The big cactus (which is real) was an absolute bargain find at IKEA. The sofa bed is a few years old and was from however it looks like it is no longer available but you can get this one from Made which is very similar. The architects unit is from Garden Trading and handily doubles as storage for guests as well as a worktop for creative projects. The furniture is a mixture of old and new, I bought the desk off eBay about 10 years ago and I think I’ll probably have it for life. Farrow and Ball Purbeck Stone has been used on the fireplace/desk wall and has also been used on the skirting. The colour scheme echoes The cheltenham House master bedroom which you can see here. The Cheltenham House A Combined Home Office & Guest Bedroom As a result the room feels uncluttered and equally suited to work or play. On the flip side guest bedding, pillows and blankets are stowed neatly away within the sofa bed built in storage. Some of the less glamourous office essentials, such as box files, staplers, reams of paper and a laser printer have been hidden away inside drawers and cupboards so that the space never feels too corporate. The solution? We’ve created a multi-purpose space that houses all the tools of my trade (along with a few essential boy toys and knick-knacks) but also incorporates a sturdy sofa bed, soft furnishings and space for guests to unpack so that they feel at home, rather than still at work!
But because it’s a small house the space has to double as an occasional guest bedroom. This is the room where I spend the most time. I didn’t want to feel shoehorned into a corner but with space being an issue I didn’t want to permanently take over an entire room either. When you live in a small Victorian end of terrace with 2 bedrooms and you work from home there is always going to be an element of compromise when planning your work space.
