I’ve requested y’all to offer me your enter on fairly just a few studio-related issues currently, and my imaginative and prescient for the remaining tasks has lastly come collectively. And now I’m extremely excited to get this space of the studio completed!
First, let’s speak concerning the bridge/no bridge determination on the workplace space cupboards. I learn your whole feedback, and whereas most of you stated sure to the bridge, a few of you stated no for 2 essential causes. First, there was the priority {that a} bridge seems dated. And second, there was one other concern {that a} bridge would shut within the space across the window and one way or the other have an effect on the pure gentle.
So off to Instagram I went in quest of dwelling workplace inspiration to see if I might discover examples of each setups. I had quite a lot of problem discovering examples precisely like mine with a window. However I did discover common examples of workplace cupboards with and and not using a bridge between two outer higher bookcase-type cupboards. So I couldn’t get a transparent visible comparability of my precise state of affairs. I had to make use of my creativeness.
Ultimately, I made a decision to go along with the bridge. I’m not designing a kitchen, and I simply don’t see a bridge in an workplace wanting dated. And I additionally don’t see how it might have an effect on the sunshine. If something, the facet cupboard would have an effect on the pure gentle, however they’re not an issue in any respect for me. So right here’s my total plan:
I’m going to maintain the higher cupboard doorways strong. A lot of you make an excellent level that after I put glass in these higher cupboards, I might then need to spend an excessive amount of time ensuring these areas look fairly, and I’d lose useful cupboard space. These cupboards are too large and have an excessive amount of potential storage space to show them into merely ornamental areas.
Subsequent, as I already talked about, I’m going to stay with the bridge concept, however I’m going to make the most of the peak of the ceiling on this wall and construct a bridge with cubbies that step up within the center. I like that this can intensify the peak of the wall, give me a spot to place some books and ornamental issues, and make the entire thing appear like one cohesive built-in unit. So it’ll look one thing like this…
Additionally after so many examples on Instagram, I’ve determined to color the wall across the window the identical shade as the cupboards. I believe that will even add to the look of it being one steady built-in unit reasonably than having that small space damaged up with a special shade. These two images made me consider attempting this concept…
I understand that the apparent distinction is that these two workplaces have art work and I’ve a window, however I believe the visible influence would be the similar.
So far as the window goes, a lot of you prompt utilizing my floral cloth to make a Roman shade, however I’ve determined to maintain all the home windows constant and use the identical woven shade on this window that I used on the opposite two home windows.
Since each areas can have the identical cupboards, the identical countertop, and the identical dimension window, it simply is sensible in my thoughts to make use of the identical window remedy.
So far as the desk chair goes, I’ve determined to reupholster it in strong inexperienced velvet. So it’ll look one thing like this…
It’ll be a inexperienced that coordinates with the again entry partitions, however might be a bit lighter. I dominated out the eggplant shade as a result of my cat likes to sleep on my desk chair, and I simply think about that deep shade being coated with cat fur. I’d reasonably have a lighter shade that may disguise it a bit. Additionally, I plan to color the bases on my work tables eggplant, and I don’t wish to overdo the eggplant within the room.
I do wish to carry the floral print into this space, and since I’ve dominated out the wall, the glass-front higher cupboard, and the desk chair, I’ve determined to make use of two desktop lamps on the countertop beneath the window, and I’ll use the floral print on these lamp shades. I don’t need these actually skinny buffet lamps. I think about one thing extra like this 24.5-inch lamp (however not silver).
I discovered this lamp at Lamps Plus, and I might simply use my cloth (printed a lot smaller than I had printed for the curtains) to cowl the little lamp shade.
Right here’s what two of them would appear like on this space…
It’s simply the correct quantity of floral print for this space, in my view.
And at last, I’ve determined what to do with the desk. (That is an outdated image of the desk, however you possibly can see the desk clearly right here.)
I’m going to color the bottom gold, the desktop white, and add two shallow drawers (which I bought on Amazon). I believe a lightweight coloured desk will look incredible with a inexperienced desk chair and pink cupboards. And this desk is the right dimension and really sturdy and strong, so I don’t wish to do away with it and begin over when a makeover will do.
And I nonetheless have my coronary heart set on making a pendant gentle that appears like this to go over the desk.
So I now have all of it put collectively in my thoughts. Now I simply have to get all of it executed! And our climate is beautiful as we speak, so it seems prefer it’ll be an ideal day for portray the cupboard doorways and drawer fronts. I’m shifting proper alongside!
