Contemporary meets traditional in this La Cañada Study. The concept was simplicity with richness and depth, creating a calming workspace. The abundance of light and high ceilings made the perfect setting for a deep, handsome color palette. There was a focus on layering materials, including a sisal rug, woven shades, a mix of metals and different woods. Amy Bartlam

The white cabinetry in this home office in Irvine, CA is contrasted with a black desk surface made from honed Black Absolute granite. This office shares the space with a sleeper sofa, which gives the room dual function as an office and a guest bedroom.

This beautiful study was part of a whole house design and renovation by Haven Design and Construction. For this room, our objective was to create a feminine and sophisticated study for our client. She requested a design that was unique and fresh, but still warm and inviting. We wallpapered the back of the bookcases in an eye catching metallic vine pattern to add a feminine touch. Then, we selected a deep gray tone from the wallpaper and painted the bookcases and wainscoting in this striking color. We replaced the carpet with a light wood flooring that compliments the gray woodwork. Our client preferred a petite desk, just large enough for paying bills or working on her laptop, so our first furniture selection was a lovely black desk with feminine curved detailing and delicate star hardware. The room still needed a focal point, so we selected a striking lucite and gold chandelier to set the tone. The design was completed by a pair of gray velvet guest chairs. The gold twig pattern on the back of the chairs compliments the metallic wallpaper pattern perfectly. Finally the room was carefully detailed with unique accessories and custom bound books to fill the bookcases.
