The make-over of my brother's office

Some of you do know yet that I run our company Lefèvre Interiors together with my youngest brother Stefaan.

My brother and me.

A few months ago, my brother needed to move his office to another area in our company buildings. But the only place available, was an old storage room!

So my brother asked me to make a proposal to renovate this place into his new office! A challenge of course!

So I started making a few designs and after my brother's approval, we could finally start the production of the cabinetry in our workplaces.

We decided to leave the place open to the peak of the roof so that the construction beam was integrated in the interior concept.

The picture of sight 1 (above) shows the inside of the cabinet, where a lot of files can be hidden.

The wood we used for the cabinetry is european oak. And for the desk, we have chosen for a table in an exotic type of wood. And as hardware we used these furniture knobs.

I love to use some modern lighting in an office room.

On this side of the room we created the entrance door.

To me an office needs to be very cosy because most people ( certainly my brother) spend a lot of time in this room. So to add warmth , I have chosen for a shade of orange for the lime paint on the walls and even for the blinds.

Our painter mixed the paint as long as he needed to become the same colour as the Belgian linen, chosen for the blinds.

On every wall there are seen spotlights.

On this window you can notice wooden blinds. They provide a functional and a decorative feature to add warmth and variation. They filter the light in a subtle way.
