Another style option is elevated boho.
No hanging plants or macrame - bold patterned guest chair or rug, large tiger art for wall, textured accessories such as tall sprigs in a patterned vase for the console or corner. (The tiger art could be inspirational but if you are a football family it may be the wrong mascot!)
You could also use the chinoiserie for this look.

@enajasereht Your comment just shows that you have not read the thread as she has previously posted it.

Anna - you got everyone all excited about being able to change the furniture - and then popped our bubble!!! 🤣

If you have room for visitor chairs (or one chair) - I think adding one that has a feminine fabric + has no wood showing is a great idea (that's what I did). Tozmo1 has posted some good examples.

I also had fresh flowers most of the time + my plant and tree. They helped soften up the standard associate furniture.

I also still believe that adding art will make a big difference + if you can remove the hutch in order to provide yourself with more breathing room.

No one had curtains installed in my firm - but I never asked if I could. Hmmm . . .

Aeron chairs come in a pale grey? Whaaaa? Pink and grey, very feminine combo.

I'm out of free chatGPT for the day or I'd replace that heavy leather one with this one to see how it is.

RNmomof2 zone 55 now I see her home office. Looks a little Lilly Pulitzer to me which is cool for her home. I really like Tozmo1 pictures for her business office.

If you cant replace the furniture, can you paint it and the room?

One more update: plot twist again— I am in fact getting new furniture… for real this time 😅

Anna!!! LOL

I think to A LOT of pink is a big mistake. It looks my my bedroom in the 6th grade! Your job is serious and should be taken serious even by your colleagues who visit your personal office. A vase with some pink flowers is just enough. Too much just looks silly. Just my opinion.

The ball’s in your court now, Anna. Measure the room or have someone do it for you. Then determine what furniture you need and post the measurements and photos if you can.then you can get useful advice

Yay!! Can’t wait to see the new furniture and what you do with the office!! (tina marie)

Anna, start with measurements of the space and what you need from a functional standpoint. Then shop for what fits both. I See Diana just posted the same, but that's really where you need to start. The things you picked before were not bad or offensive, they were just large and heavy for the room and too much to do all 2. If you do a credenza and hutch, consider a lighter desk with only minimal drawers. Have at least one guest chair -- two might be better, but you need at least one chair other than yours.

I would also encourage art over diplomas. Every attorney in your office has diplomas and law degrees, bar memberships. They do not look pretty or even interesting. They will not inspire you when deep in thought or provoke better insight, analysis or writing. They are only there to supposedly impress the folks who are probably going to meet with you in a conference room - and everyone knows that if they care they can ask or look it up online. Pick something you enjoy looking at - that means something to you.

LOL!

Yes, you must REPORT TODAY with to-scale renderings, including ALL elevations. Please also provide the SKUs for any items already purchased, as well as a scanned copy of the BILL of LADING.

We will need this by COB today.

Gee, I can not recall ever saying pink was any problem , given it is one of my absolute favorite colors?

I think the use of it here, is best when applied judiciously and professionally as she asked....

Or as she likes..... and then there is what FITS... and from where it need be procured.

I might dare to

..........add some wit, given the firm knows my capabilities...: )

Long live pink !!

Jan. No one said you did.

Blushes can also be very nice and have a feminine feel without going too feminine. Or peach hues in small amounts. Very nice with brown wood tone furniture.

LOL, you may be right!

One person defending her insists there is an office glass wall/door even though it hasn’t been confirmed or verified.

🙋‍♀️

I stand by this just based on the norms of commercial RE visible from the purported office. Modern commercial RE has offices on the perimeter and cubicles or open desks in the center. The perimeter offices always have windows in order to provide some natural light into the core. I mentioned it only because it is relevant for furniture placement.

Kindness "maximus"??? Oy vey.

OY... !

: ) : )

Wow, some people REALLY don't like when posters disobey them. Or react negatively to rude treatment. If I were the OP there is no way I'd come back to this group for advice.

More likely is that her life doesn’t revolve around this app/site, she doesn’t feel she has to reply to each post, she takes the useful advice and ignored the rest. Smart.

