Today, working life has become much more flexible and there are currently industries that offer the opportunity to work from home. Even if it's not exactly the case, every now and then you need to do something at home outside of work hours. If you have an entire room in your apartment for working or creative activities, consider yourself lucky. However, you can set up a nice home office even if you have little space. The workplace, even if it is in your own home, should provide the optimal atmosphere for working. When setting up an office at home, it's not just about the furniture and home accessories. It should be practical and beautiful at the same time so that working is fun. However, if the room is small or an area in another room needs to be created, the task is not easy.
Setting up a home office: An excellent example from Taiwan
The Taiwanese architecture firm NORDICO has dealt with the topic of “home office”. In Taiwan, especially Taipei, as well as in many other large cities, it has now become almost impossible to buy a small apartment and rental prices are also increasing. You should be extremely flexible and bring everything under one roof. The Taiwanese architects design functional furnishings in a modern, contemporary style that are heavily influenced by Scandinavian design. The rooms are laid out very practically and thanks to the neutral color palette they look spacious and not at all cramped. IncludedWhite and wood dominate. Charming details such as patterned ceramic tiles and beautiful home accessories in gray tones add playful accents.
Clever, practical, beautiful
Even if space is limited, you can set up a perfect home office and it doesn't have to be spacious and lavishly decorated to offer a creative working atmosphere. A small area with sufficient daylight is usually completely sufficient and can be achieved in every apartment and with every floor plan. A work table in the living room, which is separated by a small partition, actually offers optimal space for a home office. The partition wall does not go all the way to the ceiling, but is about 1.50 m high. This means that the natural light from the window is not prevented and there is a friendly atmosphere in both areas.
The furniture is characterized by simple, Nordic design. Despite the small living space, they do not make the rooms appear overloaded or cramped. Elements made of natural wood, such as the floor covering, the ceiling, the cupboard fronts, etc., provide a cozy touch. The attention to detail can be seen in the design of each area. Patterned tiles, colored upholstery, small antique objects, designer lights, decorative elements made of brass or iron give the apartment individual charm and unique character.
