As January comes to a close and payday nears, it’s the perfect time to bring DIY and makeover projects to life.
2025 is the year to fall in love with every room in your home, rather than just focusing on redecorating the most-used spaces like the living room. While more people are working from home, the spare room-turned-office remains the most neglected space. A room where style matters little, as long as there is a desk and reliable Wi-Fi connection.
Designing an office space with thoughtful stylistic choices can work wonders for productivity and turn the workspace into a much more enjoyable environment. Vibrant colours can offer a boost of dopamine, energising creativity and focus, while calming neutral tones can promote a sense of calm.
Whether it’s bold and dynamic for high-energy tasks or peaceful and serene for deep concentration, design choices can help craft a space that enhances both mood and productivity.
“transforming the smallest and darkest room in my house”
Louise James, who shares DIY and home improvement ideas on social media, has transformed her spare room into a stylish and functional office space using paint and slat panels in Natural Ash.
The room came together with plants that complement the green hues and wood-effect panels, along with artwork that injects personality. White furniture and smart storage solutions keep the space sleek and practical, while a mirror helps create the illusion of a larger room. To complete the space, LED lighting was added between the slat panels to enhance both the functionality and aesthetic of the office.
With a few thoughtful design choices, a home office can transform from a dull space into one you’ll actually enjoy spending time in.
Be inspired to reimagine the smallest room in your home by exploring our slat panel collection to find the perfect choice for your walls.
