Globe Trotter’s Office with Sleek Custom Desk

Location: Spring City, PA

Designer Credits: Barbara Hayman

Project Overview:

The existing office was completely gutted to make room for the new transitional home office. The new porcelain taupe-gray floor was installed to mimic the look and texture of wood throughout the space. The clients wanted a desk that could accommodate two people and we custom designed wall to wall built-in storage unit with a custom built-in desk integrated. The desk was installed and attached to the light gray- colored built-ins and custom upholstered in a sleek, textured, dark gray faux leather fabric. To facilitate ease in use of the desktop, a custom glass top was fitted. It was also important that there were no wires visible so we cleverly designed the cabinetry to mask the wires which were then inserted into the desk from below via a custom cut out in the desk surface.

We also custom-designed a mural depicting the map of the entire world in blue and gray hues to fit an accent wall. Gray paint covered the rest of the walls in the room while a deep blue and white geometric rug grounds the space. For privacy and light control, we used a medium gray, textured fabric Roman shade. Stunning contemporary art in beautiful blues added interest and gorgeous color to space. To further satisfy her need for color, we reupholstered her round-backed desk chair in a feminine blue and white fabric and added pops of red accents throughout. A deep red velvet upholstered swivel chair also provides additional seating or a place to relax when they aren’t working.
