Olioboard, the free online mood board creator, offers sponsored contests as well as suggested challenges from members of the Olioboard community. One of the suggested contests that is currently running is a challenge to design a functional modern style home office.
This is what I came up with….

The home office is becoming a must in today’s homes since more people are opting to work from home. I envisioned this office as part of a family room where a person can work at their desk and still be part of the action. The bookshelves, filing cabinet and storage ottoman turn this space into an organized and functional office. I chose a complementary color scheme of yellow and blue to energize the mood and encourage productivity.
Now, If you are a mom or dad with small children, I know what you must be thinking; this design would not work in MY home. I envisioned a couple’s home when I designed that room. But you know, if you have an extra room in your home that you can use as the office, then this would be a great retreat for you. You can even use it to entertain your friends or meet with clients. I have 4 children of my own and I would love to have a simple office space that I can call my own. 🙂
Would this design work in YOUR home? Why/Why not?
P.S. The winners of the Benjamin Moore Contest were announced yesterday at Olioboard. This was my entry:
Unfortunatlly, my board was not among the winners! Click here to see the winning moodboards.
I received a good number of votes which is a great encouragement on its own. 🙂
