Hi again. I see where Dytecture is going with this. It's hard to say, really, because the only existing colour you mentioned was white. Once you put something coloured or dark in the space, your eye will zoom past the white and look at the colour or the visual weight of the piece. When I was recommending something white or colourless (glass and metal), I had in mind that you probably don't want to make the desk your only feature. I would recommend having your desk as a functional piece that blends with the decor, but I would definitely add punches of colour elsewhere. Large colourful artworks on the walls, a couple of bold colour-blocked cushions on the sofa (see Dytecture's first picture above), a grouping of three very tall boldly coloured vases (different heights), and so on. These will give you the pizzazz you're looking for. In an otherwise white apartment, a dark or coloured desk is still not going to give you much style or impact.

Music during work? What kind?

Well fellow Houzzers I hate to admit it but I've been firmly planted on Houzz for a large part of the day under the watchful eye of Foxtel tunes "Blues & roots". Most of it was okay including some Bob Dylan and Van Morrison as stand outs. My 25 year old son is home and said "How are your going with your project?" I said okay/good/great etc...(secret women's business) but my neck is getting sore. Then he said "you should listen to some music on your headphones" and he suggested tycho. Well after getting in the zone for the last hour...with this techno trance'ish background music (okay'ish music I guess, no singing just some dj spinning airy electronic sounds and stuff)... An hour or so has gone by thanks to the never ending ability of Youtube to load the next album etc while I have been mindfully saving and reading lots of Houzz including raiding photos from Luke Buckle's idea books. (Thanks Luke!) The outside world has been buzzing along without distracting me, I am lost in the world of Houzz & might be here for days unless I am rescued by someone offering food and water. Now to get to the bottom of this rant, tycho & similar types of music is apparently what young people listen to when they are on their computers working on something important that we parents will never understand. (My son is working on an app apparently) As they have headphones on we have to physically interrupt them for the likes of dinner, bin emptying, cleaning etc and this is why there is a generation gap caused by people like me not getting with the times. All I want to do is go to a spa for neck therapy!

Hi yoyo188, that's a very detailed plan! Looks fine with me, except I have a concern regarding the dining area. (The following done with Houzz Sketch function!) Just wondering if some of the guests at the dining table might potentially be facing the shoe rack? Not sure which you prefer, but I'd either reposition the shoe rack or the dining table: Regarding the proximity of the dining table to the kitchen, I like referencing the following Houzz Tours: [https://www.houzz.com.sg/magazine/houzz-tour-infusing-the-popular-scandi-theme-with-local-flavour-stsetivw-vs~84802854[(https://www.houzz.com.sg/magazine/houzz-tour-infusing-the-popular-scandi-theme-with-local-flavour-stsetivw-vs~84802854) [https://www.houzz.com.sg/magazine/houzz-tour-this-flats-defining-style-is-streamlined-and-cosy-stsetivw-vs~86080574[(https://www.houzz.com.sg/magazine/houzz-tour-this-flats-defining-style-is-streamlined-and-cosy-stsetivw-vs~86080574) [https://www.houzz.com.sg/magazine/houzz-tour-finally-a-scan-dustrial-home-that-is-different-stsetivw-vs~85725844[(https://www.houzz.com.sg/magazine/houzz-tour-finally-a-scan-dustrial-home-that-is-different-stsetivw-vs~85725844) But that's just my opinion, let me know what you think?
