Design tips and styling by Joanna Thornhill

With working from home now commonplace for many office-based employees, whether your work is fully remote or hybrid, a dedicated home office space has quickly moved from the realms of nice-to-have-luxury, to an essential requirement in today’s home. Creating an extension that accommodates this need can be transformative, even with a relatively modest add-on, as well as providing space for crafts, hobbies and side hustles, too.

Greens and blues are well known to help create a sense of calm, though in a working space it’s also important to feel inspired: going bold and creating an immersive feel with wraparound teal walls,
and a jolt of contrasting raspberry trim on woodwork, will help keep motivation levels up, while opting for a mint green finish across door and window frames nods to the outside space leading directly off this room.
