You are in "conversations." Will get much more feedback if you post in Home Decorating.

Thanks decoenthuasiaste! I think we will follow your advice and position the desk that way. This way I'll have the window to my left and can look into the backyard if I want, and also face the large wall where we can place a nice long & short bookcase with art. I think the reading area to my right (on wall that current has guitar and standing lamp) will look great. We are going to try a rug like this one to complement the more modern bamboo desk top and dark navy walls:

Those pieces will work together. I like wing chairs, and I found this one recently. I really love it. I would pair it with any one of these sofas. I‘m a vegan and could not do the leather, but if I could get it in faux, love the lines. You can definitely mix the wing style chairs with sofas with more modern lines - and particularly the wing chairs that have a modern take - but depending on the chair, many of even the more classic can combine with more modern sofas, too. Very versatile, and fun. You have a good eye. Go with what you like.

Hi April! I think you have a great space and some wonderful pieces to start with. I had a look at your ideabook for offices. Just glancing through the photos, it looks like you’re interested in a more “structural” look, with grids and shelves for literal and visual organization. You could easily pull off one of those looks in your space! Take the “Project Barton Creek” photos for instance. The shelves and cabinets forming the credenza behind the desk bump out into the space in the center of the wall. You could do the same sort of thing on one of your walls. Unless you want to repaint a lot of trim, you’d probably match the cabinet to the trim color. If you want to keep the existing art that hangs on the wall to the right, leave a space for it in the center of the wall cabinets. On either side of the cabinets, create board and batten panels on the wall to keep the built-in look going. Then you just need a great desk to float in the space. When clients call in, they’ll see your great cabinets and art centered right behind you. I love it that you have purple in your room! To go with your new organized motif, you might line up the sofa, rug, and fuzzy ottoman with the walls. Leave a little space behind the sofa. Let the chair float out in the middle of the room. If you’re looking for more lightness and softness, having beige or grey carpet bound to be a room-size rug is an option. To balance the cabinets on the other side of the room, you could do board and batten panels on the left wall as well. One more thought. Your description suggests you’d like a better sense of enclosure on your open wall. How about two square columns, each about a quarter of the the way into the opening. Build them to match the new cabinetry, with molding panels like you see in your ideabook. But leave the side facing into the room open to create thin shelves for books, art, or accessories. That could give your room a little more enclosure as well as storage, without closing it off completely. Those are just some thoughts. Maybe someone else will chime in with some different ideas! Best of luck! - Doug
