MAKE ROOM FOR A HOME OFFICE
Posted on 25 September 2013 In home office ideas, home office designs, space saving, fitted offices
Betta living has launched three new Home Office designs due to the huge increase in demand.
Head of Design at Betta Living Jamie Dean says: “There is an increasing number of people in the UK choosing to work from home so its no wonder that the home office is becoming a key room, even rivaling the lounge and kitchen when it comes to design features.”
Why the sudden demand?
Jamie claims, "People are choosing fitted furniture because it looks neater than freestanding. So rather than just putting in "desks" and "shelves”, if offices are in the home people are opting for fitted furniture because they can hide everything away and keep the room neat and tidy."
Internal storage is built into the units, and the space is hugely practical – designed exactly around how people want to use them.
The clean white finish to Betta Living’s Brilliance Home Office gives a modern and fresh feel. With deep drawers and large cupboards there is ample storage space for files, stationery and other office supplies. Betta Living’s Brilliance Home Office is available from £1,728 (based on a guide layout)
Betta Living’s Cassia Home Office shows how a more traditional home office could look. The practical and spacious cupboards and drawers help to keep everything organised and tidy, creating the ideal work environment. Betta Living’s Cassia Home Office in Limed oak is available from £1,356 (based on a guide layout)
SPACE SAVING HOME OFFICE
Many homeowners don’t boast the space to have a room that is exclusively an office. Betta Living designers noticed a massive trend towards doubling up the guest room as an office and so designed its Esprit and Lucetta Home Office ranges with this in mind.
Betta Living’s Head of Design Jamie Dean comments: “Built-in cupboards with internal storage means you can maximise every square inch of the room, and with everything having in it’s own place it enables you to put the office away at the end of the working day.
“The Betta Living home office collection comes in a range of finishes, from the Esprit’s clean white Nocino to the Lucetta’s warm walnut – so you can design your office to suit your home perfectly.
“One of the most effective space-saving features is the foldaway bed (shown below). This nifty gadget transforms your office into an inviting guest room in one quick manoeuvre.”
