    A study table doesn’t have to come with a wall ful A study table doesn’t have to come with a wall full of cabinetry. Sometimes four legs, a good chair and a little breathing room are all you need to get down to business.

These are a few of our favourite loose study set-ups. Which one is yours?

    A balcony that takes the phrase “bring the outdoor A balcony that takes the phrase “bring the outdoors in” and decides to reverse it. 🌿

This little urban corner was designed to feel more like a garden room than a balcony.

- A full vertical plant wall turns a blank end wall into a living backdrop
- A floor and a ceiling that look like warm wood bring in plenty of warmth
- Cane furniture keeps the seating light, relaxed and wonderfully balcony-friendly
- The string lights add a cosy glow once the sun goes down
- And with all that greenery around, the city view suddenly feels a little less… city.

Basically, a tiny holiday destination — without the airport queue.

Swipe 👈🏻 for a closer look.

- A generous live edge dining table keeps the setting warm and grounded
- Floral upholstered chairs bring pattern without making the space feel busy
- A long upholstered bench adds a more relaxed note — and a few extra seats never hurt
- The cluster of glass-and-brass pendants is the real showstopper, adding a lovely bit of sparkle overhead
- And the carved wall art brings in just the right amount of old-world Indian character

From the living room, it reads as part of the larger space. Up close, it has plenty of its own personality.

From raw shell to a foyer with a little more drama.

- The bare shell became a layered foyer with a strong sense of arrival
- A warm mustard colour wainscoting brings energy into the space
- Traditional detailing — from the carved timber door to the patterned floor border — adds a distinctly Indian character
- And the kitchen entrance is now part of the composition, rather than simply another doorway

This kitchen got a full rethink — in both form and function.

- We changed the ‘L’ shaped counter to a parallel counter on the opposite wall giving much more usable space. 
- The dark cabinetry made the space feel heavier than it needed to, so we introduced lighter finishes to bounce around the natural light
- A terrazzo-style counter brings texture without overwhelming the room
- The backsplash keeps things understated, while the subtle 3D pattern adds interest

Same footprint. A very different experience.

From a makeshift study corner to a room made for her. ✨

* The desk now has a proper built-in home, with storage above and a pegboard for the things she actually needs
* The wardrobe gets a complete makeover, with a playful botanical finish on the shutters
* Warm wood keeps the room feeling cosy, while the soft neutrals stop it from becoming too sweet
* A comfortable upholstered chair makes the study nook feel like part of the room, rather than an afterthought
* And a few framed music posters bring in the personality

Same room. Very different brief.
