IT’S ALL FUN AND GAMES
If your family always seems to be darting about in different
directions, perhaps a game room might entice them to spend a bit
more time at the old homestead.
A ping-pong table is a great way to get some exercise on rainy days
and evenings, and a Wii will also get your family off the couch for a
workout. If you’ve always thought you didn’t have the space for a pool
table, it may be easier to fit than you think. Tables come in 7, 8, 8.5
and 9-ft. options.
Above all, your game room should reflect who you are. It can be fun
and funky or classy and elegant. It’s all up to you!
HOME SWEET OFFICE
Are you one of those lucky individuals able to work from home?
The world just seems like a nicer place when you’re dressed in your
pajamas, doesn’t it? But work is still work. You need a place that’s
organized, designed well, and in which you feel comfortable. Chances
are, you may also need a degree of privacy to do your best work.
One of the most overlooked factors in productivity is lighting.
Many studies demonstrate that natural lighting is best whenever
possible, and results in more productivity among workers and a more
positive attitude toward the work itself. Lighting can have a profound
effect on your mood and can even influence your hormones.
If placing your home office in an area with windows is not
possible, try the soft lighting of a lamp instead and try to avoid harsh
fluorescents. Adding a silk plant or two, along with a picture of the
outdoors, will help to transform a windowless area into a more
inviting space. Warm colors such as reds, yellows and orange will also
help warm up an otherwise dark office area such as a basement.
Next, you’ll want to design your workspace with cabinetry where
office supplies and files can be tucked neatly out of sight. Shelving that
is custom-designed for the way you work can transform even a tiny
space into an efficient work area. Having cabinets and shelves that are
suited to your exact purpose will eliminate a great deal of frustration
and overwhelming feelings of disorganization. A designer and expert
carpenter can help you get the most from your workspace.
Just because you don’t have an entire room in your house to
dedicate to your home office doesn’t mean that you can’t have a
