Entrepreneurs, officials, and representatives of technical professions cannot do without a separate workplace. Work with large amounts of data should be performed in a comfortable environment, maintaining the health of the spine, the quality of vision, emotional balance. In this regard, the conditions of workrooms are increasingly repeated in apartments. At the same time, they copy the design of private houses and public institutions. It takes a lot of money to finish, so the cabinets can be replaced with a separate working area like an office corner. People have to sacrifice square meters of bedrooms, kitchens, hallways.

The appropriateness of an office in an apartment is a moot point. Usually content with a simple table. The changes will be positively appreciated by young people with non-standard thinking and those who can not do without their own workplace.

In home offices there is always a table, in public - also racks and catalog cabinets. From the public they take away all unnecessary if it is an office building. Mini-cabinets are equipped according to the ergonomic principle. The central part is always a work area with a table for the same purpose. The countertop is present in the definitions of the normal and maximum zones for work. In the second case, there is a free gap on the table from the fingers of outstretched arms to the edge. The back of the chair should not look in the direction of the entrance - out of decency. The main environment in the cabinet is from 925 to 1625 mm high. Everything is laid here. In total, 5 planes are distinguished by height, and the main one occupies the middle.

Studios count on different target zones under one ceiling and in close proximity. The living room with a corridor or a kitchen room is specially divided by a desk. It is also placed flush with the rest of the furniture and along the bar. In renovated housing, the proportions of rooms are changing in favor of a large hall with a living room and an office.The remaining rooms are allocated half the space, sometimes they are placed in a row. Among the additional rooms there is an office, pantry, wardrobe, workshop. It is advisable to place the cabinet in a naturally lit place, but exceptions are made for a full room. The room may be deaf. If these options are not available, the desk will have to be arranged with a pantry, a balcony, a kitchen room or a bedroom.

  2. Desktop, food storage.
  3. Combining a balcony with a room. Leave only a table and cabinets.

Cabinets are converted into insulated balconies and loggias. In this sense, indoor thermal insulation is enough. All pickles and non-essential items are transferred to the basement, garage or pantry. The initial finish is not left, if possible, the surface is sheathed with drywall and painted.The window is used as a logical partition or knocked out, forming a connection with the room. Those who like to work in silence should better not touch the window, in addition to replace the swing door with an accordion.

Cabinet in the pantry

First of all, large storerooms, small after dismantling doors, and large wardrobes are suitable. The solution will be a godsend for owners of a large number of computer equipment who want to clean the pantry and finally streamline everything, as well as perfectionists. The hinged door is usually cleaned in the pantry, leaving the entrance free or closing it with a curtain. The entrance structure is also changed to a book, accordion, sliding doors. Desks are set against the far wall under bright white illumination. As an alternative, they mount portable illuminators on shelves and a diffuser lamp on the wall. Shelves are sometimes sacrificed for the sake of a mirror, and things are hidden in sliding drawers of separately standing furniture. Productive activities may be hindered by constant movements behind your back, sound in an exhaust hood, or a feeling of tightness. Unpleasant moments will smooth out a cozy lamp atmosphere.

Combined workplace organization options

Uniting under one ceiling becomes a necessary event. In cramped conditions, one must act indirectly, sacrifice piles, think about the level of patency. Among the combination options there are spaces where there is enough space for the needs of the cabinet and functionality will not be lost. It's about the living room, kitchen, bedroom. In the bedroom, noise pollution approaches zero, unlike the kitchen.In the corners of the living room there are options for geometric combinations.

The kitchen is an equidistant room with useful utensils. The smallest difficulties in the arrangement of combined rooms are experienced in a housing studio. The space under the working area is found at several points at once under a continuous ceiling. Designers calculate the apartments so that there is where to watch television, relax, work and eat. Popular options include removing the wall of the balcony, the walls of the vestibule - in order to get more moves.

Study combined with bedroom

The spacious room has enough space for a full-fledged study with a transitional zone without partitions. In this case, the bedroom retains a restrained look. Lack of space leads to the fact that the room is turned into something design. Ideally, there is a clear area with different lighting and decoration. Cabinets make it brighter, help with light tones and additional light sources. In crowded conditions, they look for options like podiums to free up space, where in the end they set up a table. Compact rooms with a high ceiling are used as a bedroom with a bed, but on the second floor. The table in this case is left on the first.

