going to move from one desk to another as they fulfill their tasks while on their tushies? Then their chairs have to support their frequent movements without throwing them out of their conveyance.

Apparently, choosing a chair is not as straightforward as it once was, not when too many people complain of backaches and carpal tunnel after a long day at work.

Making a purchasing decision requires sitting down on the chair in question and tinkering with its various contraptions, ideally by the very person who would sit on it 8 hours a day or more.

7 super comfortable office chairs to consider

So if you want to invest in ergonomic seating and enhanced productivity, take a look at these pieces from design authority Houzz.com and decide for yourself if any one of these is the most comfortable office chair of all time.

1. Dark leather executive office chair

most comfortable office chair boss black leatherplus executive

The executive office chair (left) is available here for around $160 — see the main pic here

If you love the look and feel of dark plush leather (and the executive image it conveys), then this chair will certainly fit your office needs like a missing piece of the jigsaw puzzle.

Couple this with dark mahogany table, thick carpeting and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a forest of office towers, and you’ll feel like sitting on top of the world.

 

2. Modern suede office home chair

A similar micro suede chair is available here for around $130 — see main pic here

Looking to infuse eclectic pieces into your home office? Or convert your entire loft into an artsy yet chic work station?

This cowhide-patterned suede is simply delectable to sink into and not half-bad to add to a collection of art pieces you may already have on your wall or installed on your desk.

As a stand-alone piece of office furniture, this chair accentuates a monochrome background and serves as a conversation piece.

 

3. Black leather ‘toilet seat’ managers office chair

most comfortable office chair - managerial task chair

Is this the most comfortable office chair for you? A similar office chair is available here

This is the chair that you will, quite literally, sink into! Upholstered with black polyurethane leather and mesh, the added cushion on the sides (which uncannily resembles a toilet seat) means your derriere will be well ensconced while your lumbar area is well supported and your leg fatigue minimized.

 

4. Black executive office task chair

most comfortable office chair boss black leather

This black executive office chair is available here for around $160

Why is it that executive chairs often come in the softest of leather and with luxurious padding? Could it be because most of the work done in the boardroom is in this very chair while the chief executive is hard at work – thinking, planning, strategizing?

Leather comes at a cost, but the rewards are enormous! Just think of how many ideas you could come up with and turn into something profitable while comfortably slumped in this chair.

Thankfully, this chair has been designed with lumbar and leg comfort in mind, so you can tilt it whichever way you want and adjust its seat height for optimal working position.

 

5. Patara office chair SoHo concept

most comfortable office chair - Patara office chair SoHo concept

Would this be the most comfortable chair out of them all? It’s available here for around $430

Bold personality in red, capital letters, anyone? But if you think that all it screams is attention, then you are certainly mistaken. Look closely and you’ll see that the seat and backrest are upholstered for lumbar comfort, and the five-star chromed steel base designed for mobility.

The gas-piston base allows the user to tilt the chair to the most optimal position and adjust its height according to the user’s leg length. (Dangling your feet for well over two hours because the chair is not height-adjustable is stressful enough.)

Maintenance is a breeze too. When the color starts fading, or if you want to change the color altogether to, say, a hot pink, just unzip the encasing leather and you’ll have a new piece of furniture in an instant.

 

6. Eclectic ergonomic home office chair

most comfortable office chair - Designer Modern Arne Jacobsen egg chair leather

An Arne Jacobsen Egg Chair in red is available here for around $650 — see it on Houzz here

This chair is truly egg-cellent! Ergonomically designed to provide full support to the gluteal muscles, it is perfectly suited to the home office worker who flits from one desk to another.

It’s no-snoozing in this chair, so you’ll certainly get a lot of work done without feeling the strain. The fact that it comes in a shape suitable for any background is an added bonus. It also easily tucks into any cramped space, so stowing it away when not needed is a breeze.

 

7. Deluxe high back office chair

most comfortable office chair deluxe high back

This deluxe high back office chair is available here for around $260

Do you want to get all the technological capability of modern office chairs – you know, pneumatic seat height adjustment, adjustable tilt tension, lumbar support and one-touch operation – and yet convey an Old World charm conveyed by luxurious leather, mahogany finish and brass tacks?

