Therapy Office Layout and Decor Ideas!

9 months ago

In desperate need of help regarding both decor (especially for the built ins and mantle) as well as layout.

For context, the doors on the left-the first one (see photo 2) doesn’t open and the further one closest to the built in is a closet (seen in photo 1). I don’t have exact measurements yet but ~240 square feet.

I added photos of how the previous therapist had the office laid out. I’m hoping to have a couch, accent chair and place for a desk. I hate the idea of blocking the fireplace like you’ll see in the photos.

In an ideal world, my desk would be able to face towards the couch. I’m a nurse practitioner and often sit behind my desk to allow for documentation throughout the appointment. That said, it’s not a non-negotiable, I’m open to whatever layout is most aesthetic

Regarding decor, I’m not a fan of the color of the tile on the fireplace. Does my color scheme need to be centered around that green color? Is contact paper over the tile something anyone has had success with?

Most importantly, I’d appreciate suggestions for decor for the beautiful built in bookcase and the mantle.

Thanks!

    Talking with a therapist whose sitting behind a desk is not my idea of a comforting session.

    The right colored blue sofa with green pillows might work with that fireplace tile.

    Small client sofa where desk is currently located. Therapist chair across from it between two doors but pulled into the center of the room. Show us a picture of the wall where the door to enter the room is located.

    Are all of your files online? Do you just need small desk upon which to use your laptop? Try to place it on the entry wall. Get as small of a desk as possible.

    Don't put too much decor on the shelves. It is distracting. Add some books, a few items here and there.

    What colors do you like? I'd find ones that coordinate with the green but they don't have to have the green in them. I think that contact paper is going to look cheap.

    Get a rug and place the front legs of the sofa and therapist chair on them.

    No leather sofas.

    This white hearth cover for the fireplace. Closing it off will feel more cozy and comfortable.



    Leave the green tile... And the green goes with plants, you should have living plants. .

    Without dimensions it's difficult to say exactly what will fit in the room but maybe something like this can work with a small desk. Is there any lighting in this room or will it only be table and/or floor lamps?

    I’m hoping to get dimensions this weekend and will update. I will also take a picture of the wall that the door is on. I know it’s about 210 sq ft.

    Depends on how flexible you are:

    Desk - smaller/only one drawer and adding organization in the closet for files if needed.


    Seating - would a comfy chair and love seat work and you’ll have more flexibility layout wise.

    Fireplace/bookcase - I think if the green was decorated around, it could be a lovely feature and decorate bookcase based on practical vs decorative needs. I’d actually paint the wall the same color and add shelving above radiator for balance, creating a lovely feature wall. Paint color and rug are important decisions


    Layout: narrow down seating and desk type and find an on line room planner, adding dimensions and structural components to see what suits/meets your needs.

    With all those doors, window and fireplace in the room I think a floor plan showing all dimensions is necessary to figure out what can be done for a furniture layout that will work for you.
