Another beautiful bespoke home office in Kent.
This summer we built and installed another beautiful home office in the rural area surrounding Ashford in Kent.
Solid light oak custom-built desktop
Our client’s home office is situated in a former out-building of a rural farmhouse near the village of Bethersden. Our brief was to design and produce a comfortable working space for our client, incorporating custom-made, dedicated file hanger storage within the drawer stack and open file storage on the wall above the desk. For the cabinetry, we used a combination of light oak veneered panels and spray finishing in a custom colour to harmonise with the oak and the existing wall colour. We flush-fitted an LED downlighting strip into the underside of the wall cabinet to provide additional light onto the desktop, controlled by a clever dimmer switch integrated into the cabinet itself and completely invisible.
Custom-colour sprayed cabinetry and light oak, bespoke home office desk.
Our client wanted one of the under-desk cabinets to be mobile, so it could be pulled out into the room when extra desk space was needed. The resulting wheeled trolley (to the left-hand side) houses the printer and provides additional storage within the cubbies. Cable management is neatly handled with a brushed, black aluminium edge strip located at the back of the desktop, and feeding into a specialised black metal cable channel running below the desk.
The solid oak desktop of this handmade home office appears to float over the cabinetry.
“Richard built and installed a desk, shelving and storage for my home office and a workbench with tool storage as well. Really high-quality work and a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended.”
