From Your Workday to Your Wind Down: How Custom Furniture Design Shapes the Way We Live

As the way we work continues to evolve; at home, in the office or in a hybrid capacity, something we’ve always valued has become more important than ever… thoughtfully designed spaces matter! Whether that’s an open-plan office, buzzing with collaboration or a tranquil bedroom sanctuary, where your workday ends and begins, the environments we inhabit shape how we think, feel and how we perform.

At Workspace, we’ve long championed the power of intelligent office design; crafting bespoke, functional interiors that support productivity, wellbeing and the unique ways modern teams operate.  However, outside of the workplace, a parallel design revolution is happening! As we’re spending ever more time in our homes, particularly with the rise of the working from home culture, the importance of our home environment has become impossible to ignore; it’s how and where we recharge, but now also, contributes to how we work and succeed in our professional lives too. 

One brand redefining what’s possible in personal living spaces is My Fitted Bedroom; specialists in bespoke fitted wardrobes and custom fitted furniture, but more importantly, another proud Northern business like us! You might be wondering: what does office design have to do with fitted wardrobes? Well, it turns out, it’s more than you’d think! In today’s hybrid world, the boundaries between professional and personal spaces are undoubtedly blurring…

The Rise of the Hybrid Lifestyle: One Design Philosophy, Two Environments

Whilst the pandemic accelerated the shift, hybrid working - and hybrid living - is here to stay and has created a powerful crossover between workplace design and home interiors:

1. Organisation is No Longer Optional, It’s Foundational

In the office, clutter-free environments allow people to focus and at home, the same rule applies. Whilst Workspace achieves this through smart storage solutions and tailored office layouts, My Fitted Bedroom brings this philosophy into the home, with made to measure fitted wardrobes, fitted offices and fitted furniture that ensures every inch of valuable home space is utilised with intention - alike us, they recognise the value in creating functional spaces.

2. Purpose-Built Spaces Improve Performance

Whether you’re designing a meeting room at work or an office at home, a space designed for purpose performs better! At Workspace, we design offices around workflows, team dynamics, acoustics and productivity; My Fitted Bedroom designs rooms with fitted wardrobes built around lifestyle needs and storage requirements. Ultimately, we both recognise that the most effective environments are custom and tailored; not one size fits all! Whether it’s:

  • A tailored home office;

  • A workspace storage solution;

  • A modern fitted wardrobe;

  • A bespoke storage wall;

  • A custom desk set up;

  • And more…

Practically, makeshift desks or dining table set ups are no longer working; professional-grade comfort and posture support are a must! Workspace’s ergonomic seating, combined with My Fitted Bedroom’s bespoke home offices brings the benefits of a workplace directly into a home, helping people to work effectively, without compromise.

3. Custom Design Enhances Wellbeing and Peace of Mind

Workplace wellbeing has become one of the most important pillars of modern office design; natural materials, improved ergonomics and thoughtful layouts contribute to happier, healthier teams. At home, wellbeing is in fact the same and often looks like peace, order and a home that provides a psychological reset from your worklife; whether you’re working from home or not. Whilst the environments may differ, the goal remains the same; to add to the users sense of peace.

4. Maximising Every Inch

Whether it’s an office or a home, there’s often one universal challenge: space. Every metre needs to earn its keep! At Workspace, we specialise in optimising commercial floorplans for flow and efficiency. My Fitted Bedroom does the same for homes; creating bespoke fitted wardrobes, that makes even the smallest rooms feel spacious and organised. Their made to measure furniture designs maximise awkward corners, alcoves or any unusual nooks, ensuring a storage solution that genuinely works for its owners’ lifestyle. Our mutual expertise in creating intelligent spaces makes us natural allies!

4. Design That Reflects Identity

Businesses want office furniture that expresses their brand; they want spaces that communicate who they are, what they stand for and how they operate.  From colour schemes to material choices, every design decision influences how employees and visitors experience the company. Homeowners want rooms that express their lifestyle in the same way - whether that’s a minimalist, calm interior or a bold and contemporary design that makes a space feel truly their own. We both understand that great design is about creating meaningful spaces that make people feel at home, whether that’s stepping into the office or settling in for the night!

Why My Fitted Bedroom is Leading the Way in Home Organisation

With search demand for fitted wardrobes at an all time high, homeowners are increasingly turning to made to measure wardrobes as a solution over flat pack or modular furniture. My Fitted Bedroom’s reputation for craftsmanship, precision and innovation has made them a leader in the fitted furniture space. Their fitted wardrobes, fitted offices, fitted bedrooms and more, bring the same level of polish and functionality found in a modern office design, into a home and are as such, a lifestyle upgrade - we wouldn’t mention them if they weren’t!

Two Brands, One Vision

Whilst Workspace and My Fitted Bedroom operate in different sectors, we share a single mission: to design spaces that help people live and work better.

One transforms work environments. The other transforms home environments. Together, we know that every space - bedroom or boardroom - should be built with purpose, style and the people using it at its core.

If you’re seeking a workspace that elevates your team in an office setting, we’re here to bring your vision to life! If your worklife is hybrid (or even if it isn’t!), create a sense of order at home too, with a bespoke interior design at home, by exploring the prospect of fitted wardrobes with My Fitted Bedroom. 

Great design doesn’t stop at the office door - it’s a lifestyle.
