Let's talk about how the interior of a study in an office should be. The manager's office is the business card of the organization and the first impression of its owner. And therefore, in the design of the office, you need to "put your heart", think over everything thoroughly, revise the various options, and with special diligence create status and comfort in it.

Of course, the furnishings of the office of a municipal official and the head of a kindergarten will be radically different. But, in any case, the interior of the head's office, its design, must necessarily give an idea of ​​the type of activity of the organization and the business qualities of its head.

The surrounding space has a great impact on both performance and what kind of internal situation will develop between the leader and his subordinates. This means that if the furniture is correctly selected and arranged, and the interior is calm, not oversaturated with decorative elements, it will be easier to work.

The manager's office is the place where important decisions are considered and made, as well as an area where you can relieve stress and take a break.

1. An office is a work area. There cannot and should not be unnecessary furniture and objects that will distract, scatter and divert attention. Do not turn your office into a warehouse for expensive items;
2. This is your office, bring your personality into it. It's good if it has some kind of reflection of your personality. Think about what you would like to see, whom to remember. It can be family photos, some trinkets, something personal - just don't "go too far", everything is fine in moderation;
3. Try to keep your work life as simple as possible. Provide yourself with minimal travel the ability to access everything you often need for work. Try to keep everything close at hand, functionally arrange the necessary office equipment;
4. Select furniture according to the size of your office. A small office should not be overloaded with massive furniture;
5. Try to create coziness in your workplace. After a busy day at work, you just need some rest. And to relax and immerse yourself in your thoughts, you see, it is more pleasant in comfort;
6. Of course, your status and the type of activity of the organization you lead must be guessed at. The office of the head of an energy company reflects its serious and responsible specifics, and in the office of the director of the theater a young spectator may, for example, find a collection of dolls.

Let's take a look at a few examples:

Psychology of color in the office of the head

We will start decorating your office with the choice of style, we will talk about how to choose the right color for the walls.

Psychologists have proven that all colors, without exception, have:

• its influence on our mood;
• modify the perception of the surrounding reality;
• can concentrate or, conversely, disperse attention;
• mask flaws and imperfections in the interior;
• with the help of color, the interior design can be brought to perfection;
• optimize the internal atmosphere;
• has a significant impact on the mental and physical condition.

Of course, there are a great many shades of color. But before choosing the color of the interior in the executive's office, let's first get acquainted with the characteristics of each of the options using the video in this article:

	Although the red color stimulates the nervous system, it reduces performance because it causes an association with inhibitions, anxiety, failure, and the approach of danger. They like to use this color in food advertisements, in the design of cafes, in restaurant emblems, as it increases the appetite. So, if you want to choose an interior in red, put a refrigerator with food somewhere in a secluded place.
	Color makes a warm impression on visitors, clients, guests, so if your style of work suggests this, you can use it successfully. But according to the color spectrum, the color is next to red, it is used, for example, as a warning about danger on the road. This color also increases appetite, so that the refrigerator is not yet removed anywhere. If you like this color, then it is better to use the orange shade: it is softer and not annoying.
	This sunny color brightens the office, increases energy and invigorates you. But you need to use these cheerful shades extremely carefully: they strain your eyes, which means your eyes will get tired very quickly. If you want to opt for yellow, then you should not take bright colors as a basis, but rather use softer shades. Note: if you have small children, it is better to choose a different color, because studies have shown that yellow provokes children's whims and tearfulness; in a yellow room, children cry more often.
	The color of "green" we associate with money. Researchers recommend using this color in both children's and adult rooms. It has a calming effect on the nervous system and has a beneficial effect on well-being. In green offices, headaches and stomach aches are less common. Color helps to quickly recover from stressful situations, so if your work involves nervous tension - this color will come in handy.
	Blue is often used in office interiors. Labor productivity with this color increases, fatigue is removed, the nervous system calms down, and creative people do not run out of inspiration. Now we can clean the refrigerator, because the blue color reduces appetite.
	The color of a clear cloudless sky, symbolizes coolness, seems transparent, welcoming and kind. After a hard day at work, mental, mental, emotional and physical stress, you can fully relax in it. It normalizes the work of the heart, relieves muscle tension.
	This color is associated with prosperity, wealth and success. Lilac or lavender has a calming effect on the nervous system and relaxes easily. So if the nature of your work involves stress, lavender and lilac are your shades. Note: A very beautiful combination is obtained if you paint three walls with purple, place lavender or lilac flowers on the fourth wall. This combination will sparkle with new colors and show themselves to the maximum.
	Pink color and its shades are not suitable for office interior decoration at all. This is a calm, warm, soothing color, which is more suitable for decorating the interior of a little girl's room. If you really like this color, then it is better to use coral.
	Turquoise is the color of coolness. In large quantities, it slows down, interferes with concentration, cools, soothes. Dark turquoise can be depressing and depressing. On the other hand, a small amount of turquoise calms the nervous system well, relieves stress and helps focus. Light turquoise looks very good where there is a lot of bright sunlight. The cabinet will appear excessively bright.
	White is freshness and purity, freedom and lightness. Visually creates the illusion of spaciousness and expands the space. Glass furniture will be a good addition. However, it is better to use it in a small office - in a large room it will be associated with a hospital ward.
	Solid, wooden, reliable, practical and stable brown color deliberately connects you to the home. Best used in combination with other colors, this color is a good addition to almost any color scheme.
	As a rule, walls are not painted black, with the exception of contrast with white. For most people, color evokes negative associations. But the contrasting combination, skillfully selected furniture, folders, accessories, will bring aesthetic pleasure to both the manager and his visitors.
	Sad melancholic gray color. It resembles late autumn with gray clouds and drizzling rain. But if you are a hyperactive leader and emotions are overflowing, then this is your color. He will calm you down and set you up for positive work.
	The color resembles the New Year, evokes associations of a holiday, recreation in the mountains with snow-white hats. Of course, no one makes a completely silver interior, but in the design of the details, this color looks impressive.

A few words about finishing the cabinet

The decoration of the manager's office should be cost-effective, so we will use the most simple, natural and noble materials. We must immediately count on long-term operation.

Consider what materials are used most often in the decoration of different areas of the manager's office:

• Walls plaster (you can use embossed, decorative plaster), paint, paste over with wallpaper (preferably plain), use wall panels, wood, revet with artificial or natural stone;
• On the floor they lay laminate, linoleum or parquet, a self-leveling floor will look good;
• Ceiling can be suspended even, can be done at different levels (additional light sources look good on such a ceiling), tension (allows to provide spot lighting).

Consider the options for finishing the manager's office using the example of these photos:

Let's talk about lighting

Tip: Don't place direct light over your head. For example, a lampshade attenuates harsh light, and from a floor lamp, light is directed upward and, reflected from the walls and ceiling, falls on you. When working at a computer, a desk lamp is well suited as a separate light source. Luminous paintings, decorative lamps on the walls delight the eye.

In the office, lighting must be correct and promote efficient work. It is better if it is multi-level and scattered. The lighting should not be too bright, it should not create unnecessary shadows.

That's why:

• Avoid direct overhead light;
• Consider additional lighting sources;
• Consider the location of the windows when placing the lamps;
• Natural, sunlight has a pleasant effect on a person, but it may be necessary to shade it at a certain time, think about it;
• Introduce a distracting, relaxing light source (such as a fireplace) into your interior.

Choosing furniture

Tip: So that ornate furniture does not interfere and distract from work, it is better to opt for simple, strict forms. It is better to equip small offices with built-in furniture, or purchase compact furniture of small dimensions. In large offices, massive furniture will look good. Ideal if it is wood or glass.

The main requirement is that the furniture in the office is functional: documents, stationery, office equipment, and some things from the personal plan must always be in the accessibility zone.

What designer accessories should be

Your office should be the perfect place to work and think. It doesn't have to look like an office, a touch of individuality must be present.

