Isummerhouse turned our INTO MY
OFFICE STUDIO
Having outgrown the kitchen table, Caroline Borgman decided to create a dedicated space to work from home, full of clever storage, a DIY workstation and pretty handmade décor
About me
I’m Caroline Borgman, an interior designer, @carolineborgmaninteriors. I live with my husband, Anthony, and two children, Amelie and Felix. Our house is a stone-built cottage in West Oxfordshire, which we bought in 2007.
My room...
MY PROBLEM ROOM The outbuilding was already here when we moved in. It was used as a summerhouse by the previous owners, and we had it as a storage space for a while. When I launched my interior design business, I needed a well-organised studio to work from, so it made sense to transform the summerhouse. HOW I MADE IT WORK We cleared the space out, painted the walls and sanded the floors. We put in a good storage system with floor-to-ceiling shelves and created a multipurpose work area. MY FAVOURITE PART I love how flexible the space is – I can go from meeting clients to getting stuck into my design work. I especially love the floor-to-ceiling shelving and my spacious workstation where I can do my sewing, paint furniture or get through paperwork. 90 yourhomestyle.uk
