Help me with my Home Office
Hi! I feel like I need to redesign my home office and could use some advice.
The first image shows the current layout, but I feel like I don’t have enough storage. I’m naturally pretty messy (ADHD brain), and the contents of the dresser are chaotic. The top of the dresser and my hobby desk are also constantly cluttered, and I haven’t been able to keep them tidy no matter how hard I try. I’m wondering if a room redesign with better storage solutions might help.
A bit of context:
- The door at the bottom leads to the hallway.
- The door on the left is the only access to the garage, laundry room, and garden.
Because of that, I placed the Kallax the way it is now to create a sort of walkway and separate the space a bit.
I’d really like to keep two desks, because I’m worried my work desk would become too cluttered if I didn’t have a separate hobby desk where I can leave projects out. I’d also prefer to keep the 3D printer where it currently is, since the cabinet it’s on is bolted to the wall.
The second image shows a layout idea I’ve been considering. The cupboard in the top-left corner would be custom-built to fit around that awkward corner and would go from floor to ceiling, hopefully adding a lot more storage.
My main concern with this second layout is that, as mentioned, my hobby desk is usually very cluttered. In the current setup, it’s mostly hidden from view when entering the room because of the Kallax. In the new layout, it would be the first thing people see when they walk in. On the other hand, my actual work desk would feel more private and sheltered, which I like.
Do you think a redesign like this would help with storage and organization, or am I just shifting the clutter around? Any suggestions are welcome!