Just a thought on the open desk posted above. Back in the day, we purposely had a 'modesty panel' on the front of our desks so we could sit comfortably, even in a skirt, without looking unprofessional. While pants are more de riguere these days, I would still not feel as comfortable with my legs and ankles and whatever showing while talking to a client.

I love @tozmo1 renderings. Nice job incorporating pink with other accents (white/gray/gold) to balance the space.

I love the idea of a pink desk chair and corresponding pink guest / client chairs. You don't have space for much more furniture, but those seem like key elements.

Your space still seem a bit crowded with all three furniture pieces. Do you think you'll use all three? If not, I'd consider putting one of the hutches into storage too.

The moment you have all been waiting for… and not a single one of you better say one even slightly negative thing about it 🤠

^^ no accent chair, no room

Jan, can you do a layout with the desk parallel to the window wall. With less furniture. Eg, a desk, credenza and 1-2 visitor chairs is more the norm.

^^^

"Jan, can you do a layout with the desk parallel to the window wall.....

To get a book case on the left entry wall?"

The desk can not be longer than 60"

OR IT'S an art wall

Basic boring if you ask me and typical man office : )

Floating the desk, also not great, leaves no room for anything anywhere without STUFFED AS A RESULT.

Yeah, I have a strong preference for being head on when someone walks in to my office. And I hoped it would provide room for a chair, which IMHO is far more important than a bookcase but perhaps the OP feels differently and at any rate does not seem to be in the cards.

Thx for satisfying my idle curiosity.

^^

Perpendicular to window just has more style, more option for storage, art, and STILL a very good view of someone entering. Guessing that won't be the

boogey man.?

Just curious how other, similarly shaped offices, in your firm are set up. My husband has a reasonably small t office but it still has a seat for a guest as that seems to be used often.

^^

Chair?

Skip the book case, chair in back left corner, facing the desk

Space is what space is and the "why" of any measure. Six inches can matter quite a lot, as can a foot in this case.

What if, and I’m just throwing this out as it came to me, as the desk to the right immediately at that (south ?) wall facing the window. A narrow tall book shelf at the right in the corner and credenza under the window with visitors chair or two if fit on left (west ?) as entering. Leaving that wall for art. Tall plant in top right corner right of window.

Thinking about wiring for computer could be hidden there to the right vs having the desk in the middle of the office?

My drawings are primitive but here’s my proposal :). If scale could permit?

No see on the open under the desk and perhaps trash bin ? Usually a must in an office out in the open, brief case, what have you, tucked a bit in far bottom right hand corner. Orchids may go nicely on console at window if wanted, interesting decorative books with lavish book ends.

Annie, the desk is not open front.

Well, we don't know what kind of desk she will be getting, since she said she was getting new furniture.

The furniture (shown in the photos) is all brand new and custom ordered—so while it CANNOT be 'replaced' at this point, I can rearrange pieces and/or remove/add some pieces.

I thought she was NOT getting new furniture?

That might be right but comments so far, i assume, are about the furniture shown.

I thought she is now getting new furniture.

Maybe I missed it along the way, but how do you want to use the office? Is it mostly for a quiet working space for you? Or do you need to meet with clients in the space?

I initially had assumed the latter, but if not, then I like Jan's rendering. The hutch behind the desk will be a nice place to add some blush decor. Sitting sideways also gives you a window view while you're working.

@pricklypearcactus The OP previously said she meets with clients in a conference room. Only the occasional coworker in her office.

^^

Don't forget the melted butter!

Unless you have any restrictions, I would go with @JAN MOYER’s suggestion. Buy what you love. Keep it personal but professional. Don’t feel like you have to have standard mahogany furniture that looks like every executive’s. And add color!

How fast do you think one can redo a room? It’s basically two weeks later and you all expect this to be done.

I am always wanting to see the 'after', the finished room!!!

We all want to see the finished room. But let’s be remotely reasonable about how long this project would take to bring to that point.

Oh.......didn't mean finished! Progress was the big Q

As in got different from firm supplier?

Bought something? That sort of query..:)

@thriftyboho Huh?