Then this chair will surely delight! Sink into this executive high back office chair, preferably with a drink in hand, and start building your empire.

It’s challenging trying to work out just by looking which out of these 7 would be the most comfortable office chair for you. Unless you go with your instincts, you really need to go spend some sit-down-time at your local chair store…

Let us know how it goes!

12 home office designs that will blow your mind

By on February 18, 2013 in Designs

The workplace is evolving fast so much so that traditional work spaces like cubicles and conference rooms are quickly getting expensive, not to mention boring and unproductive.

In fact, some offices have altogether become obsolete as location-independent work options are fully embraced by digital nomads and remote workers.

home office design at nightAs a result, home offices of today are no longer just functional as they were in the past. They need to be pretty too if any work gets to be done efficiently!

But they have to be more homey and less of an office to make less of work and more of play. (You know what I’m saying right!)

One of the richest sources of home office designs (or any project that has anything to do with home or garden architecture) online is Houzz.com where literally an ocean of ideas are presented in easy-to-follow templates.

That means the average homemaker won’t have any trouble designing interior and exterior spaces that address their needs and appeal to aesthetics!

There are plenty to choose from, but some elements are combined in a more standout manner that make for an ergonomic space big on coziness and high on functionality.

12 (very cool) home office designs

Below are 12 home office designs that will blow your mind but not bust your budget since they could fit almost anywhere, no matter how limited your space.

If you are savvy enough to rummage through yard sales, flea markets and thrift shops, you could furnish your home office like a pro.

Of course, it wouldn’t hurt to invest well in your home office space especially that you will be spending a good portion of your day (or night) here, thinking of or completing more projects that bring in more income.

Corner Home Offices

1. Painted maple contemporary home office

home office designs - corner office

See it here on Houzz.com

If all you have is a tiny corner of a space, then that’s what you have to work with. A nook for an office is not an excuse to be slovenly. This contemporary corner office boasts of plenty of storage space built-in above the desk area and pull-out drawers below.

Even without a window in sight, lighting is not a problem with this design. LED lighting installed under the cabinets should do the trick. The space is big enough for an office chair to comfortably fit in, but small enough to regularly maintain.

Painted in neutral colors (or candy hues for a more amped up vibe), this tiny corner looks big and inviting enough to make work a lot less like it.

 

2. Residence traditional home office

Or, if you have a window with a view, make the most of it by building a home office around it. Wood and white make this office space homey.

 

3. Organized work space home office

Beige and white will also do. It may look uncluttered for some, but too drab for others. This can be remedied in an instant! You can liven up this space by throwing colorful accents: printed throw pillows, colorful window garlands, an artsy desk lamp.

 

4. Basement work space and home office

For most households, the space under the stairs is often used for storage or simply left vacant. To utilize every square inch of your household space, this area can be converted into a full-time workstation complete with cabinets and shelves (and the odd plain old telephone).

5. Traditional home office

The dining table is often the default work area when there is nary a home office in sight. But work and meals need not happen on the same surface at home.

Instead, convert that slim ribbon of space on the side of the dining area into a high-powered workspace that you can tuck in when not needed.

If this is already an unused closet, you are one step ahead. Install a long worktable and shelves above and below for instant home office and storage space. Sliding doors should allow you to close off this space when you want to focus on your lunch break.

 

6. Mercedes Corbell contemporary home office

White may be too clinical a space for home office, but if accented with candy-colored file boxes and desk accessories, it is transformed into a heavy-duty work station.

 

7. Amaya contemporary home office

See this design on Houzz.com

To give an illusion of space, you can close off your workstation using double panel glass doors. Add a printed ergonomic chair, and you have classy and chic in an instant!

 

Home Office With a View

8. Custom home office contemporary home

Do you have access to plenty of light and/or breathtaking views? Consider installing a glass window for your home office. An added bonus if this vantage point overlooks an inspiring view – a lake, a forest, a beach or simply a branch of a tree that poetically spreads out.

