Mid-Century Boho Office with a Reading Nook
Working from home doesn’t have to feel dull — imagine sitting at a vintage wooden desk, surrounded by warm tones and a bookcase full of your favorite reads. Add a patterned rug, framed art prints, and a few leafy plants, and suddenly your home office feels alive. The best part? A velvet armchair in the corne r creates a perfect little reading nook for those much-needed breaks.
How to achieve that vibe?
- Choose a mid-century style desk or chair in warm wood.
- Layer a patterned rug to add personality.
- Create a cozy nook with a plush armchair.
A Warm Red Study with Character
If you love a bold, cozy look, paint one wall in a rich, warm red. Place your desk and a comfy chair against it, and you instantly create a cocoon-like space. A framed photo — like one of Rome — adds character and makes the space feel personal. The black iron window frame not only brings in natural light but also adds an industrial twist to balance the warmth.
How to achieve that vibe?
- Use a warm, rich color (like terracotta or deep red) on one wall.
- Personalize with framed travel photos or artwork.
- Balance warmth with an industrial detail (iron frame, metal lamp, etc.).
Scandinavian Calm in Blue and Wood
For those who prefer a fresh, airy vibe, a Scandinavian-inspired office is a winner. Light blue walls make the room feel calm and open, while natural wood furniture keeps it grounded. Add a jute rug, simple framed botanical art, and a few green plants, and your space instantly feels peaceful. With sunlight streaming through the window, it becomes a spot where work feels a little lighter.
How to achieve that vibe?
- Paint the walls in a soft pastel shade like light blue.
- Keep furniture simple and natural (wood desk and chair).
- Use organic textures like a jute rug or linen curtains.
Wicker Desk with Golden-Brown Warmth
Sometimes, simplicity is all you need. A small wicker desk with a wooden chair by the window creates a calm corner for work or journaling. Golden-brown walls bring warmth and a timeless glow, while a single framed picture above the table adds elegance without clutter. Soft light fills the space, making it feel balanced and serene.
How to achieve that vibe?
- Use warm wall colors like golden-brown or ochre.
- Choose natural materials such as wicker and wood.
- Keep decoration minimal with one framed art piece.
Dramatic Elegance with William Morris Wallpaper
For those who love bold, artistic spaces, a dark home office with patterned wallpaper can be a true statement. Inspired by William Morris, with birds and rich colors, the wallpaper becomes the star of the room. Black wood furniture and a striking red chair complete the dramatic look, while a framed blackbird print ties the whole design together. It feels both luxurious and creative — the kind of space where ideas flow easily.
How to achieve that vibe?
- Choose a statement wallpaper with a nature-inspired motif.
- Pair dark wood furniture with a pop of bold color.
- Add art that echoes the wallpaper’s theme (birds, florals, patterns).
Pretty in Pink Vintage Office
If your heart leans toward soft and romantic design, a pink home office might be just the thing. With floral wallpaper, built-in cabinets, and a pink-upholstered desk chair, this space feels vintage and welcoming. Natural light streaming in highlights the warmth, while the pink tones create a cheerful, calming atmosphere perfect for both productivity and relaxation.
How to achieve that vibe?
- Experiment with a pink color palette, from soft blush to deeper rose.
- Mix floral wallpaper with simple wooden flooring.
- Choose vintage-inspired furniture with upholstered seating.
