How About Some Respect
for Your Home Office?
It’s the second most used area in the house – right after the kitchen – but is
oddly reminiscent of your college dorm room. It’s a hub of household activity –
home management tasks, kids’ school stuff, take-home work from your day job –
all stored and filed in those ugly cardboard boxes. It’s wired – high speed
Internet, a snappy new computer, a color printer – along with a nest of wiring
all in a mess at your feet. The rest of your house looks great but your home
office looks, well, neglected. Isn’t it time to do something about it?
Home offices are no longer an after thought, not with an estimated
50 million of them in the United States today. So why do they present such
problems? For many reasons actually – furnishing home offices up until just
recently has been a low priority for many consumers. Plus their choices are
limited to either pricey designer brands that are beyond most homeowners’
budgets or pieces and parts from a variety of office supply or “big box” stores,
or from catalogues. However, none of these options handle technology needs very
well, plus they’re not customized to consumers’ specific needs and space.
Another reason is that the designers who did such a great job with commercial
offices never tackled home offices, until now that is, according to
Diane Turnwall, V.P. Business Development, ORG Home
Organization. “Trying to jerry-rig furniture and storage
products, that come from a variety of sources, to fit your home office just
doesn’t work,” says Turnwall. “The room dimensions are different as are the
scale and often the function of the items you’re trying to fit in.”
But ORG Home Organization has a solution
Turnwall says – office furniture plus storage and organizational products
developed by professionals who spent decades designing commercial offices and
furniture. ORG knows something about this having hired
(more)
many product designers and managers who spent decades at Steelcase, the world’s
largest office furniture manufacturer.
Knowing it wasn’t just a matter of making slight adjustments to
existing office furniture options and storage units, ORG designers spent months
researching home offices – whether they were spacious or tiny; a separate room
or a corner of the kitchen. They studied how individuals used their office space
and what problems they encountered.
According to Peachtree Consulting Group, a firm
that specializes in researching
the storage and organization industry, the vast majority of home offices come
equipped with a computer, which means they also have the birds’ nest of wiring
to contend with as well – a vexing and universal problem the ORG designers
encountered in their research. ORG also looked at whether the office was shared
by several family members or used primarily by just one individual. Sharing
office space means accommodating different work styles and storage needs as well
as configuration and display preferences.
Using this information along with what they already knew about
well-designed, functional and beautiful office furniture plus storage and
organization items, ORG has designed an array of products that offer solutions
to everything a homeowner would
need in a home office.
The key in making these solutions fit into a
specific consumer’s home office is Above & Beyond Custom Designs who will
provide a complimentary design consultation. As part of that initial
consultation, Above & Beyond Custom Designs assesses the homeowner’s needs by
first looking at how the space is used and any organization challenges that may
exist. Then, by asking key questions – such as how many will be using the space
and if the space will also be used for other functions such as a craft room,
game room, or bedroom Above & Beyond Custom Designs will gain insights to help
design a solution that best addresses the homeowner’s needs.
During that same visit, Above & Beyond Custom
Designs will also provide a custom design of the space along with a 3-D
rendering of how the space will look with the desk, storage units and other ORG
solutions installed. The result is a completely customized solution that
