Working from home is great, but when you are two, it can be a problem. See how artistically mounted wall storage, custom desks and bold wallpapers can transform your home office for two lots of pleasure.
When work allows you to replace the office with home comfort, it can be enjoyable, especially when you have a separate place at home to concentrate on. But if you need to share space just for you with your half, though not every day, at some point, the tension starts to rise. After all, you need to share not only the space of a small desk, but also the space where you store documentation or the tools you need to work. And the end result is bruises from kicking under the desk, nerves and no work done.
If we are right and feel this way, perhaps this article will help you transform “contentious territory” into a stylish and functional home office for two.
The First And Most Important Thing Is Privacy
To achieve privacy while working, it is best to split the space. If there is enough space, you can put a wall of glass bricks, but of frosted, instead of transparent glass. This way you won’t feel lonely, you will have enough personal space to do your job. In addition, the glass bricks transmit light well, so that enough light will enter both offices if there are not enough windows for both jobs.
Alternatively, you can only visually block the room – with a plane between the two desks. And if you want to have visual contact, you can place a cabinet or table between the two desks. In either case, the interior will not “close” and you will both have enough “air” to do the work in your home office.
Convenience And Functionality Of Home Office
Important for the home office is a place to keep documents, notebooks and other materials needed for the job. This is not usually a problem, as most work desks have drawers and storage space. But in a home office for two, bureaus do not usually have such a place to save space. In this case, a shared cabinet or closed wall shelf will solve the problem.
To do this, you can use a cabinet of sections that can be mounted on the wall. This will make use of the space above the desks. It is advisable that the cabinet has two compartments with several shelves – one for each side of the desks where each of you has its own place. It will be very convenient if the cabinet door is shared with a sliding mechanism. You can decorate the sliding door of the cabinet of your choice. And if you put strips on its surface, you will be able to change the decoration when you need variety.
