Choose decorative storage

There's no need to allow papers and bills to take over your home; instead, plan a sitting room, bedroom or dining room in which a home office is an integral – but discreet – part of the scheme.

Conceal shelves and filing

Create neat hidden storage with two false pillars that also serve to divide an office area from the rest of the room. Shelves can be tailor-made to suit your particular requirements and positioned so they are within easy reach of the desk.


HOW TO MAKE IT WORK…


•Paint the pillars and shelves the same colour as the walls of the room to give the scheme a cohesive look.


•Keep the room streamlined with a contemporary desk and fit a letter rack along its length to hide wiring and provide handy access to stationery supplies.


•Add a strong aesthetic element, such as the blind used here or a painting, to soften the office feel.