Benefits for the surroundings will bring curtains. They hide the mini-cabinet with curtains and at the same time emphasize a cozy, isolated environment. Also use arches and sliding doors. In some cases, rooms are located on the loggia or balcony.

You should consider 2 lighting systems: with bright light and dim.

Study combined with living room

For the placement of the cabinet, choose an angle near the window, a strip next to it or opposite. In an improvised room, a desk, shelves, shelving, roller chair, computer and office equipment are purchased. The border is drawn with high furniture if they want to hide the office. Space under the recreation area is saved due to the arrangement along the walls. If possible, the surface of the hall is unloaded and the cabinet is operated.In elongated living rooms, they make a segment with an arch where they place a desktop.

Owners of functional living rooms will help transforming furniture. It is sold for any style and in a wide price range. In the hall, folding coffee and writing tables and a sofa will come in handy. The middle of the room will become less busy without bulky armchairs. The central part of one of the walls is best left at a home theater. Depending on the style of the cabinet, a central chandelier is selected.

Cabinet combined with kitchen

First you need to determine the area - in the future, theoretically, you will need a scanner, printer and other equipment. Table functions are performed by countertops, wall folding furniture. Whenever possible, the secondary contents of the office are hidden in a niche, a corner away from the working area of ​​the kitchen. The space is decorated with flowers, kitchenware, made monolithic with a room. It is good if the cabinet is equipped with a fan, a high-power lamp, shelves on the wall. In studio apartments, classrooms are purposefully designed into a link connecting the living room and kitchen. In this case, the worker will be able to quickly switch from his occupation to lunch. The kitchen cabinet is suitable for schoolchildren, young children, newlyweds who have acquired their own housing. Entourage should be developed by adding elements of culinary themes, color and uniform combinations.

How to choose a room for an office in a private house

Placement options:

  1. Attic.
  2. Basement.
  3. Border with hallway.
  4. 1st floor.
  5. 2nd floor.

Choosing a place for the office

Under the roof of the house is the best location. The head of the family can retire, delve into their affairs, observe landscapes from the height of the attic. The attic as a whole is suitable - the room is usually ready less than the rest. Useful space is formed there much easier. The basement is used as a "bunker". Commercial information is hidden in the room, the entrance is closed with an iron door.The cabinet on the 1st floor is located in the corner of the building, often without a door, with arched elements. The room on the 2nd floor is closed, surrounded by bedrooms. The most comfortable are the rooms with a door that opens into the hallway. If the area of ​​activity of the owners is connected with urgent and urgent matters, it will be inconvenient to run to the 2nd floor or to the end of the building. Among the beautiful options, it is worth noting an office in a panoramic bay window - a large balcony.

Cabinet Finishing Materials

Traditional classic and semi-classic rooms use wood and stone. The walls are finished with wooden panels and wallpaper, less often with paint. The floors are covered with solid wood boards, parquet, linoleum. Decorative plaster is applied to the ceilings, and if possible, wood is added. Cabinets in the style of the late XX century are decorated with artificial wood, laminate, decorative tiles.

For an office of the 21st century, the finish may be partially the same, but the time period should be displayed. Plastic panels and drywall cover the walls. They are also painted, covered with vinyl, cullet. The ceiling is made suspended, level. Partitions and furniture made of modern materials are bought into the interior, harmonizing the decor with the decor. Glass and metal are used indoors without indicative luxury and to create a work environment. Any exceptions are made for conceptual design.

The choice of stylistic direction

Fundamental Style Set:

  • Art Nouveau;
  • Empire
  • minimalism;
  • functionalism;
  • high tech;
  • fusion

Fusion Style

The border between traditional and new trends appeared in the 60s. From the offices began to remove the excess. High-ranking executives still need expensive armchairs, luxury items, and natural materials. Sectional walls, caissons on the ceilings, draperies on window openings organically look in the empire, modern and eclectic styles. Office managers should choose among mixed and progressive styles.Minimalism with free surfaces characterizes the owner of the cabinet as concise and striving for perfectionism. Fusion is suitable for representatives of the humanitarian professions, creative directors. For decades, the style has absorbed beautiful elements of different directions. If the work is related to design, technology, exact sciences, then high-tech will emphasize belonging to the field. The owners of the cabinets will not fit the styles associated with fashion, avant-garde, glamor.

