With the exposed basement walls being sheetrocked, we now have a dedicated workout room. My treadmill has been in a bedroom (used as an office) upstairs for a few years but has now been relocated to the basement. That made the office a little less crowded and just begging for an update, so I started thinking about what to do in there. These are my favorite office inspiration pictures.
Inspiration #1
What I love: the chinese chippendale chair, pinboard, sleek desk, the lighting, bright colors!
Inspiration #2
Our room has a layout that is somewhat like this one, with a window on the back wall. We don’t have such beautiful molding, but that wouldn’t be too bad of a task to add later.
What I love: the molding, wall color, the lighting, the magnetic wall!
Inspiration #3
What I love: chinese chippendale chairs again!, pinboard, sleek desk
I’m sure you can definitely see some common themes. Right now, I’m loving light, white desks over darker furniture. I think a stylish place to post reminders, invitations, and inspiration pictures is practical and useful. Lighting is important and can really dress up a place that is often thought of as purely functional. And those chinese chippendale chairs are just fabulous. Ballards sells a version with casters that would be lovely!
Do you have a home office? Is it a dedicated room or a small area in another room? How have you made it work well for your needs?
