Work In Progress

Whether you work from home or just need a convenient spot for checking Facebook and emails, you’ll be much more productive in an inviting and stimulating environment

1 SCANDI COOL

To give this work-from-home space a creative aesthetic, Cape Town interior stylist Leigh Cattell of Simply Home chose a combination of natural textures and clean-lined furniture offset by lashings of white. A custom-designed wallpaper print makes a feature of one wall, and to furnish the room, she used a Scandi-style trestle desk, hexagonal shelving, and a circular mirror.

2 SMALL WONDER

Even the tiniest nook can become an admin station, especially if you have a laptop. Squeezed in below wine storage, this tiny kitchen alcove has a shelf to work on, a pinboard for reminders and there’s even space for a lamp and a vase of flowers.
