Feminine office space help

4 years ago

this is my office space off my bedroom it’s long and narrow. It has become a dumping zone which I am currently in the process of cleaning out but what I am left with is a file cabinet a stack of drawers a bookshelf a dark desk and a comfy leather heavy chair that is probably too big for the space but love working in it sometimes. This is my writing area and I would like it to be more inspiring, feminine and braider. What can you recommend obviously a runner would be nice but other things to make a dark furniture area more feminine?

    I would suggest: change your light bulbs so that they are same. Right now desk lamp gives off a yellow glow and the ceiling lights a white glow. Maybe a pillow on the leather chair for color. yes a rug for color and pattern. Some artwork on the walls.

    Paint the walls white or pale pink OR use wallpaper


    change lighting: fun feminine chandelier


    area rug or 2 layered on top of another


    framed art


    pretty and feminine chairs

    What Juliet said. Since you've got two light fixtures, neither centered in the room, you might want matching attractive semi-flush fixtures, instead of chandeliers. Maybe a throw blanket on the chair in addition to the pillow. Drapes on the window. A floor lamp behind your chair.

    I've found pretty shelves work wonders, in small office spaces, like the one I have. Especially if the shelves are clear, or some pretty material like wood or copper.

    In my own tiny office space, I can take my paintings off the wall and flip them over to access the wipeboards (one for daily/weekly plans, the other for general use) that I stuck to the back of the canvases, inside the canvas frames.

    I bought quite a few decorative files, for record keeping, as well.  There are these super durable, transparent rainbow-colored plastic files on Amazon,  that I chose,  but there are a lot of options for decorative filing.

    I personally also like pretty lamps?   I have a lotus-shaped lamp, and I've seen these awesome book lamps, boho lamps, or stained glass lamps that can really make any space look beautiful.

    Does anyone have photo shop and can show me a rendering of what the space 'could' be using the brown desk and big chair in the corner those peices are heirlooms so I don't wanna get rid of them.

    We think decluttering the space is the first thing that should be done, but we wanted to share some of the office designs we have finished for clients. Please note the paint, rugs, artwork, lighting, window treatments, desks, chairs, etc.
