Study If you're working out of the home, you want that space to be as comfortable and well designed as the rest of the house. At Harrod's Creek, the study area is located off the left front of the foyer. "It's ideal for someone who needs to receive clients or business associates because you don't need to walk through the rest of the house to get to the home office," says architect Mark Carlson. Raised cherry paneling surrounds the room, giving it a handsome and cozy feel. Convenient built-in bookcases and a credenza, also in cherry, line one wall. A round table sits in the middle of the room flanked by four leather chairs. After hours, the table and chairs convert to a perfect spot for playing games. Instead of another built-in, a large armoire holds the television, giving the room more character.
