A home office built for the way modern work actually feels — part focused productivity, part considered retreat. This Boothstown commission combines a full-width fitted desk and overhead storage system in deep teal and warm oak with a floor-to-ceiling velvet bench and oak slat relaxation wall that transforms one corner of the room entirely. Enter with a clear mind. Crash out when the day demands it. A home office designed to be lived in, not just worked in.
The working wall of this bespoke home office spans the full width of the room — a continuous built-in desk in Havwoods terrazzo resin running from wall to wall, with open shelving and LED-lit overhead teal cabinets above and integrated teal drawer units below. Every dimension is resolved to the exact geometry of the space, and every material choice made with both the eye and the hand in mind.
The deep petrol teal joinery is the signature of this commission — a colour chosen not for its fashionability but for its weight. It anchors the room, frames the warm oak and provides the kind of visual authority that makes you want to sit down and get to work. Against the herringbone parquet floor and warm oak panelling, the palette is one of the most complete in the Hafferty portfolio.
On the opposite wall to the desk, a completely different atmosphere is created — a full-width built-in bench seat upholstered in burnt orange velvet, set beneath a floor-to-ceiling textured vertical oak slat panel that is LED lit from within. The warm amber glow of the backlit slat wall transforms this corner of the home office from a working environment into something closer to a private retreat.
This is the detail that makes this commission genuinely different from a standard fitted study. The bench is not an afterthought — it is a considered destination, a place to decompress between calls, to read without a screen, or simply to sit and think. Below it, bespoke oak-fronted drawers provide concealed shoe storage, turning the relaxation zone into a functioning part of the home's everyday organisation.
The material specification in this commission rewards close inspection at every level. The Havwoods terrazzo resin worktop — its warm, flecked surface visible across both the desk run and the shelving unit — is a premium surface choice that introduces depth and pattern at the most frequently touched surface in the room. Paired with the vertical brass inlay strips on the teal cabinet doors, the specification is one of considered luxury at every point of contact.
The burnt orange velvet bench cushion is paired precisely with the warm oak tones throughout — the terracotta sitting between the coolness of the teal and the warmth of the oak in a palette that is immediately striking and completely coherent. Balanced tones, coordinated organisation, brass to match — the names given to these images by the photographer say everything about the intention behind every decision in this room.

|
Deep Teal Joinery Throughout A deep petrol teal runs through every piece of joinery — overhead cabinets, desk unit, shelving frames and bench housing — a confident colour choice that gives the office a sense of serious purpose. |
Warm Oak Panelling & Shelving Warm oak surfaces throughout — flat panel backing to the shelving and desk run, textured vertical oak slat feature wall behind the bench, and herringbone parquet underfoot — the warm grain tones softening the teal. |
|
Havwoods Terrazzo Resin Worktop The desk and shelf worktops are finished in a Havwoods terrazzo-effect resin — a premium surface specification that introduces depth, pattern and material interest at every working surface. |
Brass Inlay Cabinet Detail Vertical brass inlay strips run down the teal cabinet doors throughout — adding warmth, tone and a considered luxury detail that connects the whole scheme with a thread of warm metal. |
|
Burnt Orange Velvet Bench A full-width built-in bench seat upholstered in burnt orange velvet provides a dedicated relaxation zone within the office — the warm terracotta a perfect foil to the cool teal and warm oak. |
Oak Slat Feature Wall A floor-to-ceiling textured vertical oak slat panel forms the backdrop to the bench — LED lit from within, its warm amber glow creates a completely distinct atmosphere within the working space. |
|
Integrated LED Lighting LED lighting runs beneath the overhead cabinets, within the shelving, and behind the oak slat feature wall — providing a warm, layered lighting scheme that works beautifully at every hour. |
Shoe Storage & Hidden Drawers Below the bench, bespoke oak-fronted drawers provide concealed shoe storage and practical everyday organisation — the office equivalent of a wardrobe's pull-out drawers. |
|
Full-Width Fitted Desk Run A full-width built-in desk run spans the width of the working wall — the Havwoods resin surface continuous from the desk through the shelving unit, with integrated teal drawers beneath. |
Coordinated Organisation Every detail of the storage — overhead cabinets, open shelving, desk drawers, bench storage — is coordinated as a single system, ensuring the home office works as hard as it looks beautiful. |
