apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I'm thinking of possibly doing something inspired by the image at the top from WhereWeDoWhatWeDo by using leftover Inhabit wall tiles from my January Jumpstart or optimizing vertical space by adding some tall bookcases directly behind the desk and creating a similar see-thru desktop (with a cleaner desk and without the can of Heineken ontop).

If we only had a little more space, we could create an organized and sparse desktop area like Accolady's setup. There's something calming and serene about an uncluttered desktop, whether it's on your actual desk or on your computer screen.

But really, the first place I'll need to start off is planning a better cord and cable organization system like the under the desk solution shown above or creatively through a bit of DIY work.

It's funny...in many ways organizing a smaller space is much more difficult and involved than a larger space; the spatial limitations considered against the multiple utility factors and hardware components of a home office strongly shape what designs can or cannot work. And that's all before factoring in whether it even looks good to a discriminating eye. We'll report back as we make progress in the coming weeks (or months).....
