Top 4 Home Office Ideas

workspace-designWorking from home can sometimes be a harrowing experience. Clutter builds up and it seems like there are distractions and noises everywhere. Utilize good workspace design to organize your office, focus on your work, and create an aesthetically pleasing space with these simple ideas.

Organization

Before you can start working in your office again, address the need for organization. Do you have tons of clutter, papers, and trash surrounding you? Does it look like a computer cable jungle? Then install closet organizers and custom cabinetry in your workspace design. Besides being functional, having extra storage hides away the unnecessary mess and allows you to focus clutter-free on your task at hand. There are many closet organizer systems that you can use. Custom cabinets designs can accommodate computer gear, office equipment, unsightly files, and more. Speak with an experienced design professional about your unique organizational needs.

Personal Taste

While you want to keep your overall home office space clean and professional, don’t forget to add in a little fun. Personalized photographs and special keepsakes can add a little bit of personality to a space without adding clutter and distraction. Keep the room functional, but add in a little bit of humor.

Lighting

Never underestimate the power of good custom lighting. If you are the computer for hours on end or have to read hundreds of papers as part of your work, have warm white lighting to help avoid eye strain. Electronics emit harmful blue light. Be sure that you allow your eyes to rest and have enough lighting to do your work without harming your eyes. Setting up your desk by a window, to give yourself a view and provide natural lighting, is an excellent way to use lighting to your advantage. Talk with a professional designer about how you can use office organizers and lighting to enhance your work experience.

Add a Little Green

Nothing breathes life into a room like adding beautiful lush greenery. Besides enhancing the overall aesthetics of your office, plants also clean the air and trigger feelings of joy in your brain. Add several plants to your home office space.
Reorganize and rethink your home office to increase overall productivity. Enjoy the space. Make your office uniquely you.

pantry-shelvingYou are almost done with your kitchen renovation. Finally, you will have the beautiful kitchen of your dreams, with modern kitchen cabinets and efficient pantry shelving. But don’t forget the little finishing touches for your perfect home kitchen design.

Storage

When designing a new kitchen or renovating an older kitchen, it is easy to overlook storage. After all, storage areas are often unseen – pantry shelving and little nooks and crannies for our favorite kitchen gadgets and silverware. But don’t forget to consider your workflow and storage needs when designing. Be sure that you have plenty of room to store pantry items, kitchenware, pots and pans, and even your blender. Speak with your contractor about how you can maximize your space.

Creative Backsplash

Many times homeowners will forget about the backsplash. This tiny detail is an easy way to imprint your taste and unique style in your home. There are so many incredibly trendy and popular options for backsplashes today. Choose from a contemporary tiled look to a fun and crazy pattern. Use recycled materials for a truly unique look or opt for something more traditional.

Knick Knacks

Does your kitchen say anything about YOU? If not, add a few special knick-knacks and pictures that say a little something about your style and your personality. For example, maybe you love Paris? Then head to a thrift shop and purchase a few little items to remind you of Paris. Or maybe you have a penchant for Latin American cooking, your family history, or even just love flowers. Add photos, porcelain figures, unique kitchen items, and trendy colorful napkins and floral arrangements to make your kitchen uniquely you.
These are just a few ways to add some personal last finishing touches to your kitchen design. They are simple and fun, letting you share your taste and personal style with friends and family.

5 Common Questions About Wall Units

wall units torontoWith people having more money to spend on the things they want but no space in the home, it can be tricky trying to find a place to put it all. That’s where storage comes in, and some of the best kinds of storage available on the market are wall units. Here are some things to know about wall units in Toronto.

Different Types of Storage Solutions: Which Suits You

Storage Solutions in TorontoAs we grow and get older, it’s only natural that we accumulate more things, and almost every household has that drawer to put things in – but it doesn’t have to be that way. With a seemingly endless list of different storage solution available today, here is our lowdown on which types are the best for your needs.

Storage Solutions in Toronto – What Works and Why?

