So how to turn a garage into a work-space, laundry and playroom? A lot of planning, a neutral colour pallet and well defined areas which are clearly marked and user friendly.
I strongly believe that if you work in a beautiful space, then beautiful ideas can be born. For me a space has to be un-cluttered and preferably neutral, then my creativity flows. Trying to accommodate this, along with making a space user friendly and fun for my toddler, was a little challenging. Throw in a laundry space and a chill out area and the bar was well and truly set.
I feel the unobtrusive walls and fresh colour pallet helps me work and does not distract me. Overall, the space can accommodate stray Peppa Pig jigsaw pieces and some dolls clothes without too much hassle. The 50’’ TV still gets the attention it craves with-out being the feature of the room and I still get my zen.
As I quoted at the begining of this blog:
“The best rooms have something to say about the people who live in them.” – David Hicks
This room certainly showcases the occupants of the home. From a little busy toddler, who’s world is all about messy play. To a creative designer who works from home and needs her zen. The room accommodates us all and reflects our personalities as a room should do.
This was a fun and challenging undertaking. If you want to read how I got to this final stage, jump on in to my previous blogs:
