Traditional Country Office
Whether or not you actually live on a sprawling country estate, you can feel like you do in a home office with a traditional country aesthetic. You know the style: stately and posh with pastoral charm. We love the look because it feels warm, elegant, and academic. Even if the rest of your house is contemporary or eclectic, traditional country can still work in your office. You’ll feel like you’re walking into a grand library every time you sit down to do work.

Accessories & DecorOf course, you need more than a desk and bookshelves to get work done. Avoid cluttering up your space and look instead for a simple leather desk set, beautiful letter trays, and a stately holder for your pens and pencils. Pay homage to your hobbies in here as well; old telescopes, golf paraphernalia, classic books, and hunting trophies can all find a home here. Bring in nature with dog and deer bookends and natural wood picture frames. And to be stately and important you must, of course, own a brass letter opener (in case you still receive snail mail).
FurnitureIt’s easy to spot traditional furniture; it’s big, dark, and heavy. Look for towering bookshelves, lots of leather, and masculine inspired pieces. We love tufted ottomans, comfortable chaise lounges, cocktail tables for casual meetings, and high-back chairs with an air of importance. To create the country feel, add in a few more rustic feeling pieces—choose solid reclaimed wood over weathered or whitewashed. Our two must-haves? A standing globe for that studious vibe and a rolling bar cart in case you have a hankering for whiskey.