Accessories will help us with this:

• Both fabric and roller blinds look good... Blinds can be used. If the office is located in the office, then it is better to use vertical or horizontal blinds. They are very beautiful and environmentally friendly. Wooden or Venetian blinds are durable, however, there is a negative point here - a high price;
• A good accessory would be a picture.: it can be a landscape, a portrait, a modular painting, posters. The picture will look beautiful against a neutral wall background, with the right lighting. If you have creative imagination and artistic talent, then you can draw a picture or embroider it with your own hands. But the picture in the study should be one;
• Photo of loved ones on the table you will be reminded of your family and loved ones;
• Figures and figurines harmoniously complement the interior.

Note: In Feng Shui, for example, the pyramid is one of the strongest amulets. It carries positive energy and increases performance. You can also safely place in your office a figurine of the Indian elephant god - ganesha, which personifies the help of higher powers and leads to an increase in income. The dragon figurine concentrates good luck in business. The Hotei (old man with a money bag) figurine will attract capital.

Office zoning

Since in the office we will not only work, but also receive guests and have a rest, it is advisable to divide this very office, respectively, into three zones: working, for rest, and an area for receiving guests.

• So that nothing distracts you, try to separate the workplace at least visually. In the working area, everything should be clearly distributed, located functionally: everything you need is at hand.
• If space permits, then it is better to move the recreation area so as to distract from the work moments (you can use the balcony). Create cozy comfort: let there be a comfortable armchair, or even a sofa, a TV. After making important decisions, you need to relax, rest, maybe even sleep.
• The reception area should be conducive to socializing. Your workplace should be located opposite a separate guest area. For visitors, you need to put a sofa or armchairs so that they can sit comfortably and tune in to business communication. You can divide areas using color.

Styles of modern office design

The choice of design style depends on what kind of activity the firm or the company you manage. The preferences of the owner of the cabinet play an important role. To make it easier to navigate in choosing an interior that is ideal for you, let's look at a few interesting styles.

Cabinet design in the classic style

Tip: set your desktop so that there is a blank wall behind your back, which will symbolize support. For greater effect, you can hang a picture on the wall with a mountain landscape or with open meadows and lakes. Do not place your desk close to the door, this reduces the authority of the leader, and the position “back to the door” causes discomfort, and you lose faith on your own.

The classic style is always relevant - this is a great option for a business person. Features of the classic style:

• Wood or wood-like materials are used for decoration;
• Expensive parquet is laid on the floor, patterns "wicker", "Swede" are used. The "additional frieze" looks gorgeous;
• The furniture is selected in strict forms;
• Leather upholstery or expensive plain textiles: jacquard, artificial suede, tapestry;
• There is a chandelier on the ceiling, additional strict lamps in the working area;
• Glass, metal, porcelain decorative ornaments. The high status of the room is added by the originals of the paintings.

Cabinet decoration in art deco style

Tip: Try to reduce the number of corners directed towards the table as much as possible. In Feng Shui, these angles not only worsen well-being, but also reduce labor productivity. Their influence can be neutralized by placing indoor plants in front of them: so geranium and azalea symbolize moving up the career ladder, cyclamen gives confidence, fern disposes to friendly conversation.

Art Deco style involves a lot of creativity. This is an unusual layout with round and concave shapes, you can combine unusual materials in the decoration, add an exquisite ornament.

This style is suitable for the head of an organization related to creative activities:

• Editorial office of newspapers and magazines;
• Museum;
• Creative workshop;
• Advertising companies;
• Art Gallery.

Office design in the English style

Tip: Organize your work area so that there is enough free space between your work desk and the opposite wall. Firstly, it stimulates career growth, and secondly, in this situation, your plans for the future will grow, and the development of the enterprise will go on without any problems.

The design of the office of the head in the English style is distinguished by chic luxury. Deep tones prevail.

Features of the design of the head office in the English style:

• There are expensive gilded wallpapers on the walls: they can be with original patterns or a vertical stripe;
• There is a parquet board on the floor, a luxurious carpet adds coziness;
• There is a library in the office, bookcases are arranged symmetrically;
• The atmosphere of comfort and warmth is perfectly added by the fireplace;
• The walls are decorated with paintings by impressionist artists.

The office is considered not only a working area, but also a place where you can relax or think a little. And it is for this reason that the interior of the office must be decorated with special diligence.

Design of a study, office. Photo

Today there is a whole concept of how a study should look like. The main requirements are as follows:

• The office has to tune in to the workflow. This means that there should be no objects in the room that could distract from work. These details are best left to other offices.

• Functionality. Any work moments need to minimize the time spent on moving or searching for the necessary papers / items. It is necessary to furnish everything so that everything is at hand.

• Coziness and comfort. Naturally, numerous meetings, conferences and even the work process itself are tiresome. And if you have a moment to rest, you should use it. For this, it is advisable to place a comfortable sofa in the office.

• The office is in some way a reflection of its owner. It should have some flavor and personality. Any style or general design is best diluted with home photos or posters of your favorite team of your preferred sport. But you do not need to force absolutely all free shelves or tables with such things, since this is a study.

• The design of the office should reflect the occupation of the owner. For example, the workplace of the head of a large company in the field of economics should personify seriousness and responsibility. Everything is arranged in its place, strict order on the shelves, it is possible to install a safe for storing securities. Whereas for creative individuals (designer, artist, etc.), the so-called "creative mess" is suitable.

• Office size. A lot depends on the parameters of the office, because if the workplace is not large, it is highly undesirable to force it with massive furniture, a dimensional table. In such a room it will be bad and inconvenient to move around, and a person will "suffocate" in such a room.

Working office / study zoning. Photo

As it has already become clear, an office or an office should not be an exclusively working area. The obligatory attributes of such premises are the allocation of space for communication with partners or clients, a place of rest and a work area. If the size of the office allows, you can perform minimal zoning in the room and visually divide it.

Typically, one office can be divided into three areas:

• Work zone. This is the territory of the premises, which should be as discreet, practical and functional as possible. There should be no bright details, trinkets and the like here. Any excess will also be inappropriate. Everything should be strict and simple: a rack with documents, an armchair and a table. Additionally - a table lamp, office supplies, etc.

• Area for receiving guests. A simple and serious place in the office where important business issues are discussed, but there are no straining factors. Potential clients or guests should be assigned a separate seat with armchairs, a small table and a sofa. The whole atmosphere should be conducive to communication.

• Rest zone. A comfortable relaxing corner where everything that the owner likes is set up. For example, a music center for listening to music, a small minigolf, a comfortable sofa to lie down, a TV or, if space allows, a billiard table.

In theory, everything is clear. However, how does the separation process itself take place? How do you do this correctly? After all, many employees are not specialists in the design of a study or office. For minimum comfort, it is not necessary to immediately contact professional designers, since you can do something yourself.

The workplace and other areas can be separated from each other by screens or partitions. Different levels and niches can be used to save space. And by using different shades, you can easily visually disconnect the zones (but remember that the workplace should always be darker and more serious than others).

The color scheme of the study. Photo

For office decoration, it is most acceptable to use soft pastel shades, such as milk, sand, beige, light green, peach, etc. Blue or pink colors are absolutely not suitable. The first one is rather “cold” and the second one is too frivolous. At first it may seem that such a statement is laughable, but scientists and psychologists have long identified the most successful color options to improve the quality of work.

Light tones can be diluted with darker ones, but on condition that they are more noble and deep. For example, brown, burgundy or emerald green are welcome. The ceiling, floor and walls can be highlighted with a light color, but then the furniture should be dark. It is highly undesirable to arrange everything in aggressive and "acidic" tones.

Work office decoration. Photo examples

For serious officials and bosses, it is desirable to use natural, as simple as possible materials. And unusual and creative coatings are most appropriate for the office of a designer, art director, etc.

Walls can be plastered, painted or glued with ordinary wallpaper (preferably plain). Even embossed plaster will do. Parquet or laminate has always been and remains for finishing the floor. And thanks to modern technologies, it is possible to make a stretch (or multi-level) ceiling, which will hide the point lighting of the upper level.

Selection of furniture for the design of the study

The main requirement for the furniture installed in the office is functionality. The desk can hold at the same time folders with documents, office equipment and a computer system unit, some personal items (wallet, watch, etc.) and all kinds of stationery. The most important thing is that everything can be reached at any second.

Mandatory attributes are hinged shelves. Firstly, they free up a lot of space, and secondly, they contain folders with documents, which you can immediately reach. However, it is not advisable to leave securities here. There are only a few requirements for installing niches and shelves:

• high-quality installation (so that nothing collapses);
• they should be located at a distance of 1-1.5 m from the working table. If placed too close, they will interfere with moving around the office, if too far away, you will need to constantly run to them in search of the necessary papers.

Regarding the forms, it can be noted that they should be strict and simple, no frills. Too intricate will become distracting and interfering at work.

Naturally, the possible size of furniture depends directly on the area of ​​the office. The most compact furniture is installed in a small office, it can even be built-in. But when the office is solid, large in size, furniture from massive components will look great. The best materials are glass, natural wood and metal. Sometimes plastic can work as well.

Working office lighting. Photo

The workplace should always be as light as possible. The most successful option is to install lamps with multi-level diffused lighting of the space. Several sconces, spotlights, a table lamp, one floor lamp can easily decorate the office and increase the working potential.

However, this is not a regularity, since there are people who like to work in the semi-darkness. For such cases, you can use special lighting devices and dim floor lamps.

Design styles for study or office. Photo examples

Today, there are many options for the interior design of the workplace, but which one to choose? To avoid any complications or questions during the design, it is best to familiarize yourself in more detail with the different styles.

1. Classic.

The classic style is always practical and suitable for any office, regardless of the occupation of its owner. The most optimal option for a person who is serious about work, but rests especially at home. A rack for documents and books, a wooden table (it is possible with several superstructures) with drawers, a couple of armchairs and a sofa upholstered with thick fabric. Finishing - deep colors, nothing bright.

1. English style.

If you have a preference for luxury, the English style will do. The predominant tones should be rich, deep (burgundy, brown). A wooden lacquered table should be placed against one wall, next to which you can put a chair upholstered with an expensive high-quality fabric on a high back. A lamp in a fabric shade is perfect for illuminating the working area of ​​the table. An obligatory attribute is a leather sofa and a basket for umbrellas.

1. Hi-tech style.

It is a laconic and modern style for business people who have a taste. In the center of the office, you can put a metal table with a glass top, and next to it - an office chair. On the contrary, a metal rack should be located near the wall for storing papers and books. If you have a predominant wall, you can install a huge white sofa or some comfortable modern armchairs. The predominant shades should be white and gray. Metallic colors are also appropriate.

1. Country style.

This option is often used by high-ranking officials who practically live by work. The atmosphere is cozy and like home. The predominant material is natural wood. You can put a carpet on the floor (not carpet), all documents are put away in the closet (you can carved). Opposite the work table is a sofa with cushions.

1. Ethnic style.

Perhaps the most unusual design option for a working office. Unusual patterns on the walls, dark muted tones, original figurines, several paintings. This is ideal for serious creative people like an architect.

Office accessories (photo)

Since this is a workplace, office supplies should be present in abundance, but there should not be too many of them, let alone not visible. What is not large in size is best hidden in the table or put on a shelf. However, one way or another, you cannot get rid of everything, so it makes sense to dilute the design of the workplace with various accessories:

1. Hiding / decorating the translucent part of the office - the window. If the office is commercial and there are other offices nearby, the best option is blinds or curtains in the Roman style. Whereas for a home office, fabric or roller blinds are suitable, which will shade the room and relax during rest.
2. Even the strictest office has room for landscape paintings or portraits. However, there is no need to get carried away, one picture is enough.
3. You can put a family photo on the table in a simple, "non-flashy" frame.
4. For workers in specific areas, you can purchase small decorative items that speak of the owner's activities. For example, it would be ideal for a lawyer to put a statuette - the scales of Themis. For an economist or accountant, kinetic balls (Newton's cradle) are suitable.

