Hasta La Ideas

This week’s Workspace of the Week is Ujitso’s stylized home office:

Whether aware of it or not, Ujitso’s home office is a wonderful, minimalist homage to either Piet Mondrian and/or Roger Black. The simple color palette reduces visual distractions and also creates a calm environment for doing work. The shelves are a nice way to take advantage of vertical space for storage. And, the cable control with the black strip hiding them down the wall (look toward the middle of the desk) is amazing. Thank you, Ujitso, for sharing your workspace with us.

This week’s Workspace of the Week is Little Luck Tree’s living room transformed into a joint home office:

Her workspace:

His workspace:

Additional storage and music:

And, the seating area is set up directly across from her monitor, so the monitor can also serve as a television screen when watching movies:

There isn’t much I can say that the images don’t convey themselves. My only other comment would be that I really like to see useful spaces where people understand their needs and design their homes to meet those needs. This is a truly wonderful, vibrant space. Thank you, Little Luck Tree for your submission. More details about the room can be found on her site at http://littlelucktree.blogspot.com/2013/09/his-hers-office-space.html.

This week’s Workspace of the Week is My_OCD’s standing desk:

There are so many things I love about this office setup that I am downright giddy. I’ll start with the Macbook Pro mounted to be standing height, which is genius. Workers in this space are on their feet when they’re working. I’m assuming they use the computer to mark orders as received, filled, and shipped, so it makes sense for the computer to be located next to where they are working but in a way that is suitable for their workflow. Secondly, the mount brings the computer up off the table that is used for wrapping, so it won’t easily get damaged or lost in packing materials. A really terrific idea. Third, and what made my heart swoon, are the shelves and shelves of well labeled and stored supplies in the back right section of the office photograph. There is a place for everything, and everything is in its place. When an order comes in, the people who work here know exactly where to find the items to fill the order.

Thank you, My_OCD, you and Spencer Aircraft are doing things beautifully. We truly appreciate you sharing your images with us.

This week’s Workspace of the Week is PennPal’s repurposed home office:

I have a number of praises for PennPal’s workspace, but before I delve into them I wanted to make sure everyone saw the wonderful description that accompanied the photograph in our Flickr pool:

This is where an ESL lecturer gets stuff done at home, away from the hectic classroom and the distractions of a shared office at the Uni.

I was inspired by photos of Dieter Rams home workspace and needed extra surface area for occasional co-working with my better-half. The Melltorp table is Ikea’s best lesser-known desk option. Add a flipped-over Pluggis for a monitor stand and a few candlesticks for the speakers.

I also have a phobia for visible wires.

(I’m not certain, but I think this is the inspiration PennPal used for the home office.)

I love how white is the base color, which helps a great deal with keeping distractions to a minimum. A single color of any kind could have the same effect. I also love the cable control in this office — so many items are wireless, and those with wires have them culled with hooks on the back lip of the table. The speaker stands are ingenious. There are so many things to be inspired by in this office; thank you, PennPal, for sharing your space with us.

This week’s Workspace of the Week is NomadJim’s office with a mountain view:

In theory, when you telecommute for work you can do so from anywhere. I imagine working from my bed or even on my living room couch. NomadJim imagines places much more glamorous and telecommutes from workspaces with amazing and inspiring views in warm climates. This terrace that he has commandeered as his workspace is in San Jeronimo, Antioquia, Colombia.

This isn’t the first time we’ve featured NomadJim on Unclutterer. In 2010, we showcased his outdoor tropical retreat office. Then, in 2012, we highlighted his actual corporate office space. His corporate space was terrific, but this view and climate are even more desirable. Such a perfect place to set up a laptop and get some work done.

Thank you, NomadJim, for sharing your inspiring location with us.
