A quality home office is key for 2023. We ensure the basics are covered: cabinets and millwork to maximize storage, space for a screen to better review documents, and a comfortable and chic work chair. We like to elevate with custom glass doors that increase light but keep out the noise during a Zoom meeting. If space allows, a love seat adds versatility to seating and adds extra comfort.

Transforming an unused corner into a stylish home office can breathe new life into your space, as demonstrated by Elizabeth Cinquini Interiors' design. This office nook, nestled in a vast open-concept great room adjacent to the kitchen, showcases smart design choices.
Custom walnut cabinetry not only adds a touch of elegance but also conceals office clutter seamlessly. A generously sized floating desktop offers ample workspace, promoting productivity. Serene wallpaper envelops the space, infusing tranquility, and a cozy chair beckons for comfortable work sessions. Oversized cabinet knobs serve both form and function, while carefully chosen accessories add character.
To maximize productivity, ensure adequate lighting and organization solutions. Coordinate the color palette with the room's overall design for a cohesive look. This home office proves that even unused corners can be transformed into functional, inviting workspaces, where productivity and style harmoniously coexist.

Almost every office worker I know works from home at least some of the time. The home office used to be the place where you paid bills, checked personal email, and played games. Now, there’s “real” work to be done at home, and you get paid for it! For empty nesters with a large home and a few extra bedrooms, this has never been a problem, but for smaller condominiums or small houses, finding the space to work efficiently and happily is not so easy.
Two of our projects have put the home office into a closet (and not walk-in closets). One in NYC’s East Village, and one in Boston’s Back Bay. In the NYC apartment, the closet was sort of a pantry in the hall between the kitchen and the dining area. In the Boston apartment, the closet was in a pass-through dressing room leading into the Primary Bedroom. (see photo above). We used bright color, an amazing translucent desk material, set at the perfect height for our client, and a great light fixture, in order to make the space not feel like a closet. At one point we considered putting in a window into the bedroom but opted for the light fixture instead.
In both projects, gaining a workspace was worth the effort of paring down the storage. The results make our clients want to go to work, and the commute is so fast! If you are trying to make something stylish and functional out of a closet or a mansion, give us a call!

A home office takes on an entirely different feel and function when the residence includes spaces for outdoor living (and working). Whether a secluded spot for a quiet business call or a lively spot for corporate entertaining, the outdoors can offer a unique take on the corner office offering a custom view naturally designed with plenty of overhead lighting! "Professionally designed outdoor living spaces can easily accommodate unlimited options for comfortable and inspirational work-from-home venues,” said Ryan Hughes, founder and creative director, Ryan Hughes Design. “Productivity as well as creativity are enhanced when the workspace provides not only relaxed style and seating, but also technology and functionality built for incorporating into custom exterior designs.”
