Office Styling Help
I’m looking for suggestions to make my commercial office space more cozy.
Artwork, rugs, lighting, plants, accesories, small furnishings. Things that must stay: desk, flooring, wall color.

Think about getting a corner desk height piece (try Ikea conigurations. or have piece/pieces cut at Home Depot and stained to match existing desk.) and a desktop on hairpin legs that goes across the window wall. Then place your computer on the corner piece so you can benefit from natural light. This may also free up space in the office for a nice office reading chair. Check out society6.com for fantastic graphic prints for very little money and do a trio of colorful, complementary, abstract prints. Ditch the fake plant but maybe hang a real one from the window frame if you get sunlight.
Here's a great office chair from Wayfair.
Chair below in orange on a swivel if you meet clients. Rest of the time use as a reading chair. Get a desktop lamp and an extendable sconce reading lamp for over the reading chair.

help taking home office from blah to functional style
Comments (10)I’d recommend the same thing however, I’d align the side of each desk with the windows (not next to the windows, just aligned with them) and place a long narrow table between them for shared resources, like printers, etc., if there’s room (or add a large table top over both desks, creating a shared centre area). I’d also suggest you add drapes that cover the wall space, between the windows and some beautiful art on the wall facing the entry. As much as a rug could be quite beautiful, I’m not a fan of rugs on top of rugs, particularly when your current rug is patterned and your chairs have to be able to slide in and out. Look for some very colourful art and drapes to address your sense of “blah”. Your room and furniture are so neutral, you could choose almost any colour you like....See MoreNew Office: Need Help with Decor and Organization
Comments (1)By the way, it's quite chilly in there year round...we all have space heaters! I'm thinking a French cottage feel with a lot of natural textures, green and botanicals would warm things up and go with the furniture which echoes wrought iron and distressed wood....See MoreWe could really use your help with our home office
Comments (30)An update for y’all: So, I wasn’t quite ready to pull the trigger on painting the entire room blue, but I did go ahead and have custom bookshelves built and installed, in the same shade of blue. I figured I could paint the rest of the room afterwards, if I wanted to. Here’s that wall, just finished — I’m elated. The shelves are fully adjustable, so I can remove one if I want to hang a piece of artwork there. I purposely did not want any drawers or cabinets, just shelves....See MoreOffice area - Layout help
Comments (6)We need a floorplan to be able to envision the space. From the pictures it looks like grand central station with all of the openings leading to different spaces. Is it really suitable for an office area? Is this for two people who work at home, or for children doing homework? I don't see a long wall that will lend itself to the treatment shown in your inspiration pictures. Were you planning on having custom cabinetry built or have you found pieces that will work together for the look you're interested in?...See More

last yearI love this photo that housegal200 posted. A task lamp is essential, and a gallery wall with a mix of personal photos and artwork is cozy and a great opportunity to inject your own personality into the space. It could be ever-changing so that you’re always engaged with it. Choose frames that are easy to replace images.