You can have your cabinets on the side and have your desk right smack in the middle of natural light. Close off this space with vertical blinds or curtains.

 

9. Abelow Sherman Architects modern home office

This home office sure has a view! Plenty of natural light makes a room airy and spacious, so even if you only have a tiny square footage for a work space, weave this element into your design and you’ll get a world of difference.

A single glass pane provides an unobstructed view, not to mention a modern appeal. For a softer look, close off the window with colored fabric.

 

10. Baltis Architects modern home office

A wood cabinet filled to the brim and chocolate-colored couch and office furniture make work space less industrial and more homey. An early morning coffee or an afternoon perk-me-up completes the vibe.

11. New York traditional home office

No space at all for your laptop? Then transform your sitting room into a part time home office. Choose a wide center table so you can have plenty of desk space at the same time. Throw in cushions for your seating comfort and you’re done.

 

Home Office in a Bed Space

12. Finished home office with Murphy bed

If all you have for a work space is your bedroom, then bedroom is it. Install a corner desk with upper and lower shelves for plenty of storage, and put up a bed frame to create a dividing line between work and sleep.

Bare Bones of an Efficient Office – Storage Part 4

By on January 10, 2013 in Office

I am a minimalist but a realist. I would love a near bare office with only a desk and chair but unfortunately there are things you need even though you don’t want them (kind of like braces). For example, if your job deals with a lot of documents you’ll need a filing cabinet.

I would go for a metal one because then I could mount the Boogie Board Jot on it or use magnets to fix notes. Did you know there are decisions to be made before you can buy a filing cabinet? And you thought you could get away with purchasing any old thing, shame on you.

Here’s some ideas about what decisions you need to make:

“Before you buy just any file cabinet, you must decide what type of documents you will be storing. This will determine the type and size of file cabinet you will need. Examples include: Letter Size (8.5 x 11 inches), Legal Size (8.5 x 14 inches). Special requirements (like locks, fire proof material, wood construction and casters for mobility) can also add to the cost of the file cabinets. How you want to store your files is mainly determined by the method that will allow you to make retrieval easy and fast.”

Safco Onyx Mesh File Cart for office storage

Around $69 on Amazon here — they say: “HIGHLY recommend for someone with a home office, looking to save some space” and “An excellent little filing cart… perfect for light duty filing in small spaces.”

Storage is an important part of any smoothly run office and as I have said before, you can never have enough of it. I hope you have followed my earlier advice and invested in a desk with shelves, cabinets, drawers etc.

Although if you only have eyes for this beautiful half pipe desk I’ll understand too.

If not (you should know that I can never resist saying I told you so), you are probably going to need to buy additional shelves, book cases and/or cabinets for your space. I’ve found a good way to save space and have a neater office is to fix everything up on the walls.

Decisions, decisions, so many to make. Here’s an excerpt from an article about how to choose your shelves and cabinets:

To select the solution that is right for your office follow these steps:

  • Make a list of the materials that you will need to store
  • Note if the material is small or large (size of the cabinet/shelf); heavy or light-weight (type of construction of the storage cabinet shelving unit)
  • Decide if access is going to be frequent or long term (open shelf, closed cabinet or shelf)
  • Determine where in the office you will locate each unit so that your office will function most efficiently and the unit will match the office décor.

TECHNI MOBILI seguro mobile 2 drawer file pedestal

Around $93 from Amazon here — they say: “Has enough space for an iPod docking radio, a light and drinks on the top and my wallet, keys and cellphone in the second shelf…”

It might seem a bit silly at first to put so much thought into such mundane matters but like we said in our efficient office furniture post your office is where those brilliant ideas happen!

Brilliant ideas happen everywhere too. Taking a shower, riding a mountain bike, picking up the shopping… Always be ready for them!

So think long term when investing in storage. Think of it like the hard drive of your computer – in one year from now it’ll probably be full!

What sort of office storage do you have?