As you can see, there are many nuances that affect the comfort of being in the workplace. But if you do everything right, then the design of the study in the office will be a real salvation.

Stylish solutions for the design of the office of the head

Each room has its own unique energy. The furnishings of the bedroom should evoke tranquility, the living room should create an atmosphere of comfort and cordiality, the home kitchen should create well-being and prosperity. In arranging an apartment, everyone is guided by their own desires, however, the design of production zones must meet certain standards: how to arrange a manager's office in accordance with corporate interests and tastefully at the same time?

A modern top manager is a rather difficult task, since he is the business card of the company, and his design should be fashionable, modern and carry information about the activities of the organization.

Strict colors for the design of the head office

In the office of a top manager, meetings are usually held, current problems are resolved, and even, in the absence of a meeting room, responsible negotiations are conducted. The interior design elements of the executive's office should not only be mutually consistent with each other, but also have a positive impression on business partners and clients of the company.

Color is the first thing that catches the eye of the visitor. Of course, the color scheme should and will differ depending on the profile of the organization: the office of the editor-in-chief of a glamorous magazine should definitely be decorated in a different style than the director of the plant.

The interior of the executive's office in light colors, with predominant natural light

However, if we take into account that the manager's office is a kind of think tank that regulates all areas of work, in which promising vectors of development are developed and fundamentally important decisions are made, then the color design of the room should not distract the workers. For such purposes, natural, unobtrusive tones are applicable.

The choice of interior style for the top manager's office will depend on the direction of his activities. The classical trend is firmly established in administrative institutions, it will be appropriate in law offices, in financial structures, in corporations. He emphasizes business stability and experience. Office furniture in this style should be noble, massive, dark tones. The decoration uses natural materials, tapestry, carving.

The original interior design of the head's office

Hi-tech has become the face of an innovative office. Functionality, conciseness and practicality of furniture in this style will give a business and at the same time modern look to the offices of travel agencies and agencies in the service sector.

The director's office can be conditionally divided into several zones: directly into the working room, the meeting room, and the recreation area. Furniture items in all areas should fit into the overall style, creating a comfortable space.

First of all, it is necessary to deal with the situation of the working area. The main subject in it is a functional and representative table made of natural wood, which will be large and comfortable.

The desk must be optimized for both laptop and paper work. In this area, there should be space for roll-out and side bollards for numerous and varied office equipment.

Accordingly, sockets should be correctly placed near the table so that the wires do not get in the way under your feet. A table with a built-in brief will expand the area, creating additional space for meetings and negotiations.

An office chair made of genuine leather or eco-leather is an important accent. In addition to a representative design, it should be comfortable: equipped with a wide seat, adjustable anatomical back, comfortable, also adjustable armrests. Many executives choose chairs with additional functions: built-in massage, swing mechanism, etc.

Light color solutions for the decoration of the office of the head

The presence in the office of the chief should also be pleasant for business partners, colleagues and guests of the organization. Moreover, if the office cannot afford to allocate a separate room for a meeting room. Therefore, the top manager's office must meet the standards of the negotiation process - there must be enough free space, there must be a comfortable table with a certain number of chairs.

Advice! The seating area also traditionally includes armchairs, a sofa and a table for drinks. If the specifics of the work involves holding negotiations outside of working hours, they can be moved to the recreation area.

In addition, the top manager's office may contain shelves with samples of projects, photographs, shelves for awards, souvenirs, gifts from partners, cabinets for documents or clothes.

Large windows in the interior design of the executive office provide natural light

Correctly equipped lighting is the key to good performance. The work area must be well lit. The desktop should be close to a source of natural light - a window. General lighting should cover the entire room and be uniform: the number of ceiling lights is calculated according to the size of the room.

