Decorate by Number: Mint and Yellow Office


Spring office inspiration

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.

My affinity for tranquil and monochrome bedrooms has been well documented here, but I can’t seem to get enough of spaces that exude that feeling of calm we all crave at home. This bedroom’s eclectic decor creates a sense of ease and relaxation within a beautiful white rustic space. It's a nice departure from the more bohemian or super vibrant eclectic rooms that are trending right now, yet still offers enough variety so as not to be boring.
