In-line with the current trend for rich wood tones throughout the home, leading fitted bedroom and home office specialist Sharps’ has introduced striking walnut finish to its home office collection.
Designed to blend seamlessly with Malmo, their number one bedroom range, Sharps’ home office enables homeowners to combine a home office with their bedroom space without compromising on the overall scheme and creating a wealth of storage opportunities so that every inch of space is used.
As seen in kitchen design, walnut finish is also proving to be incredibly popular in the bedroom too as it creates an impact whilst offering a timeless look that won’t date, especially when teamed with contemporary chrome bar handles.
Also available in light oak, alder and maple finishes to suit any scheme, this latest home office provides a range of innovative storage options to choose from including interior pull-out shelves for easy access and narrow cupboards that are ideal for computer tower unit storage.
Another option which is great for more compact bedrooms is the stable door, which allows for the desk to be positioned up against the wardrobe unit without losing the all-important clothes hanging space in the corner.
Sharps comments on how to create the perfect home office space:
“In recent years we have seen an increase in demand for home offices, especially for workstations that are incorporated into a bedroom, as they provide a flexible solution for families with teenagers at home. Also, more people seem to be bringing work home with them and especially when space is a concern, incorporating a work area within a bedroom design is the best solution. Bespoke fitted furniture makes the most of available space as it can be customised to fit to suit your specific requirements.
“When considering the layout of your home office, bear in mind the following points to ensure comfort and ease of use:
1) Position your keyboard directly in front of your body, at a comfortable height, which allows you to relax your shoulders and maintain an open position with your elbows. Ensure that your forearms are kept parallel to the floor and that your fingers are always lower than your wrists. For added practicality, opt for a slide-out keyboard shelf.
2) Ensure that your monitor is positioned at arm’s length, directly in front of you. The screen should be positioned tilted back between 10 to 20 degrees.
3) Make the most of clever storage features in order to ensure that everything is within easy reach. Sharps offer clever options such as a desk cupboard featuring two slide-out shelves, which is ideal for printers and scanners.
4) Use a shelving system that is fully adjustable in order to ensure that you can adapt it according to your changing requirements.
5) Make sure that cables are kept tidy, tangle-free and safely out of the way. Sharps provide cable outlet ports, which can be cut into the worktop as specified by the customer, plus a handy pop-up power unit which is ideal for plugging in portable items such as lap-tops, digital cameras and mobile phones.
”Your personal Sharps designer will be able to discuss all the available options with you so that together you can create the perfect bedroom and home office environment to suit your lifestyle and your home.”
