Fun patterned textiles, custom-designed furnishings and unique accessories come together to create this eclectic and contemporary home office for the lady of the house. Wood finishes that are present in the public areas of the house are repeated here, but the juxtaposition between the light vs. dark wood stains and the sleek vs. rustic wood finishes create an inspiring and interesting space that lends itself to completing creative work. The custom solid-wood furniture pieces provide ample storage that will also conceal unsightly office supplies and paperwork. Original works of art are highlighted through customized framing and unique collectables are displayed in a fun and simple way. Thanks to the futon sofa, this home office can double as a last-minute guest room for visitors. Photos by Oliver Wolfe Photography
