Product Placement…. help!

I believe i have everything i want in here, with the exception of the etagere en route and some artwork…..but I’ve moved things around 100 times and can’t figure out how to make it “right”? Anyone? ☹️

    Odd angle. I would say the rug is too small for the room so move the desk comapletely off and set the seating area on it. The green chairs against the green curtains doesn't work for me so if you can provide some contrast, that could work.

    Posting pictures at odd angles is rude and annoying and impossible to work with until we spend the time to straighten the view. Now I want you to see how much of the room your 'artistic' photo shot loses in translation. Try again.

    Thank you for that, my neck was straining lol.

    I like that idea of seating area on the rug. Place the desk on the far window wall with the seat facing the fan and egress passing the window.

    Move the rug out from under the desk so it centers nicely in the remaining space,,,rotate 90 degrees if needed.

    You will have room for the etagere against the near wall facing the camera to balance the weight of the desk. The greens will be balanced in the room, too.

    Oops, I just noticed the niche where the chair is on the left. It's hard to tell the proportions and if the desk should tuck inside or outside that niche.

    Would you take another photo of the space as you see it. Impossible to comment but it looks like rug is off side. Wondering why you chose solid dark window treatments? The green chairs? Love them, but can't get a feel of their position in the room.

    Amanda, Beverly has been with houzz for years. No need for "get a life". She does have a one, and a professional one at that. Her complaint is the photo is skewed. Don't shoot the messenger when you might get top shelf advice for free.

    Can you please share the dimensions of the room as well as the measurements of the desk? I think what’s looking disjointed to me is that the desk is partially on the rug but partially off. Can the desk be repositioned to remedy that? I also agree that the dark curtains with the dark chairs creates a bit of a black (green) hole in that corner.

    ..can’t figure out how to make it “right”? "

    I can't figure it either because I have to look at it sideways.

    post a regular view from diff view points. we have no idea what we're looking at in relation to everything around it. is that a closet door? what about the other green chair? what's that in front of?

    Is this an office only?

    do you want art?

    I believe i have everything i want in here

    Also, this comment doesn't help us. we have no idea what you want in there.

    I have curtains exactly like that in my bedroom and love them, just a different shade of green. 3 sets, sliders, window and porthole. Yes porthole it's 70's! They are blackout and thermal- great when you want to sleep in. Miulee. And in the SW facing Living room in Peacock.

    It's hard to tell, but I think the throw rug needs to be more under the "desk zone" or maybe it's not a large enough rug to cover both the desk zone and seating area zone.


    The rounded chairs nicely break up all the linear aspects of the room (sharp angles of desk and rug lines), but there doesn't seem to be a connection between the rounded chairs and the larger chair...they're just placed around the rug. Do you want that many chairs in a home office? I think two of the larger chairs with the arms would be prettier than two small chairs and the one larger one in order to create a "chair zone" area. And move the round/half round (hard to see shape) by the arm chair since it will make more sense there than just up against the wall between two doors.


    I'd look for a larger vertical piece of art rather than the small neutral horizontal one in the photo and incorporate some of your pretty deep green (along with a plant to repeat the green) in the art and maybe also some black/white art in the room. I'd echo the black in the rug in some accessories on the desk shelf area. I'm not fond of ceiling fans, so I'd opt for a lovely, feminine chandelier in its place.

    What are we even looking at? The photo is impossible.

    Lynzy, we've had this conversation already. I would say maybe OP was trying to get the whole room in one shot? Don't strain your neck and move on lol. OP has lots of ideas now anyway.

    It looks like your desk is in the wrong area in accordance with the rug. Perhaps doing something like this might work better:
