If you ask ten people which room in their house was most important to them, you would probably get a few different answers. The answers depends on their lifestyle and where they like to spend most time. I don’t spend much time in the kitchen, so a fancy kitchen full of gadgets would be a little wasted on me.
I recently created a small office space in the corner of our living room, but I still long for my own office with it’s very own door! It would be wonderful to be able to spread out a bit more and for my office to have it’s own decor, rather than just fitting in with our living space.
TSB asked me to indulge myself for a while and share my ideas for my dream space and I love an excuse to do a spot of window shopping! I think a white base is great for an office, as you can change the accessories, bits and pieces to give you a totally different room, without getting the paint brushes out. Which in my book is a serious winner, I HATE painting.

Having enough space to pop a couch in the office would be ideal for me. Somewhere to sit and get away from my computer screen; while enjoying my new favourite drink, a chia latte.
I adore bright sweet coloured accessories, here are some bit and pieces that I would love in my dream office space.
Jars, Chalkboard, Cushion, Lightshade, Cloud Light, Lamp, Print, Rug
Apart from the bonus of being surrounded by such pretty things, I also think having a separate room for an office would really improve my work life balance. I would want to finish work to go and be with my family. Whereas now, it is all too easy to try to do both, sound familiar?!
My dream office may be a fair while off for me yet, as we are moving to rented accommodation in France in 2017. We will be in France for five years, allowing us to save a deposit for a house, then on our return we will be searching for a new house. Using a tool such as the TSB mortgage calculator would help us to work out what we would be able to afford and critically whether we have enough money for my office!
Do you work from home? Do you have a home office, a desk or do you hot desk around the house?
