Storage is the name of the game
Many of us have claimed that “storage room” is our office. But for some reason, it just doesn’t feel quite like an office. We must always start by decluttering the space and saving those items that are basic necessities or of major importance. After this process, in comes the storing agents. And while we quickly tend to think about those bulky plastic boxes, the designer’s version would be a set of elegant bookcases with intricate surfaces like the Kyoto Etagere by Global Views I used at the flex-room in Seasonal Living Magazine Luxury Designer Virtual Showhouse. This beautiful piece serves not only for storage but also for displaying a collection of books, precious artifacts, etc.
About that flex room
In this multipurpose room I designed for Seasonal Living Magazine Luxury Designer Virtual Showhouse, I worked with a reasonable room size (around 180 sq ft) that already had a folding door system. This helped tremendously in creating a division of spaces. So when the guest room needed to be used, these doors would close to allow some privacy on this side. Another important item for this secondary room was the bed. I used for this purpose the Hartley Sofa from Universal Furniture because of its size (83W X 35D X 32H, resembling that of a standard twin bed) and it’s linear design which evoked elegance. This multipurpose sofa can be used as an additional sitting area, and also as a bed when needed.

Impactful details
There are some important details that I implemented in my space for that impactful look. To create a comforting atmosphere, I used a neutral palette mixed with some moody. This helped in conveying a calming and organic experience. One of my key elements in this room was the Cosentino Dekton Kira slab behind the desk area. It created the illusion of bigger space and it’s earthy color and veining brought in a direct connection with nature.
Dare to be bold
No matter the size of your studio/ flex-room, there’s no need to shy away from comfort. Always remember to add key functional elements that will work with your needs and finish that will speak to your soul.