Using a directional direct light helps you focus on work, but quickly leads to eye fatigue. Therefore, it must be alternated with diffused lighting, which is provided by lamps with conical or spherical shades. The choice of the light source is done according to the color temperature of the lamp. The cool color helps focus and invigorates. Such lighting is provided by fluorescent and halogen lamps.

Plants, paintings and bright stationery will be a great addition to the manager's interior.

In the office of the head, there may be a place for decorative elements. It is these features of the design of the manager's office that determine the individuality of the office. If a woman leader can find a place for a picture of her favorite artist, then a man can have a trophy from a hunt or fishing in the form of a scarecrow or photographs from his last trip. Some decorate their offices with sculptures - for example, from Kasli cast, expensive drinking sets, souvenirs brought from other countries.

As for windows, laconic and functional blinds or roller blinds are usually used for their decoration.

Luxurious interior of the executive office

At the same time, the design of the manager's office necessarily reflects the interests of its owner. A person striving for a rich environment will bring this trait to his office, in which he spends most of the day. A more restrained top manager will choose an unobtrusive color scheme, more modern furniture, an idea that tends to Scandinavian minimalism. Having looked at the photo of the design options for the offices, you will definitely be able to choose the style you like.

Interior decoration of the office of the head in a classic style

Address: St. Petersburg
Area: 30 m²
Implementation period: 2 months
Client: deputy director of a large industrial plant, a young girl

The office design project was commissioned for a young girl, deputy director of a large industrial enterprise. Initially, the premises consisted of two small offices - for the director and the secretary. However, it was decided to combine both parts into one spacious office, allocating a separate workplace for the secretary. To illuminate the small office of the secretary, windows were provided in the wall separating the main and additional rooms.

The peculiarity of the project was that the office area was initially small, only 30 sq. The office was located directly in one of the buildings on the territory of the industrial zone and was a rather gloomy room. The task was to transform the original object into a presentable and cozy office.

Features of the organization of an office on the attic floor

The attic room has a number of features in comparison with the standard one. As a rule, a large number of communications are concentrated here. In our case, there was a slight slope along the roof and a structure of beams on the ceiling (caissons). In addition to everything, a communication pipe was located along the window, which was not possible to remove or hide from prying eyes. To beat her without losing the airiness of space was not an easy task. On the visualization of the project, you can see that the difficulties that seemed at first in the project later became its highlight.

A white-painted pipe - what is not a highlight of the new interior?

The ceiling bevels were also painted white, thus visually expanding the entire space. The beams on the ceiling were played with polyurethane cornices and painted white, which made the room light and airy.

Not a hint of gray concrete walls left

Let there be light! The task of creating the background for the future office has been completed.

The "right" office for a female leader

An office is a place where a person spends a considerable part of his life. A comfortable environment is conducive to a positive working attitude, which means making the right decisions.

On the other hand, the office of the deputy director of a large plant is intended for serious business negotiations with customers and is also, to a certain extent, the face of the enterprise. The office should also be distinguished by a modern and interesting design, which implies the success and prosperity of the enterprise in the eyes of potential partners.

Taking into account all the listed requirements and wishes of the future owner of the office, a balance was reached between the presentable severity of the office and the girl's inner attitude.

The main task of creating a bright, spacious room has been completed. The starting point was a light laminate (Quick Step) “bleached oak”. Modern white furniture was matched to it. Light chairs of laconic design perfectly fit into the new interior. Two small comfortable sofas make for an informal conversation.

Refined rigor and lightness of a modern office

The furniture was made to order, since the quality of the finished samples did not suit the customer. Upholstered furniture was chosen and ordered on the website of the DEFO company. When choosing doors, we were guided by the color of the furniture. We stopped at the usual - glossy white Fineza Puerta.

Let there be light! Color, light and play of contrasts

The central caissons on the ceiling have become the main light sources - custom-cut plexiglass with interleaved LEDs. Built-in spotlights, the most common ones, are mounted on the sides. The windows located on the inner wall of the office to the right of the work table let in enough light to the secretary's work area.