Bare bones of an Efficient Office – Furniture Part 3

By on January 6, 2013 in Furniture

efficient furniture for your office

You can make your own furniture anywhere (Thailand)

The most important piece of furniture in your office space is the desk. All those brilliant ideas you have will be processed here. Your desk will see you through the late nights, bouts of irrational, impotent rage, periods of frustrating writer’s block, moments of creative genius and so forth.

This is why it is imperative you choose a desk which suits your needs and personality.

Golden rule number one when buying a desk is constantly reminding yourself that you can never have enough desk space. So make sure you don’t waste your money on a small, ornately carved, totally useless piece of junk, just because your fiancé thought it was cute!

Equally important as the desk is your chair. (Remember the uncomfortable chairs from school? Seriously what were they thinking?) Although you can buy them online, I would recommend going to an actual furniture store so you can try several different ones before deciding on one that is best for you.

As a long time sufferer of really bad chair choices, let me honestly say, your productivity has a direct correlation to how comfortable your derriere is.

But how to choose the best office furniture for your workspace?

Well we’ll get into some ideas below but before you do anything have a look at these adjustable height stand-up desks. Now there’s a unique approach. Here’s what they say:

Our bodies were not designed to sit in front of a computer for hours on end. We feel the best when we move throughout the day and all of our adjustable height desks are designed to not only give you the ability to alternate between standing and sitting but also allow you to position your keyboard and monitor separately at the proper heights. Working at a stand-up desk offers unique health advantages as well.

Which Desk Is Right For You?

So now it comes down to determining which desk and chair are right for you and your space. I personally prefer the L-shaped desks because they make good use of corners.

Golden rule number two is remembering you can never get enough storage space. So pick a desk that has drawers, cabinets and/or shelves. You can choose from a large variety of office and work desks here if you do not want to face the prospect of going to an actual store.

Here’s some desk ideas to consider:

offi half pipe desk

The beautiful Offi half pipe desk, designed by Eric Pfeiffer

Designed by Eric Pfeiffer, the Half Pipe Desk was inspired by the skateboard ramps of the designers youth. With plenty of storage, the half pipe will function as an office in and of itself. The hutch offers a place for your desktop items and under the desk, out of your shin’s reach, there is a shelf for a small printer or books. As Eric says, “A perfect ramp to launch your next project.”

And Now For Something To Sit On…

I cannot stress enough the need for a proper chair in your work space. I have advised against it, but if you haven’t the time to go to a store for your chair, make sure to read all the specifications of any chair you pick online.

Also read every review like a hawk before placing your order. Possible checklist for your chair – arm rests, wheels, back support, neck support, changeable height, recline-ability (essential for those of us who like to lean right back!)

The best way to find your perfect chair is to walk in to your local furniture place and ‘test’ chairs by sitting in the best desk chairs you find. (I nearly fell asleep in one particular chair – I instantly knew then that was the perfect chair for me!)

Mirra task chair designed by Herman Miller

Designed by Herman Miller, the Mirra task chair looks great and is super comfortable too

In a world of same-old work chairs, Mirra is a breath of fresh air. With its natural performance, flexible fit and inventive look, Mirra delivers superior performance for any office task. Its passive ergonomic features automatically adjust to a person’s size, posture and movement. This super comfortable work chair is sustainable too. Made of a minimal number of parts and easily disassembled for recycling, Mirra chairs are 96 percent recyclable, with 42 percent recycled content. Available here

A high comfort factor is important for most of us. Especially if you’re going to be sitting in that chair all day… (Unless you opt for a stand-up desk like the ones mentioned above!)

Your desk and chair need to be in total harmony, one must compliment the other in every way possible. An office chair that’s so relaxing you can’t help but be productive. And an office desk that serves all your needs and still has space for more.

It doesn’t hurt to be optimistic.  You can always cry later.
-Lucimar Santos de Lima

Bare bones of an Efficient Office – Lighting Part 2

By on January 5, 2013 in Workspace

efficient lighting - daylight example Thailand

When you possess light within, you see it externally. -Anais Nin

So, you have finally mustered the courage to organise your workspace. Good for you. There are certain things you need to keep in mind before you start.