Color spectrum

Classics are white and green-brown combinations. They are associated with a high level of wealth, professionalism. Wood, wallpaper and books became symbols of modernism in decoration, so they were historically used in classrooms and added brown to the palette.

Cabinets in light and technological styles have a white color. Modern techno-classic focuses and draws attention. Multi-colored dots are added only if the scope of activity logically corresponds to them.

The color scheme in the office

Beige in the cabin soothes and relaxes. The beige color is combined with absolutely all shades, even if not in the most spectacular combinations. Green reduces sensitivity to noise, relaxes the eyes. At the same time increases the ability to scrupulous and high-precision work. The invigorating yellow color is used in office rooms for many people. The tone is suitable for active groups with lively creative work.

Furniture: how to choose and how to arrange

From the point of view of ergonomics, the cabinet should perform direct functions, be roomy and thoughtful. In combined room options, folding, adjustable and compact tables benefit. For a separate office, they buy tables with bedside tables, secretaries, functional accessories, roll-out sections. The latter is used to receive guests. It is advisable that visitors sit opposite each other, simultaneously with a view of the exit. In an independent room, the table is set closer to the center.Walls, racks and cabinets are bought deep and low, not interfering with convenient work with documentation. All walls are furnished with furniture storages, with a solid line or with wide gaps. Optimum parameters depend on the size and purpose of the cabinet. Open shelves are bought in the combined room in the kitchen or pantry.

First they buy a table, then to choose the right style of the room.

Lighting

In the first place put natural light. Direct or reflected sunlight should not interfere with the eyes, but in moderation it increases the ability to work. Preference should be given to spaces without sharp transitions of light – shadow.

Due to the peculiarities of working in the office, a table lamp does not hurt: LED, halogen or incandescent. The color temperature is selected cold, it invigorates and improves concentration. Such a device will benefit in the room where negotiations are being conducted. Warm colors will suit creative people. Among the options for the distribution of light, the diffuse lighting scheme performs better.

The best will be dimmable fixtures. The brightness is regulated in 2 directions - increase during operation and decrease during communication. Devices are suitable for people with normal vision, myopia and farsightedness.

Decor

Living in rooms with a large decorative load feel good, but are distracted from the work process. Design items and classic decorations in bright colors will attract unnecessary attention. Small decorations must be removed from the tables, they are left literally 2-3. The role of functional decor is assigned to office supplies - organizers, coasters. In a respectable atmosphere in the spirit of antiquity, small globes and green Art Deco lamps are placed on the tables. Modern executives prefer to keep soft hand exercise machines near them, while decorating the room. The walls are decorated with ornaments, glass and mirrors - according to the classics.Surfaces are also diversified by photographs and 3D elements. On the shelves put fruit sets, books in color sequences, figures of attractions.

Organization of an office in Feng Shui

According to this teaching, the cabinet is closely connected with the outside world, therefore, the energy of yang is accumulated in it. Avoid passage rooms, which in principle is rare.

Feng Shui does not welcome the sitting position opposite the entrance. Facing a window or door is also not worth sitting down. A prolonged stay in this position causes discomfort. Confidence and optimism will give the wall behind. If several people use the table, they should sit down so as not to look at each other. Cold tones, first of all pure blue, must be removed from the situation.

The cabinet is not placed on the southwestern side, characterized by low energy. In turn, the north promotes professional growth, the northwest awakens management abilities. Northeast location, according to Feng Shui, is full of new knowledge. The entire northern region is filled with qi energy favorable for work.

Conclusion

The arrangement of the office in the apartment begins with the search for a free corner. In private homes, we are talking about a ready-made choice, sometimes right away in the project. In apartment buildings, reception rooms are done in the living room or as a working area, combined with a kitchen and living quarters. In the office for your own use, there is enough stationery, bright lighting, a comfortable chair. Bulky tables, bedside tables and chairs for guests in this case are superfluous. In an impromptu reception room, it is necessary to determine the location so that the windows and the doorway do not interfere. Often turn to the teachings of Feng Shui. According to some reports, the technique proved to be good in offices for the placement of employees.

Among the finishing materials for cabinets, preference is given to historical or modern classics.In most receptions there is a tree, direct forms, restrained tones.
