Home office with built in storage and his and hers desk.

The stylish home office has a distressed white oak flooring with grey staining and a contemporary fireplace with wood surround.

The owners of this stunning Mosman Park home decided the only way was up when it came to their dream home, opting to add a modular second storey rather than buying an existing home or starting from scratch.

The image displays a streamlined home office area that is the epitome of modern minimalism. The built-in desk and shelving unit are painted in a soft neutral tone, providing a clean and cohesive look that blends seamlessly with the room's decor. The open shelves are thoughtfully curated with a mix of books, decorative objects, and greenery, adding a personal touch and a bit of nature to the workspace. A stylish, contemporary desk lamp with a gold finish stands on the desk, offering task lighting with a touch of elegance. The simplicity of the lamp's design complements the overall minimalist aesthetic of the space. The chair at the desk is a modern design piece itself, featuring a black frame with a woven seat and backrest, adding texture and contrast to the space without sacrificing comfort or style. The choice of chair underscores the room's modern vibe and dedication to form as well as function. Underfoot, the carpet's plush texture provides comfort and warmth, anchoring the work area and contrasting with the sleek lines of the furniture. This office space is a testament to a design philosophy that values clean lines, functionality, and a calming color palette to create an environment conducive to productivity and creativity.

The client’s brief was to create a mid-century themed office in a Grade II listed building in the City of London. Apart from fully redecorating the space with a new colour scheme, carpet, lighting and window dressing, we sourced mid-century design classics for our client and designed a bespoke freestanding wardrobe. In the client’s own words “it is a room to be enjoyed, and I do so on a daily basis, with the prospect of working within such a pleasant space providing an active incentive to make the trip to the office! All your choices -paint, colour, furniture and lighting fit seamlessly together.”

The cabinetry is constructed with a durable internal carcass of 16mm white HMR melamine, finished with 1mm matching ABS edging for a clean, long‑lasting result. Externally, all doors and panels feature 18mm Vinyl Wrap flat‑face profile fronts in the elegant “Renolf Wolfram Grey”, delivering a smooth, contemporary aesthetic. Shelving elements include 35mm floating shelves and 25mm tall open shelves, both finished in Polytec “Natural Oak Woodmatt”, adding warmth and natural texture to the space. Benchtops are specified in 33mm Polytec “Bottega Oak Woodmatt” laminate, providing a cohesive tonal connection to the shelving while offering durability and ease of maintenance. All drawer systems are premium Blum Merivo Box soft‑closing drawers, paired with Blum soft‑closing hinges and hinge blocks to ensure smooth, reliable operation throughout. Handles are integrated with a clean finger‑pull design, maintaining a minimalist, streamlined look. Lighting is enhanced with warm LED strip lighting installed beneath wall cabinets and within open shelving, creating both functional illumination and ambient effect. A 12mm Woven Image Echopanel acoustic pinboard in “Smoke Grey” is incorporated, offering both visual softness and practical acoustic performance.

With a busy work schedule and two small children, the homeowners of this recently refurbished family home in Sevenoaks, Kent, commissioned Burlanes to design and create an open plan, organised home office space, that is productive, practical and good looking. Burlanes were also commissioned to create a storage solution for the family's coats, shoes and bags in the entrance hallway.
