Harmony is best achieved when the accessories help to define your room's style. In this space, the globes, artwork and even the books all work together to create a traditional, vintage feel.
Globes have been collectors' items for years now. I'm not sure why things with an institutional origin (school clocks and maps, military trunks) are big right now, but if you can find a globe that was created for educational purposes, ideally with defunct countries and borders, you are in luck.
But why relegate maps to walls at all? What's more global than a globe? In this vignette, the globes are a big part of the Old-World look, but the rest of the elements are pulling their own weight: The stunning credenza sitting beneath a traditional painting and all those books results in a space that feels loved by well-traveled owner(s) with impeccable taste.
Create a warm and inviting tone in an office. Make your office feel less like a commercial space by giving it character through the credenza. Because it is a large piece of furniture, it can make a statement in a handsome stained wood finish with curvy legs. Use one with a deep wood tone to get more of a library feel.
