Designing an office

Mikaella Gorelik

3 years ago

I have a dilemma for designing my office. I just purchased the RH French Casement side board ord and hutch in brown Oak (pic attached) for my office wall. I am looking to get a desk that will complement this piece, but clearly this is a statement piece and should be center of attention. Looking for help in ideas of colors and styles of desk I should be looking for. Also, bonus points for decor for the rest of the room (ie accent pieces). Thanks!

Just to add. My office isn’t large. This piece will take up the entire back wall, similar to built in bookshelves. We have hardwood flooring, sand/beige walls, and a large window.

Personally I’d probably stay in that color family for the table. And have the rest of the room bring in the life needed... I’d probably do creams. Like office chair in cream. A pretty rug. Gold lighting. A picture of the space will help a whole lot.

I want to really thank everyone for their input. I showed my husband all the comments and photos and he is NOW starting to hear what I've been saying for quite some time. We are going to step back a little and rethink this space. We were just throwing a bandaid on it, and it wasn't going to satisfy either of us. I will be back on with our other space that has been under renovation because I need help there for sure as well. What an amazing group. Thanks again.

It wouldnt clash at all as long as you don't put them right next to eachother in the room. Mixing metals/wood tones is very "in" right now. All of your other elements you mentioned will balance it out.
