My Room
it can be tricky to fine-tune a standing desk’s height. There are online calculators to help you figure out what’s best ergonomically based on your body measurements. Be sure to wear shoes that give good support when standing and factor those into your height measurement. You may also decide to add a supportive mat, like the ones commonly used in kitchens in front of the sink. If you do, you’ll need to factor this into your height measurement as well.
We’ve been told that sitting for long periods is not good for our health. But standing for long periods also may cause problems, according to research published in the journal Ergonomics. So what should you do? Split the difference with a bilevel work setup. Having a standing desk paired with a traditional desk and chair means you can alternate between standing and sitting as the mood strikes.
Tassels like this and the one at Terra Sol for tops of windows? Some privacy??
Mural behind altar?
Tuck a string of fairy lights in a glass bell jar to light up a corner, or put them in a large glass bowl on the coffee table, along with some shiny baubles to catch and reflect the light, for a twinkling display.
Design idea: Loft bed over desk. Why: If you don’t have room for a Murphy bed in the home office but want to include a place for guests, a loft bed is a great option. Choose a twin size (or larger if you have the space) and place a desk and shelving below. Planning tip: This style bed will work only for guests able to climb a ladder to reach the bed, so it may not be the best choice if your most frequent visitors are older or have limited mobility —
a good rule of thumb when pairing up different colors. Imagine this as a black-and-white photo: These two colors would both read as roughly the same shade of gray. Dark colors are also a wonderful backdrop for brighter shades and warm metallics. Just look at the way the yellow accents leap out against the blue and purple, and see how the warm copper-colored pendant light glows from the wash of teal blue behind.
Gild the ceiling. The standout feature, however, is the gold-painted ceiling. Often overlooked, the ceiling, or “fifth wall,” is a great place to experiment with color, and the warm gold here creates a cocooning. effect. Would silver “cool” a room and expand it?
How can you separate the different areas in an open-plan space? With directional wall paint! This simple diagonal line divides a calm and restful blue around the bed from a crisp white that demarcates the wardrobe area. Separate desk area from yoga/wardrobe?

Guest room closet? Use a shelf. Slip a modest workspace into a run of wall-mounted shelving. As mentioned before, a depth of 14 inches will accommodate a laptop; a desktop computer could use at least 20 inches.
Master the basics. Whatever the form or location of your home office, know the dimensions you need for it to work smoothly. A typical desk is 30 inches high, the same as a dining table. Use the 6 inches or so between the top of your thighs when you’re sitting and the underside of the desk to fit in useful drawers. A desk depth of 14 inches suffices for a laptop, with 24 inches being more common. For pinning notes and reminders, leave a zone of about 20 inches between the top of the desk and any overhead shelves. Space shelves about 14 inches apart to accommodate binders and oversize books. Bookshelves are commonly 12 inches deep. Allow for lots of outlets too — at least twice as many as you think you’ll need.
Use cubby slots in wall for office stuff? Paper based projects, books or reference materials?
