Sleek and stylish ideas for your home office

Chumbak, Bangalore

For people who love to surround themselves with eye-catching hues and out-of-the-box ideas, Chumbak’s Bangalore office is the epitome of whimsicali­ty. The work space is fun and vibrant with an open plan that allows open conversati­ons and interactio­n between employees. The design incorporat­es bright colours, natural light and ample ventilatio­n. Teal and yellow, the two defining colours of Chumbak play a prominent role in painting the interiors with zeal. Co-founder Shubhra Chadda candidly shares, “Since 80% of our day is spent at work, we wanted our work space to be decorated the way we would maintain our living spaces. Keeping this in mind and ensuing that these fun elements do not hinder productivi­ty, we created shelves and niches at key points and placed our favourite items there. We’ve designed the office to look simple and clean, which ensures efficiency and functional­ity.”

Pentagon Design, Finland

If you are planning to transform an old part of your home into your new office, peek in and gather some smart ideas from Pentagon Design’s work space that dwells its base in an old hat factory. Occupying top two floors of the building, their spacious office welcomes plenty of natural light and impeccable outdoor views. The space that once hosted a photograph­y studio now serves as the work domain for 16 profession­als from different fields of design. In order to create a juxtaposit­ion between the old and the new parts, the existing surfaces are smeared in white while the new additions such as storage spaces and toilets are situated in dark blocks. The designers decided to leave the old structures bare and some elements such as new staircase are designed to give an old look. Colours are thrown in a restricted yet bold manner on selected items like space dividers and upholstere­d furniture to complement the serenity of white.

GFK, Gurgaon

Designed to give the vibe of modern day space, GFK’s work place is perfect for people who love clean spaces and crisp interiors, balanced with organic freshness. Designer Hardesh and Monica have dexterousl­y invited quirkiness into the corporate interiors of the office through an off beat decor scheme. A vertical garden on the entrance walls affirms to build an invigorati­ng and vibrant environmen­t. Clean and clutter-free layouts of the cubicles and workstatio­ns map out defined pathways and connectivi­ty. Keeping in mind the contempora­ry nature of the space, multi-functional pieces have been added. The lounge area echos a relaxing and rejuvenati­ng ambiance through splashes of green and grey on sofas and poufs. The office has been very smartly counterbal­anced with edgy lines and natural green elements.
