This streamlined workspace with its vintage style belongs to Joshua Topolsky, co-founder and editor of tech news site The Verge. Topolsky’s organised his space for a very pleasing, balanced visual composition and focused productivity.
Today’s featured workspace comes from graphic designer and illustrator Erin Jang and clearly demonstrates how a simple use of colour can make a huge impact on a bland grey wall, desk, or practically anywhere.
We previously learned that the key to effective home design is a nice arrangement of collections and images that are important to you. Today’s featured workspace is a great example, offering travel maps on the walls and a collections of souvenirs.
Typical basements are cramped, dark dungeons you wouldn’t want to work in, but today’s featured workspace shows going underground doesn’t have to mean going downhill. This basement workspace is bright, well-organised, and roomier than most above-ground home offices.
We love featuring workspaces that overcome the troubles of small, awkward spaces, and that’s just what Martha Stewart Living home editor Anthony Santelli did for stylist Scott Horne. He had been working in a small space adjacent to the kitchen that was more of a paper graveyard than an office. The upgrade didn’t cost much and made use of a few simple accent colours and objects to bring new life to the space.
The highlight of today’s featured workspace is the space itself: A small yet bright extension on a house with lots of frosted glass windows. Flickr user yingyang makes good use of the space with a very long curvy desk.
Freelance design outsource 99designs started in Australia, but these days 32 staff work from its main San Francisco base. Its newly-opened premises have the classic SF warehouse feel: exposed beams and open desks.
What kind of stuff does the creator of productivity uber-system Getting Things Done keep handy in his home office? A few unique things, a few GTD-nerd things, and, reassuringly, some of the same stuff you have around. Including a clunky printer and a goofy coffee mug.
Today’s featured workspace is bold in red and black furniture, and doesn’t hold back in its epic space film memorabilia and other collectibles.
It’s not often that you can use the word “badass” to describe a workspace, but there’s hardly a more appropriate word for this computer desk that stores the computer in a hand-crafted side table and attaches the peripherals to a leather recliner. Imgur user elroc put this incredible chair-desk combo together for a better gaming experience, but you could easily get used to working in such a nice setup, too.
