Color Palette

The colors selected for this room were intended to create a peaceful office space to support a busy lifestyle. The warm and welcoming color palette feels both inviting and calming.

Behind the desk, is a focal wall painted with the color Redend Point, Sherwin Williams’ Color of the Year 2023. I love that this hue is inspired by connecting with others, which felt spot on for a space designed for a busy professional who collaborates with team members or meets virtually with business colleagues.

A lighter beige color coordinates well with the focal wall and feels fresh paired with mid-tone wood furniture. This hue can be found in the desk chair and the rug.

Green and blue are cool colors that were incorporated into the design to balance the warmer hues in this palette.

Furniture & Decor Selections

The curved desk feels modern and sleek, although the medium wood-toned color makes this piece versatile for a range of design styles.

I selected this beautiful rug for its combination of neutral colors and traditional pattern to create an eclectic look.

Storage solutions are critical to creating and keeping a clutter-free workspace. I love the hidden shelves in the legs of the desk and the mix of closed and open storage in the bookshelves.

An abstract landscape painting makes an excellent focal point for the space and serves as a lovely backdrop for social media videos or virtual calls.

Lighting is another very important element for an office space. I selected modern fixtures for overhead lights and table lamps for task lighting.

But There’s More…One Room Two Looks

Just by changing out the lighting, window treatment fabric, and artwork, the vibe of this room instantly feels moodier and more sophisticated. If this is more your style, check out the accessory and lighting options in the collection.
