INTERIOR DESIGNERIN CARINA HÖLZER

A really good ergonomic chair, efficient task lighting, a desk size appropriate to the work performed, and a well-organised work-life balance! 

The best furnishing trick is… to do everything possible to boost physical and mental health choose appropriate furniture with intelligent functions and a good design. Here, everyday functional aspects should be combined with homely, personal touches to achieve an overall composition that works well and looks great.

I value things like a screen shield to prevent glare, or being able to look at the garden or gaze into the distance. It’s a chance to open the mind and rest the eyes. Depending on the job in hand, I can also deliberately incorporate all the rooms around my home into my daily routine. For instance if I have a reading task the living room sofa is ideal for that, and if I need a big space to spread out my paperwork I can use the dining table.

• My books, which have a lot to do with my work and my personality, and which I often miss when I’m at work because I don’t have them to hand.
• The art I’ve designed myself and my pictures, my old wooden cupboard that my father did up for me.
• My favourite thing is the view of the garden and the coffee, which is absolutely amazing at home! 😊
