Best Industrial Shelving for UK Living Rooms and Home Offices

Shelving quietly does some of the hardest work in a home, and industrial designs make that work look good. Combining metal frames with timber shelves, industrial shelving stores, displays and divides all at once, which makes it a natural fit for both UK living rooms and home offices. In this guide we explain how to match a unit to the room by planning its contents first, why open frame designs suit smaller sitting rooms, and how sturdy metal shelving copes with the files and reference books a working from home setup demands. We also look at using a tall unit as a room divider between a work zone and a relaxing zone, getting the proportions right for your ceiling height, and styling shelves so they feel curated rather than crowded. With a little planning, industrial shelving can bring order and character to any room in the house while keeping everyday clutter neatly under control....

Best Affordable Wooden Desks With Drawers for UK Home Offices

A wooden desk brings a warmth and solidity that suits almost any British home, and adding drawers makes it far more practical for daily work.

7 Home Office Ideas for New Build Spare Rooms

New build spare rooms in the UK tend to share a familiar starting point: pale carpet, magnolia walls, a single window and one flat ceiling pendant.

This guide sets out seven home office ideas tailored to new build spare rooms, from anchoring the desk along the longest wall to building in a quiet reading corner that gives the room a second use....

6 Home Office Storage Ideas That Keep Desks Clear

A clear desk supports clearer thinking, yet it slips out of reach for most of us during a busy working week. Papers, cables, chargers and notebooks pile up quickly, and the surface starts to feel as cluttered as the day itself. The right storage choices solve this without forcing a clear out or a redesign of the room. A pedestal drawer under the desk, a slim filing cabinet nearby, a few wall shelves and a bookcase with mixed shelving each carry a different load. A closed cabinet hides cables and tech, while drawer inserts and trays handle the smaller, everyday items. This guide brings together six storage ideas that suit British homes, from compact flats to family houses where the office shares space with the rest of the family. Each one is practical, quietly stylish and shaped around the way real home offices are actually used....

Tips For Designing A Home Office Space To Suit You

Working from home is becoming ever more popular, and for the majority of us a lot easier to attain. Gone are the days when you needed a large computer, printer, fax machine and landline telephone. Technology has revolutionised our lives in so many ways, and the opportunities for home working are just one example. But while our working style has changed, our homes don’t always reflect that, although one US news provider highlighted a change that’s occurring stateside, and it’s likely a similar trend will follow in the UK. Bloomberg analysed real estate listings on Zillow, and found that the number mentioning home office space fell by 20 per cent in a year. It put this down to a change in preference among those who work from home - namely that they’re after flexibility and like to move around throughout the working day. That makes open-plan properties more appealing, and housebuilders in the US are catching on. But what does this mean for your own home office designs? Of course, it will depend on how much space you have. For someone living in a one-bedroom flat, the option of having a dedicated office is off the cards. And it will also depend on how...