1. Open Storage (shelves, bookcases, glass-door cabinets etc)
• Open storage units are great if you want an attractive way to display your possessions that either look good or you want to be easy to reach. By having aesthetically pleasing items like books and jewellery on display, it provides a quirky, cool vibe and will work as a great conversational starter. It also provides the opportunity to rotate what you’re showing off – great if you’re the type of person who gets bored of their décor quite quickly. Easily one of the most fashion-conscious storage solutions in Toronto.
• However, this type of storage is only fine if you can make it work and depends on what you’re putting in plain sight – books and trinkets look good yes, but power tools? Not so much.
2. Hidden Storage
• A growing storage solution in Toronto, hidden storage looks to take advantage of any spare space you have. Particularly effective in rooms such as the kitchen where appliances can take up a lot of shelf space and make the place look cluttered, hidden storage is a great way to work with what you’ve already got and turn potential wasted space into futuristic storage compartments. Examples include folding-out storage, pull out racks and even spaces for chairs and tables to seamlessly slide inside.
• This kind of storage will require a lot of thought and perhaps the help of an expert to plan. It’s expensive, too – but worth it.
3. Overhead Storage
• Overhead storage is great because it utilizes space that otherwise will be wasted. By installing units such as cupboards on top of existing storage solutions, you can take advantage of that previously unoccupied space and find a home for those large items that have been taking up space elsewhere.
• Yet overhead storage isn’t for everyone – especially those who can’t reach it! For some people it simply isn’t practical, and dangerous if you’re reaching or climbing to get to it, so keep that in mind.
4. Furniture Storage
• If you’re looking to blend style with storage, then furniture with storage built in is a great choice. From buffets and ottomans to divan beds, there’s a wide range of products that come with ample storage space.
• Keep in mind that the prices can be high, especially if you’re going custom made.
There’s No Shortage of Storage Solutions in Toronto
Whether it’s hidden or in plain sight, stylish or practical, there’s definitely something out there for everyone when it comes to storage options. Don’t be afraid to look around and experiment – quite often, the best storage solutions are ones that utilize a mixture of different styles.

Why Closet Organizers Offer Outstanding ROI

Closet Organizers in Toronto Every year there seems to be a new furniture trend, and this year it’s definitely closet organizers in Toronto. Not only do they look good, they’re practical too, making them a much-desired product. With more and more people looking to finally organize their closets, here’s a look at how buying one can actually save you money in the long run.

How Closet Organizers in Toronto can Save You Money

1. They’re Customizable
The beauty of closet organizers really lays in their customizability. From overhead storage options to draws and rails, closet organizers seek to utilize all possibilities in order to give you exactly what you want to suit your storage needs. By taking the time to assess your needs accurately, you can cater for them in one fell swoop, reducing the risk of going out to buy more storage options in the future.
Having everything under one roof in one unit is much cheaper that having to go out and individually buy, for example, a set of drawers, another cupboard and a clothes rail. They’re made to last too, so you don’t have to worry about buying another one if it falls down – like your flat pack DIY choices inevitably will.
2. You Won’t Lose Anything
The beauty of a closet organizer is that you can design it with your needs in mind, meaning you’ll know exactly where you’re putting everything. This means it will be harder to lose something; no more rushing about trying to think where you put your gym shoes – you’ll know exactly where they are because they have their own section.
Not many things are worse than thinking you’ve lost something only for it to turn up once you come home with its replacement, and with a closet organizer, you can say goodbye to the chances of that happening again.
3. Increased Productivity
The Chinese concept of feng shui relates a clean, tidy environment to how you feel. By having everything so neat and organized, you’ll start the day on a brighter note for not having to rush around and throw together an outfit. This calm feeling and lack of stress can help you to be more productive, whether it’s at work or in the home, and shouldn’t be sniffed at.
4. Your Home’s Value Will Rise
Because of how trendy closet organizers in Toronto are, by having one you can expect your home’s value to rise. A sought after feature like this will not only increase the value, it will attract more bids too, meaning that they will more than pay for themselves should you ever wish to sell your home. Not bad for something you bought to try and keep yourself sane in the mornings!
Closet Organizers in Toronto – A Product for Both Now and the Future
There’s no denying that closet organizers are a wonderful product to have in the home – space saving, mood raising and easy to use. But their true value lays in the fact that they can save you money in the future – which makes them almost priceless.
