1. Paint the slanted walls wall colour. They aren't ceiling.

2. Put the desk on the wall opposite to the one where it is now, so someone entering sees the profile of the person at the desk rather than their head.

3. Put the table with printer, wifi, etc on the wall next to the window. Run any cords straight down the wall and tuck them under the baseboard to the computer. Or you can dispense with that table altogether and use the shelf where the balls are on the tall shelf for the printer and wifi.

4. If you're taking the table right out, place the recliner in the corner where the table was with a small round side table and reading lamp. Or if you're keeping the table, put the tall shelf where the table was and position the chair in front of it, turned slightly to face the window and desk.

No mirror. If you love it, use it in the foyer, powder room, WIC, etc. Somewhere you will be admiring your good looks or reflecting a different thing of beauty. It doesn't really make sense in an office; use art instead hung at eye level centered between the edge of the printer table and the edge of the furniture on the opposite wall.

Can't really tell what the layout is but concur on mirror. If you keep the monitor over to the right in corner of desk it looks a lot better. Yes, paint slant wall color. A bit of color via toss pillow for chair, photo frame, plant and desk accessories would help. I also prefer some art vs mirror-it's cool but if you have another wall to place it on?

Great ideas we desperately need all this great advice and I will get started on this all soon! I never noticed the slanted part not painted and I’m not sure how the painter missed this!

The slanted walls are ceiling so don't paint them. Your painter did the right thing.

It has to do with how low on the wall the slant begins. In this case, the slant is up high enough that the slanted drywall should be considered ceiling.

At least in these pictures the slanted part of the wall/ceiling looks lighter than anything else, almost like a stripe.

Can you post a flooeplan of the room?

Who makes your desk?

Agree with Beverly. Walls are the vertical panels and ceiling are horizontal or angles. You could paint everything the wall color. That tends to raise the angled ceiling visually. That's what I would do because don't like the visual lines that creates in a fairly small space. Mirror doesn't work. But I can't follow the layout you are proposing or have done with your description. Can you post a rough sketch? Note doors and window locations.

Painting the angles or not...

Mdln that does not even look like the same room! Stunning did you do this yourself?

Here is the floor plan that our interior designer did and did not finish and he moved so we are struggling with all the finishing touches

This one is easier to visualize I think

The desk and everything else in it as far as furniture is from Arhaus and next to it also is the Palmer return desk and it’s such a disappointment when we go way over our budget because it was our first house and it doesn’t look amazing like we had imagined

Why a mirror in that space at all? I agree next to the monitor it appears too low, but I am guessing it is the proper height to stand in front of and see yourself. Again, why is that a thing in an office? I would agree you did not get THE BANG for your buck.

Like others have suggested, I'd paint the slanted portion the same color as the walls - I think it will visually make the room look larger. Working at a desk with your back to the entrance would not work for me. Can you move the desk to the right wall? Can the desk be seperated so that you can place the side work space on the other side (so it would be on the same wall that your desk is currently in)? I agree with a previous poster that a pop of color would be nice - something on the wall shelves and a throw on the swivel chair (makes it a nice place to read in the winter when it's cold out). Your office is lovely - just needs a little tweaking and some of your own personal touches - right now ot looks right out of a magazine with no personal touches. It looks like you have a good amount of light coming in through the window - a nice plant would be nice too.

I see this is also to be a 'man cave'. Currently I do not see anything to suggest that this is a man cave. Perhaps some of the wall art could reflect that - whatever your hobbies are - nautical if you have a boat, sports paraphernalia, etc.

The ceiling looks fine like it is. I would go forward with getting a floor lamp, as per the designer's plan. Is there room to move the bookcase to the left of the window? If not, then maybe to the right of the window. Place the mirror elsewhere in your house and opt for some large colorful artwork for the walls.

It makes sense to me to flip what you have and put the return near the window...then move the chair to the other corner...

Do you need the bookcase in there? I doesn't look like you need a lot of book storage, but you might be in the middle of putting them all out...

Either way, flip the return to the opposite wall and move the desk over for a start..

Please don't fret. You're getting there...

I would paint walls, ceiling, and angled piece the same color. It works in my house without angled pieces and I think it's made for your room.

Looking at the examples mdln posted, I think treating the angled area as ceiling was the right call in your case. I'm guessing it looks even more like ceiling in real life where you're seeing the whole space at once. Sometimes pictures can make something look odd when really it doesn't in the big picture.

I agree about moving the mirror to another room where it has a purpose, playing with the layout, and adding some art you love to personalize the space. I understand the desire to have it all done right away, but have found the longer I allow myself to mull things over and get to know a space, the happier I am with the results in the end. I think you have a great start.

I agree the room has potential and the furniture you bought looks nice in the space. The paint is quite complimentary to the other elements in your room. Rearrange, take down the mirror, and stay positive :-)

A mirror as a decorative element in a room should reflect something light. It serves a similar function to a window, giving you a view of something. Right now the mirror is hidden behind the monitor and reflects the closet doors, and also adds a distraction while you are working at the desk. Move it to the wall across from the window. It will brighten that dead space and reflect the light coming from the window and the view beyond the blinds.

On the contrary, the furniture is perfect and I really like the style. I could see myself working at that desk and then sitting on that beautiful lounge chair with a cup of coffee. I dont think you have any reason to be disappointed. I personally think office furniture can be very difficult to select and I think your choices are great. I also want to add that I really like the lines of that desk chair. For me, the mirror is throwing everything off. Can you take a pic with the mirror down?

Put bypass doors on the closet and rearrange the furniture so no one can sneak up on you from behind.

Agree w/ changing closet doors to bypass; did that in my office/library.

Like desk in front of or looking toward window, not facing a wall.

Think mirror is fine to reflect light & brighten room.

Furniture pushed up against walls often does not look so good.

I really like the style of the furniture, too. The desk has a finished back, so it can be placed away from a wall. I spend a lot of time at my desk and I don't like to be looking at a wall or have my back to the entrance of the room.

Mdln makes and excellent point. I had an office where my desk faced a wall with my back to the entrance door, and when I changed it I felt immediately better in that space and was more productive. My current home office has my back to the door but I face out a window. Another idea is to be angled so that you can look out a window when you turn your head. That is the current layout of my office at work.

Mdln that was amazing how you were able to come up with all those different options. Great eye and great computer graphics skills!

I really like the last graphic Mdln did, with the desk placed parallel to the wall, with your back against the wall. You can see the door, out the window and someone could plop down in that chair to visit.

The desk is made from Arhaus and thank you all for the ideas
