What Houzz contributors are saying:
Brighten with a rugAll white can be calm and non-distracting – useful in a working environment – but it can also look a bit sterile and cold. By simply laying down a patterned rug, you can dramatically alter the feel of the space. Pinch one from another room first to try out the look.
Create contrast with concentrated patternIn an all-white space, concentrated pattern can be king. This eaves office has a pale colour scheme to lift light levels, but on the floor a patterned rug carries the focus as well as helping to ground the design.Rugs can be focal points in all sorts of ways besides pattern. Look for deep-pile designs where texture is the point of difference, or unusual shapes that can break up an open-plan space or create a stage for a dining table and chairs.Tell us…What’s your favourite interiors piece and how have you presented it in your home?

Desk the hallsFor narrow spaces, a console-style desk will take up floor area while making the most of available wall space. With just enough width for a computer, and being long enough for laying out other work, it’s the ideal size and shape for creating an office area in a small room, or even a wide corridor.
