2: CORNER OFFICE
The sleek look of this study
area swings industrial, but
it's still a user-friendly spot
with (look closely) lots of
storage: large catchall
drawers, stainless- steel
shelves holding a
galvanized bin and glass
jars for office supplies, and
magazine racks. A thin
metal strip screwed to the
wall displays photos. A few
well-placed bits of red
wake up the space.
3; PRIVATE GALLERY
Kids are more likely to
enjoy a room they can
personalize. Surround
their desks with ways to
display their artwork,
papers, or photos. Cover
part (or all) of the wall
with painted cork tiles,
right
, or hang large clamps
on S-hooks
, below,
which
keep papers and pictures
neatly in place.
