Piggy backing off of Monday’s spring home essentials post, this week’s Decorate by Number is a cheery home office that is sure to brighten your day at work! Visit my blog A Vintage Splendor for more inspiration.
Similar to some other rooms we’ve seen and loved before, the color palette in this space is simple with the right amount of pop. The yellow chair and mint blue ottoman don’t overwhelm the space; instead, they help liven the office and add a little bit of warmth. This is very important when decorating a space for work. Can you imagine trying to work in a white box? It’s not going to be pleasant and that’s why minimal use of color is a good idea.
Another reason the space works is because of the proportions. The desk/table is minimalist with thin legs and sans drawers, while the cabinet behind desk anchors the space with some weight. If you pay attention closely, you’ll see this set up doesn’t take up a lot of space so this is a great option if you’re tight on space.
My favorite piece in this room can’t be found online, but you can find it at your local thrift store with some shopping. The gold sculpture on the wall looks vintage and it definitely frames the space and adds a bit of drama, too. I found these fun floral sculptures that can give you a more modern effect (Target has a similar one, too!). But if you’re lusting after a large decorative sculpture, visit your local thrift store and you will find a piece like this. It may take a few trips, but once you find it you will be jumping for joy (I call it the thrill of the thrift).
I’ve found other pieces to help you achieve this beautiful office (yellow chair included!):
1. Tufted Ottoman $59.99
2. Two Door Cabinet $199.99
3. Yellow Office Chair $50.88
4. Jute Rug $39.99
5. Pattern Lamp $49.99
6. Wall Sculpture $27
7. White Table $65.00
