Comfort comes in many shapes and forms. Where your office is located is going to affect not only your productivity but the family dynamics. If you can set up a home office in a separate room, that’s ideal. But not everyone has that option. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f027c584476376a81385348/1633466404738-BR69U35FNTC84L13X0IU/IMG_0578.jpg Blog - Working From Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f027c584476376a81385348/1633466726718-AYJF3ERTH5EYHF9VHZL8/Home+Office+2.jpg Blog - Working From Home - Keep It Simple Try not to over decorate. You may be tempted to recreate the beautifully styled home offices that you see on Pinterest. There are the desks with flower arrangements and tons of books, the inspirational quotes and family photos. But it is just that, a beautifully styled desk but likely not a practical workspace. Keep your workspace simple, clean, and organized, especially if your desk is in one of the main living spaces. Ideally, use a desk with drawers where you can store all pens, pencils and Post-It notes. Focus more on streamlining your workspace rather than on the décor. Bring Life To The Walls Those inspirational quotes and family pictures can still be around you. Hang them on the wall above your desk. https://www.ogandecor.com/blog-3/holding-on-to-summer monthly 0.5 2021-09-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f027c584476376a81385348/1631754529697-VOII8ECG7FNGON5KF8YD/Summer+Steps.jpeg Blog - Holding On To Summer - Blurring the Lines Between Indoors and Outdoors This is not reserved only for the summer. We can continue blurring the lines as long as we are comfortable using our outdoor spaces and want to stay connected with nature. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f027c584476376a81385348/1631755158149-YEJ2AO0AH16APJTWREPF/Backyard+Picnic.jpg Blog - Holding On To Summer - Carpets, Firepits and Blankets Late summer and early fall are one of the best times to be outside, to open the doors and windows, to entertain or simply enjoy the sunset from your backyards. No heat, no bugs. Treat the outdoors like it is another room in your home. Use comfortable furniture and define the different areas of the outdoors by placing outdoor runners, area rugs and using planters and containers to bring in a focal point or direct traffic. Create a gathering space around a table or a firepit. Or just use a blanket and have a backyard picnic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f027c584476376a81385348/1631755027642-WDNR6TS26N1T7GCMYRSZ/3flower-pots-on-stairs.jpg Blog - Holding On To Summer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f027c584476376a81385348/1631755027667-5UKEWK0H5OE77Z808NYJ/golemi-saksii-za-gradinata-i-dvoda.jpg Blog - Holding On To Summer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f027c584476376a81385348/1631755029366-RJUIZHIAM389YRI3HE9N/IMG_9790.jpg Blog - Holding On To Summer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f027c584476376a81385348/1631755029279-N01THDF78TJZYLQUKNPU/Outdoor+Planters.jpg Blog - Holding On To Summer https://www.ogandecor.com/blog-3/5e6gswygr7mfvvrszs61iscezchc6o monthly 0.5 2021-01-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f027c584476376a81385348/1611439393530-YNWGY29IZVW5R4B5961V/Bathroom+1.jpg Blog - Beyond Carrara Or Making The Case For The Porcelain Tile - So why are people hesitant to use porcelain tile which is so widely used and appreciated in the rest of the world? For starters, we have come to believe that porcelain tile will make our bathrooms look “cheap” and less classy. Marble has been popularized as the to-go stone to use everywhere. You see it in entryways, as kitchen counters, as backsplash, as shower tile and floor, as fireplace mantels, everywhere. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f027c584476376a81385348/1611440703602-D7LHM99YQ21HD6P3RN2W/Picture1.jpg Blog - Beyond Carrara Or Making The Case For The Porcelain Tile https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f027c584476376a81385348/1611440703595-ATGBHK4FHF6TB0QKWWBQ/Picture2.jpg Blog - Beyond Carrara Or Making The Case For The Porcelain Tile https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f027c584476376a81385348/1611440703992-R4T1766IAPE8O0PPORA1/Picture3.jpg Blog - Beyond Carrara Or Making The Case For The Porcelain Tile https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f027c584476376a81385348/1611440704032-P8MEG3OYCEUC6RED25XF/Picture4.jpg Blog - Beyond Carrara Or Making The Case For The Porcelain Tile https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f027c584476376a81385348/1611441863017-4OLI450H6N0RTC3YV5AO/Cote+D%27Azur.jpg Blog - Beyond Carrara Or Making The Case For The Porcelain Tile https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f027c584476376a81385348/1611441862346-TVK5B3EYED4A7P035JF0/dezeen+travertine.jpg Blog - Beyond Carrara Or Making The Case For The Porcelain Tile https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f027c584476376a81385348/1611441863459-1B6ELMDGAS03KQCUV9QE/Milas-Lilac-Marble-Bathroom-Decoration.jpg Blog - Beyond Carrara Or Making The Case For The Porcelain Tile https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f027c584476376a81385348/1611441863684-EZI73ZO8NGCXO84X54H5/Noir+St.