Think of your space as a blank canvas and everything you put in it should aid you in some way. Even the smallest of spaces, if lighted, furnished and organised properly, can be a joy to work in.

The first order of business is the lighting. Needless to say, it is very important in any indoor environment. If at all possible, set up your office in a room with a window. Sunlight not only adds cheer to the room, it will also help keep your spirits up.

And it doesn’t hurt that you have the option of going green and working by the natural morning light instead of wasting electricity by turning on the room’s lights.

There is a muscular energy in sunlight corresponding to the spiritual
energy of wind. -Annie Dillard

There are many options available for lighting. You have to determine what sort of lighting best suits your needs. Here is an excerpt of an article written for lighting in the home office, but the basics are the same for any kind of workspace:

“Home office lighting is often overlooked as work starts to pile up. As backs ache, more attention is typically given to the right desk and chair but eye strain-induced headaches may go on for years before something is done. Before you settle in to a daily work routine, give your office lighting some thought. Lighting directly affects comfort and performance and properly managing light levels in the room will reduce fatigue and stress on your eyes.”

Consider sustainable lighting too?

“Sustainable lighting is lighting designed with energy efficient light sources. The most sustainable source of lighting is daylight, other forms are solar lamps harvesting daylight and lighting controlled by occupation sensors. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) can be used to drastically reduce the energy requirement and the use of daylight can significantly reduce a building’s energy use.”

It seems like such a simple part of your workspace, one which you may not have paid attention to. But the lighting plays a major role in your productivity. There are a lot of factors to be considered when choosing the right kind of lights for your space. The following are snippets of an article on office lighting:

“Computer operators have different light requirements from workers who read hard copy documents. Glare and monitor screen reflections can produce visual discomfort. Individual differences affect light requirements. A 60 year-old worker requires up to 10 times more light than a 20 year-old worker.”

“The colour of light affects visual comfort and productivity. Several types of lighting are available. Full spectrum fluorescent lights are designed to mimic natural light but cost more than standard bulbs.”

“Illumination on the document should be relatively high, while lighting on the screen should be kept relatively low. Lighting should come from two directions on either side of the worker to reduce shadows and improve lighting consistency.”

Make a list of your lighting needs and then do some research.

Amazon has a large selection of lighting products, for instance, floor lamps, desk lamps, lamps with magnifiers etc. You can even find LED battery operated stick on tap lights which can be used to illuminate a dark shelf or a cabinet.

Pick and purchase items which come closest to satisfying all your requirements. I personally prefer a very well lit room for when I work. And I like white light as opposed to yellow. (For some mysterious reason yellow light gives me headaches).

In my humble opinion, it is best to go for energy efficient LED lights, they are bright, white and last much longer.

I’m not a doctor and I don’t know the technical terminology, but I do know that sunshine activates our happiness glands. -Terri Guillemets

Here’s Some Floor, Desk and Office Lighting Ideas

Although this sunlight desk lamp is a little plain looking, it does simulates outdoor sunlight and is renown for a clear, bright and very comfortable pure white light that is easy on the eyes.

So you see more comfortably for reading, working and all closeup tasks and hobbies.

Comes with a bulb that lasts up to 5000 hours. That’s like 13 hours a day, which is way too many hours to have a lamp on!

Fulcrum LED Stick-On Tap Light

fulcrum led stick on tap light - office lighting

Fulcrum LED stick on tap light

These little LED tap lights illuminate everyday spaces; places like counter-tops, closets, pantries, storage shelves, stairways etc. You can just tape the light onto any surface.

They come equipped with energy-efficient LEDs that will last for up to 100 hours or so. You turn the tap lights on/off with just a touch.

 

Quite possibly really, really good for your RV, in a boat, or doing outdoor stuff like camping.

If you do go shopping for LED lights keep LED floodlight technology in mind. That gives an ultra-wide beam of bright, glare-free light, so you can see more. You get an even, balanced illumination over a wide area, so you can see better and more comfortably.

In addition, the LEDs never need to be replaced, and they use only 10% of the energy compared to a conventional light bulb.
