An Office, Music Room and Guest Suite That Make Space for More

A home office that doubles as a music room, and a guest suite that spends most of the week as a study. Custom cabinetry gives each room a clear purpose without limiting what it can do.

One House, Two Very Different Rooms

These rooms belong to the same St. Augustine Beach home, but each has its own character. The office is dark and dramatic, with a backlit guitar display as its focal point. The guest suite is light and calm, with a Murphy bed and desk built into one wall.

Both were planned around the cabinetry. It gives the instruments, work surfaces, bed and storage a place to belong, so each room feels considered in either role.

A Dark Room, Seen From a Light One

Glass pocket doors connect the office to the lighter hallway. They let the black fluted wall become a view into the room, while offering privacy when the doors are closed.

The Instruments Are the Art

The guitars are displayed on brackets against the black fluted wall, with marble-look panels and violet lighting giving each one its own place. The instruments become the artwork in a room that also works as an office.

The vertical texture catches the light and gives the dark wall depth. Cognac leather, cream bouclé and a patterned rug balance the strong finish without competing with it.

A Guest Room That Is a Study Six Days a Week

With the Murphy bed closed, this room works as a study. The bed blends into the white cabinetry, while a lit display niche, drawers and an oak desk make the wall useful every day.

When guests arrive, the bed opens into a room that feels ready for them, without giving up the workspace the homeowners use the rest of the week.

Guest room with a Murphy bed folded down and made up in white bedding with a mustard lumbar pillow, flanked by white built-in cabinetry, a lit display niche with a lamp and framed art, and a white oak desk with dual monitors and an upholstered chair beside a window — The same wall, with the bed down St. Augustine Beach · Flex space

Upper cabinet in a white built-in wall lifted open on brass knobs, its wood-lined interior holding a folded white textured blanket and two blush pillows, above tall cabinet doors with long brass pulls, beside an open display niche holding books and a gilt architectural model — Lift-Up Linen CabinetSt. Augustine Beach · Millwork

The Guest Linens Stay in the Room

A lift-up door high in the cabinet run keeps the bedding in the room it belongs to, so making up the bed is not a trip to a closet at the other end of the house.

The inside is lined in warm wood behind the white fronts, and the same brass hardware carries across the whole run.

Sitting room with a curved cream boucle sectional facing a round white oak coffee table with a fluted base and stone top, a wall of windows looking onto palms and clipped hedges, a fiddle-leaf fig in a terracotta pot, a white arc floor lamp and slim brass nesting side tables — Curved Sectional Sun RoomSt. Augustine Beach · Living room

Curves Against a Wall of Glass

In the adjoining sitting room, windows bring the garden into view. A curved cream bouclé sectional and round oak table soften the straight lines of the glass, while low furniture keeps the outlook open.
