Home Office Design
August 23, 2019
Did you know nearly 5% of Americans – 8 million people – work from home? At MDI, we love designing home offices because they give us a chance to combine functionality, organization, efficiency, comfort, and aesthetics. In other words, we really get to flex our muscles! Here are some of our favorite home offices:
Oceanside Luxury
This sleek shared home office gives each of the homeowners their own space, plus a large desk for working together. Custom built-in cabinets keep office essentials tucked away, and luxurious, understated desk chairs give the room a peaceful, classic vibe.
Refined Retreat
In a home nestled on the Kiawah River, this office was designed to take advantage of the verdant views. We split the door on this room, so the homeowner’s furry friends have a quiet place to chill when their family is out.
Relaxed River View
This office proves your working space doesn’t have to be big to be functional. We carved a nook out of the kitchen for a small office that features a handsome built-in desk and supply cabinet. The best part of this niche is that the view might even make you look forward to going to work.
Kiawah Classic
Designed for a home on Kiawah Island, this masculine office takes advantage of the beautiful scenery outside. We lined the walls with custom floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and cabinets for abundant storage and added comfy seating for visitors.
Modern Sullivan’s Island
These homeowners requested a shared home office. His semi-circular wood desk has strong lines and a warm tone that contrasts the crisp white, black, and blue-grey tones in the room. Her desk is elegant and sleek with more than enough room to spread out. A gas fireplace takes the chill off winter workdays.
Rhetts Bluff
This lovely Kiawah home got an extra-functional shared home office and reading room. The desk is contemporary with sharp lines and a bit of shine. We added a plush leather club chair for catching up on the news and lined the opposite wall with floor-to-celling with bookshelves.
Classic Cassique
Offices don’t have to be all work and no play. In this lovely Kiawah home, her office is designed to be a getaway for watching TV, reading, and catching up on correspondence. This graceful study features a desk, a wall of built-ins, a sitting area, fireplace, and plenty of style.
Surfsong Beach
This is a cozy shared office space with a built-in desk big enough for two. The light-filled corner of the upstairs landing is the perfect place to work, do homework, or hang out together.
