Custom Home Office Furniture

A dedicated study can accommodate a freestanding desk, reference shelving and a place to read. Where space is limited, a wall-hung desk with lit shelving above creates a complete workplace in a bedroom or guest room without claiming the floor.

In the Garden Residence, study walls are built into bedrooms as one piece of joinery — desk, shelving and wardrobe together — with fluted timber panelling framing the work surface.

We start from what the desk must hold: screens, computers, printers, files, books. Desk depth, cable routes, ventilation and lighting follow from this, so the workplace stays orderly and the cables stay out of sight.

A study is used for hours at a time, so light matters: daylight from the side rather than behind the screen, a task light that does not glare, and warm ambient light for evening. Soft surfaces — curtains, rugs, upholstered seating and filled shelves — absorb sound and make video calls noticeably better.

We plan desk position, shelving and lighting together so the room works in every season and at every hour.

Many homes want a room that is quieter than the living room but not only for work. The tea room in the Garden Residence — backlit shelving, a veined stone panel and a round-backed chair — shows how such a room can hold books, objects and conversation while remaining restful.

Needs change: a second screen arrives, a printer leaves, books accumulate. We design study furniture with adjustable shelving, spare cable capacity and storage that can be reorganised, so the room adapts rather than needing to be replaced. Desks can be sized for a second person, and cupboards can be planned to take equipment you expect to add later.
