Sorry to do this, but we have to chat about my home office redo yet again. It’s just been on my mind so much lately. And while I haven’t made the huge strides I was hoping for, I have at least pulled the trigger on a desk from Joss and Main, as well as started the creation of a closet gift wrapping station. Progress is slow but it IS happening lovelies!
Pulling my look together on Pinterest has been really helpful and I think I’ve truly nailed down the vibe I’m going for. Here is one of my main inspiration images (via). I love how it feels fresh and airy with a touch of glamour.
Other images like these have also helped me determine that I definitely want something contemporary. I love the bright pops of color against neutral backgrounds and I now know that I need some sort of additional seating option. Maybe a cushy chair for reading and editing away from the computer?

So, what do you think? Is this a look you would go for or is your style completely different? After I put together that desk and the finishing touches on my gift wrapping station, it’s on to curtains and a rug. Any suggestions? I’m all ears!

I’m in the exact same boat! We’ve been in our house since September and all I’ve done to our office is buy a desk. Love the first pic – clean, fresh and calm but with a touch of fun.

I love contemporary. My dream is to have a house with an office of my own, and I adore the first one you posted. Modern and feminine; I love it.

I am totally with you. I am a modern contemporary kind of girl. I like each room for different reasons. Now is only I can figure out how to get a room all to my self for a home office.
We are actually working on renovating our basement.

Seriously cannot wait for the day I get to design a home office in my house! Love all of these, but especially the last shot. Really love modern mixed with classic and pops of color in an office

I love the elegance of the first look, especially the zebra carpet, yet I also adore the childlike feel, carefree and upbeat look of the second home office photo. Lovely!

Love these spaces! And it couldn’t have come at a better time since I’m in the process of working on our home office space
[Reply]
I really love that last pic.

Umm, you pretty much just captured my ideal office in that first photo! Love the see-through chest against the wall and the zebra print rug! I’m going to follow you on Pinterest right now!!

LOVE! The top is totally my style too. I did dark grey walls with all white lacquer, recently buying the Jett desk from Z Gallerie (I adored the desk in your pic from West Elm but it just wasn’t big enough for my needs). Can’t wait to see how yours comes together!
[Reply]
Love the inspirations. I’d gladly take the top photo!
[Reply]
that first looks is my fave. i really need to get plugging away on pinterest to re-do our office and most importantly the kids room! Eeek! So much to do!
[Reply]
I’m in love with the color palette of the 2nd space you listed. The blue houndstooth & burnt orange paired with that oatmeal sofa is so serene & cozy. I love it!
[Reply]
I could definitely do some damage in that first office
pretty!

That first office is so great. The clear chest in the background is such a great, unexpected touch.
[Reply]
I should definitely start using Pinterest for home decor ideas! I have a neglected board for it, but you’ve inspired me to start pinning onto it again.
[Reply]
I finally have an office to call my own. It makes such a difference having an inspiring space!
[Reply]
great finds!

I like the last office the best, so nice and lived in!
[Reply]
That first picture is a perfect office! I would love mine to look like that, instead of the mess mine currently is! I seriously want the perspex chest! It would be awesome filled with my magazines!

This is SO something I would go for–I love all your inspiration looks! I don’t really have an office–just a little space in our living room, but I think I need to spruce it up a little!
[Reply]
I love the looks you chose here and I can’t wait to see what you ended up doing! I have a pinboard for home offices too. Now all I need is an actual office to decorate and style! My “office” consists of a corner in my bedroom but for now it works:)
[Reply]
i’d never heard of decorpad.com thanks so much for the intro. it looks like all of the pieces in the first office {my fav} is affordable… target, overstock.com, westelm, etc. LOVE!

I LOVE the desk. Where is it from?
