The
Design
Brief
With this issue celebrating all things hybrid, we asked our resident interior designexpert, Steve Hird from Edward Thomas Interiors for his advice on the best spaces forhybrid set-ups, how to style these for multi-functional tasks and why home ‘hotdesking’ is an upcoming trend…
"… Options to consider are foldaway desks, ladder desks or making the most of any alcoves or nooks with a floating desk."
Steve Hird
What room(s) are best to accommodate hybrid working?
If you’re living in a house, then our preference is to use either a guest bedroom or separate dining room. Somewhere that’s used occasionally and where you can close a door for privacy. If you’re in a more open plan environment, like an apartment, then try to ‘zone’ a corner or alcove (read on for how to do this!).
Of course, some of the most creative solutions are to use transitional, hidden or overlooked spaces. Think landings, hallways, eaves, even under the stairs! This is a great way to reclaim space in the home that’s either ‘dead’ or just used for storage.