+Laurent+ABC+Stone.jpg Blog - Beyond Carrara Or Making The Case For The Porcelain Tile https://www.ogandecor.com/blog-3/the-things-i-wish-i-had-help-with-before-i-moved-to-my-new-house monthly 0.5 2023-09-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f027c584476376a81385348/1598754469988-6UMGGQ9BCBWB47K6VCZS/benjamin_moore_color_trends_2019_set.jpg Blog - The Things I Wish I Had Help With Before I Moved To My New House - The color wasn’t the color we wanted. There was no way we could know from so far away that the greenery around own new house, the darker rooms and deeper shadows turned this beautiful and vibrant color into a color disaster. This is one small example of the “mistakes” we had to live with for a while because we didn’t have help. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f027c584476376a81385348/1598753854429-HRG5KRBMM0HC2ZMHKAKO/Dining+Room+1.jpg Blog - The Things I Wish I Had Help With Before I Moved To My New House - We had seen the house. There were pink walls and wallpaper with roses in many of the rooms. The columns separating the living and dining rooms were covered with elaborate flower mural. The fireplace in the living room had this interesting pink and green tile work and the fireplace surround in the family room was made of coasters with the names of French wines proudly displayed. https://www.ogandecor.com/blog-3/who-doesnt-like-a-good-beforeampafter monthly 0.5 2021-01-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f027c584476376a81385348/1596397629932-D8LL5GVYCY02IEIG30IH/IMG_0786.jpg Blog - Who Doesn’t Like a Before & After - AFTER Her first request was to update the fireplace. The focal point of the room was sporting an old fashioned brass door, way too shiny and dated. What do we do now? She didn’t want to spend any money on refinishing the fireplace or replacing the mantel. That would’ve involved the need for fixing the wall around it and the floor. Too much for my busy, doctor friend. Well, I believe that sometimes the simple approach is the best. So I removed the old, shiny fireplace door and painted the interior black. When you paint the interior brick of a fireplace black, it makes for a quick and inexpensive update. It immediately makes the fireplace look more modern and clean. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f027c584476376a81385348/1596397504654-4KVVX2RDKCLGQYXPWOJ3/IMG_0784.jpg Blog - Who Doesn’t Like a Before & After - We then selected a nice and soothing paint color to complement the strong colors of my friend’s furniture pieces and window treatment. As we were talking about the overall appearance of the more formal part of the house, I noticed that her dining room was lacking more formal features, such as wainscoting and nice paneling and trim around the door arches. The product of this simple and quick update was clean, welcoming, updated rooms ready to receive friends and family. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f027c584476376a81385348/1596398367193-64NPFIDV8Y2Z507OIOFS/IMG_8253.JPG Blog - Who Doesn’t Like a Before & After https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f027c584476376a81385348/1596398367373-4U6TUCWB0BW2FVKPXMPS/IMG_8254.JPG Blog - Who Doesn’t Like a Before & After https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f027c584476376a81385348/1596398369309-10S631RQCKJRVBXBPUAZ/IMG_8255.JPG Blog - Who Doesn’t Like a Before & After https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f027c584476376a81385348/1596398369315-JI170HVT6P7GESNDIGTB/IMG_8252.JPG Blog - Who Doesn’t Like a Before & After https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f027c584476376a81385348/1596397849121-QPKBOC398MUYUX5NAP5L/IMG_0804.jpg Blog - Who Doesn’t Like a Before & After https://www.ogandecor.com/contact daily 0.75 2023-12-11 https://www.ogandecor.com/homepage daily 1.0 2024-10-02 https://www.ogandecor.com/homepage/design-packages monthly 0.5 2021-09-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f027c584476376a81385348/1633705705557-YAZ2SS07YYEJ2H7SA0SI/%D0%A1%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BC%D0%BA%D0%B0+3.jpg Ogan Home Design & Decor - dESIGN Packages - If your project doesn't fit into one of the dESIGN Packages, we can develop a Custom dESIGN Package for your home that is tailored to your specific needs.