Walls for painting Tikkurila (base "Euro 7") are in perfect harmony with the life-affirming orange color, which is painted on the wall directly behind the manager's workplace. Textiles in the form of bright turquoise curtains and exquisite pop art style emphasize the individuality of the hostess. The TV area and contemporary painting add the necessary accents and coziness.

When creating a design project, we took into account all the wishes of the Customer, not forgetting about the purpose of the office and the structural architectural features of the premises. The result is a spacious, light office with comfortable working conditions. At the same time, the office emphasizes the individuality of its owner and is made in a modern style.

When developing the idea of ​​office decoration, it is important to pay special attention to the design of the manager's office. A well-thought-out interior will skillfully emphasize the status, create comfortable working conditions for the boss, demonstrate openness, innovation, creativity or other features that are important for a specific field of activity.

Execution options

Can be done in any style. The choice depends on the wishes of the owner, the stylistic solution of the entire office, the specifics of the industry. The classics are appropriate for conservative companies, as well as for companies that need to demonstrate stability and reliability. Typically, the classic style is chosen by legal and financial organizations, educational institutions. Hi-tech and minimalism are preferred by high-tech and innovative companies: software developers, phone and computer manufacturers, IT enterprises. For creative editors of magazines, architectural bureaus, event agencies, modern, loft and other styles will be appropriate.

Design features

A standard manager's office should have 4 zones: a work, a meeting room, for meetings and for relaxation. If the room is small, then it is permissible to combine them.

Color selection

Traditionally, gray, brown and beige colors are used. They are appropriate in any style, do not interfere with concentrating on tasks. However, other shades can be used:

• blue, bright green or yellow in the recreation area will help you relax;
• black, green, dark blue or terracotta are appropriate in the main part of the room;
• white, orange are acceptable in the meeting area with subordinates.

The harmonious combination of basic shades and corporate colors will demonstrate to visitors the solid thinking of management and contribute to the development of team spirit.

Furniture selection

When buying furniture to equip an office, you need to take into account the chosen design style and the purpose of the area being equipped.

A desk and a comfortable chair should be installed in the main part of the room. For a classic style, solid wood and leather furniture is needed. For hi-tech and minimalism, a table with a glossy glass top, plastic or polished wood, an ergonomic chair with adjustable height, tilt, armrests, headrest, etc. are suitable. In modern style, smooth lines and elements that do not bring practical benefits are appropriate. Cabinets can occupy the entire wall, be light or massive, open or closed. Most often, the bottom of the storage systems is made closed. The safe is mounted in a wall, disguised as a cabinet or built into a closet.

In the meeting area, two pieces of furniture are required: a table and chairs. The table can be rectangular or oval, adjustable in height, stand alone or attached to the writing desk. Chairs or armchairs should be moderately comfortable, the presence of head restraints and a large number of adjustments is not necessary. For effective meetings, there should also be communications for charging laptops, tablets or other devices, a large monitor to show the data to everyone present.

The negotiation area is often combined with others: communication with a large number of partners is carried out at the conference table, and one-on-one negotiations or in the amount of 2-3 people are transferred to the part of the office intended for relaxation. A sofa, deep armchairs, a coffee table are appropriate here.

The recreation area can be equipped with a bar, a table with drinks, a bookcase. Some executives place sports awards or hunting trophies, foosball or ice hockey tables here. The color and appearance of furniture depends entirely on the overall style of the interior.

Lighting selection

The light from the windows is not enough for comfortable work, therefore, even at the planning stage of the design of the study, they think over the locations of the lighting fixtures. You can create the right lighting using free-standing lamps (table, chandeliers, sconces, floor lamps), built-in ceiling lamps, soft lighting of furniture in the recreation area.

Decor

If the classics and modernity welcome vases, paintings, figurines and other decorations, then hi-tech and minimalism are against unnecessary elements in the interior (the maximum that can be seen in such offices is posters on the walls). But in any of these styles, the presence of green plants is permissible, with the help of which it is easy to distinguish between different zones in the office. You can also divide the room with furniture, partitions, carpet, installation of an aquarium and other elements.
