Hi Guys! Hope you are all doing well and staying safe. If you saw my first blog post, I wrote about 6 essential tips in setting up your home office. If you didn’t catch it, you can check it HERE.

Today, as promised, I wanted to highlight some of my own personal favorite pieces. Sadly, my home office is currently under construction (or more truthfully stalled due to many reasons! sighhhh), but IF I could set it up, I imagine you could find a few of these following items in there!

I break down exactly why I chose some of the major pieces that I do. Take a closer look at my selections below and let me know what you think!

Simply put, I love the angles and straight lines of this desk. But it is not only a thing of beauty, it is also functional with cable management and a center drawer that flips down for a keyboard. Anything that can help me hide away clutter, is amazing. As for the chair, although there are plenty of ‘prettier’ pull-up chairs out there (I’m looking at YOU), I wanted to make sure comfort and function were my primary targets, since I’ll potentially be spending hours here (even post pandemic). Having casters and arm rests are both helpful ergonomically and functionally. I bring in warmth via some of the warmer tones as well as the textures in the room, especially the rug. Again, I opted for simple, straight lines, and as a bonus, it is an indoor/outdoor rug that will help keep wear and tear down. I also wanted to bring in some dark tones to play off the warmth in the room. The MC black metal sconce not only helps me build contrast in the space, but functionally it provides me task lighting all the while keeping my desk clutter free! Win, win.

Ultimately, I wanted to create a space that was clean, minimal yet warm. And if I’m spending all day in there, it has to be functional and comfortable. I talk about how important color is in my previous post, and I wouldn’t dare create a space without some splashes of color! I bring those in with whimsical artwork and of course, via plants. I may have ‘splurged’ a bit on some pieces here, but hey, a girl can dream can’t she? Ha.

Thanks for reading and if you have any questions on how to set up your own home office, I’d be happy to help. As always, I’d love to hear from you! Oh, and don’t forget to subscribe HERE.
