This was a big decorating project for a non-profit, youth NGO. Volunteers from all over Europe work with disadvantage and disabled children in Romania. So I had to design a space to accommodate the volunteers and also for the staff. All with a small, tiny budget.
Each rooms color scheme is in one of the logos colors, a fun and quirky logo.
Budget: 500 Euros
Time frame: 3 months

office for a non formal education space, painted furniture, pallet, repurposing upcycling, shelving ideas, wall decor, woodworking projects

This is the first room designed as a coffee break/small meetings space. A small nook with a pallet couch and leftover pallet parts as book shelves.

A small mozaic table with postcards, paper bills and memories from all over the world.

A chalk wall with drawers as shelves for the glassware and tea set.

The second room is the volunteers work space with a pallet couch for crafting, debating, movie nights, etc. The small ottoman is a DIY form a leftover paint bucket.

On the opposite wall is a computer work space for the volunteers. On the wall there are traditional Romanian towels and African artisans work pieces.

Thrift shoped table in a good condition.

Meeting table for the volunteers. The table and 3 of the chairs are all thrift store finds and restored.

DIY wood plates with the NGOs values.

Leftover pallet parts used as folder holders.

This is the 3rd and final room, the staffs office with 2 desks, one double and one individual.

Mobile storage from an old suitcase.

Beautiful framed African fabric.

The individual desk.Pretty much everything we used was either thrift shopped, gifted by someone or collected by Andreea, the president of ZURY, on her many travels. We repurposed, revamped or DIY mostly everything making up for so many projects and colorful pieces. It was a great project and I hope you like it. Want do you think about our project?

thank you for the amazing workspace layout options! I also planned a room for my child in a similar way and he studies hard but only when he has to write a letter does he have difficulties and this affects the grades. Therefore, I decided to Buy Capstone Project and I am very satisfied with the quality of service!

Thanks for Sharing this great idea. Play School or Preschool is an important part of children's life. If anyone is looking for the best play school in India, I recommend taking a look at Footprints Childcare. It offers many great programs for the development of children including daycare, play group, pre-nursery, etc.
