Desktop solutions

Just as we are looking to remove the desks, to replace the working space to a hang out – room instead – I began to look for various desk solutions. I’m not even interested in keeping the workplace since we don’t use it, as it was intended. We carry our laptops around the house, so nowadays there’s not always a need for a specific place for work – not even to store things. Not when you have a hard drive!

But I like the idea of desktop solutions, so this is a post in that theme today, after all. Once I had put together all images, I realised that all desks are straight without any frills or decorations. Well, it is what it is – my preferences!

Styling

Styling is a great way to put together items without having to think of functionality. I at least would like to see rooms or decor which appear to work in reality. Such as, not having a lamp that hangs too low, so you bump your head every time you are getting up from your sofa. Styling is totally different – you still have all usual rules with composition, depth, lines, etc. But functions have no meaning & your imagination is the limit, in that sense. It does not have to work in reality. It’s more about inspiration.

Hairstyle

Hairstyles – tend to look different on different people. Short, super-short, long or longer – light, dark, black, or blonde, blue or green. I like people’s creativity & appreciates the inspiration it provides. Especially at parties when people have put some work in to fix their hair. By all means, in everyday life, too – it’s nice to see it all together with the style of clothes. It enhances the personality a lot, of course.

As you know by now, I wouldn’t choose to go too much outside my own comfort zone. So therefore there’s not much overly exciting styles in these images – merely things that I like for the aesthetics sake & many times for the sake of simplicity.

Sober maturity

It might be wrong to call these images for “mature” but by that I mean a more adult style, more conventional. It is perhaps not quite the right expression – traditional, understandable, predictable, classical, timeless & so on. A bit of a hotel feeling, perhaps a little impersonal because it’s not decorated, in the sense that it doesn’t overflows with things. Few well chosen items such as art, antiques that breathes style, heavy draped curtains & so on.

It’s usually liberating environments with everything in its place. Often organised, very tidy & neat. It can of course be colourful, slightly playful but in a sober manner. Still, in lots of different styles – classical, city, rural, modern, as well as various expressions & materials of course.

In the good old days

It is nice to visit old relatives who have retained their old furniture. It feels like you are stepping into another time, another world. There are frames with photographs arranged everywhere. Glass bottles & glass vases in amounts plus a lot of old books & heavy draped curtains. Not to mention sofas or armchairs. It’s absolutely adorable. Quite simply because you don’t throw things purely because they have aged, as they are still fully functional. Something that we ought to embrace more.

Here are some images that I have put together, that reminds of old times, if I may put it that simple. Furniture, gadgets, textiles & old pillows with prints, picture frames & so on. I am especially fond of the last shot where contemporary furnishings have been blended together with the old desktop – new & old come together nicely together into a whole. Really nice!
