Layout and ideas for awkward attic office

2 years ago

Hi all!

I am really hoping that this forum will help me with a design dilemna!

I am currently sketching ideas for an office room within my attic room.

The room is a slightly awkward shape due to sloped room and built in storage cupboard.

I am planning on using a Capenter to commission bespoke cabinetry- however I am fully stuck as not really sure where to start.

Can anyone at all help or suggest layouts to guide me? (Any guidance at all would really help!)

I need a desk to fit two monitors and at least one cupboard where I can hide a printer inside.

Ideally if I had the space I would love a small integrated fridge and possibly small tv. Although these are not essential but just extras if possible!

the radiator in the photo is also being moved to upright radiator behind the door!

bedroom 6 in the floor plan will be the office!

I’m looking forward to seeing any suggestions anyone may have as I am really not sure where to start!

Wow! What a lovely space. I would put two desks across from each other and build in a bar area to the back wall.

That sounds great, with the bar area… the window is quite low against that back wall?

any ideas on how to design bar in that area at all?

any suggestions would be really appreciated 😊

I'd go for an L shaped sofa. This then would divide the room between the archway and the L I would create a study area - a modern desk (not a computer desk from an office supplies store) with a fancy lamp and chair. Tie in the style to the sofa - contemporary, modernist etc. I too like the idea of a console table behind the sofa on the side of sofa and arch and maybe a Ron Arad book worm book shelf on the wall facing the sofa to pick up the curve of the arch. Come to think of it, if your budget is generous a slightly curved sofa would look great too.

Purlins are horizontal roof structures- do you mean that or do you mean the the side walls in the upstairs space can not be removed. In my opinion you need to be able to knock through the existing walls upstairs otherwise this space won't be big enough for the ensuite bedroom you want. A friend if the family has recently done this in a 1950s bungalow without issue so don't assume it's a non starter. I would estimate the cost of removing the chimney to be £2800. If it were me I would site a bathroom between the two bedrooms on the right and make the kitchen big enough to be a kitchen diner. If you need an additional room downstairs you could split that large lounge.

Hi- as a very quick suggestion, I would put a shallow bookcase on the left hand side of the window, then run a long shelf over the radiator all the way along the radiator. (You may wish to get a radiator cover too). Then I would put wall hooks underneath the shelf. The children will soon be able to reach and use both, giving them a place to put toys and hang up their own coats or dressing up costumes.

Let him and his friends decide? Bean bags - large ones - for seating and a tv on a moveable table/cart ( or wall hung on a flexible bracket) That way they can set up however they like. Everything can the be stored when not in use. Add a gaming chair for when he wants it. Plus, rope light seems to be ‘a thing’ :-)

If you want to commission a carpenter to build this then you really need to also invest in getting a good design done that will allow the carpenter to see what you need and to price the work accordingly.
Otherwise it’s all very open to interpretation.

Hi Shagufta,

What a lovely space!

I would have one long desk where two people can sit on the wall opposite the window, then build a small kitchenette / bar area on the wall area to the right of the window, where the radiator currently sits.

This way leaves you all the light from the two windows in the space.

If you need help with any designs, do let us know!
