Guest Picks: Sweet Office Space
I devote a ton of time working in my home office, more time than most nine-to-fivers spend at work. So it only makes sense that I surround myself with furnishings and decor that I love and feel inspired by. A tiny bit of femininity and a touch of simplicity is the best recipe for my dream office area. — Rhiannon from Gorgeous Events
Parsons Mirror Desk | West Elm – $599
Perhaps it’s a bloggers’ thing, but the Parsons desk from West Elm is a coveted bit by all. The clean lines and glossy finish make this table a basic for any workplace.
Urban Outfitters
Gramercy Sofa, Pewter – $779
I have this sofa in my office at this time, and while it is not the most comfortable space to sit, it sure looks fab with some throw pillows tossed on there.
Anthropologie
Watercolor Peony Wallpaper – $148
If wallpaper wasn’t such a pain to remove, I’d totally cover my entire area within this fabulous wallpaper. The floral print is really dreamy and tender.
Penny farthing design house
Make History – AUD 595
I just discovered Penny Farthing’s designs, and I can’t wait to get my hands on this “Make History” typography printing. It is way rad.
Furbish
Caneel Bay Bar Cart , Turquoise – $800
I love having a small drink station in my own office to house beverages and small snacks for people who visit. This Caneel Bay pub cart is the prettiest colour of minty blue.
Transitional Armchairs And Accent Chairs – $1,299
When I had a money tree at the back yard, I’d have two of these gorgeous chairs in my office. I’m a sucker for your wingback design of the Z Gallerie accent chair.
Anthropologie
Illume Boulangerie Jar, Coconut Macaroon – $16
My work days always look somewhat sweeter when I have a yummy candle burning onto my desk. Anthropologie’s Coconut Macaroon candle is my customary go-to.
Contemporary Console Tables – $599
I have fallen in love — with this Z Gallerie console desk. I’d give up my desk just to have this awesome announcement piece in my workplace!
Caitlin Wilson Textiles
Pink City Maze Pillowcase – $60
I am a huge fan of Caitlin Wilson’s cushions, and this Pink City Maze Pillow is one of my favourite patterns. Hopefully it’ll be back in inventory ASAP.
Pottery Barn
Twig Display Method – $99
Having photographs of my work exhibited in my office is so important, contemplating how visual my field is. I really like how exceptional this Pottery Barn framing system is.
Contemporary Bulletin Boards And Chalkboards – $299.95
I am now debating over whether or not I’d like that a chalkboard wall in my office, so this framed board is the best, and safest, path to take for now. To-do lists and inspirational quotations will look perfect drawn on this particular chalkboard.
Overstock.com
Canali Crystal Clear Molded Polycarbonate Side Chair – $274.99
I have always wanted a Lucite chair to sit behind my desk. This set of two from Overstock comes at a cost that can’t be beat!
Williams-Sonoma
Personalized Vintage Glass Candles – $68
I put out fresh flowers on my desk. But putting those blooms in a vase ended off with my company initials would be the cherry on top.
Contemporary Area Rugs – $249.95
A gray and white zebra rug now sits in my workplace, but I’d really like to update to the dhurrie rug from Z Gallerie. It is chic yet bright enough that it won’t take over the whole room.
Pottery Barn
Holman Ledge, 4′, Unfinished – $65
I love the look of a ledge like this for displaying books and magazines. Sometimes a room is too small for a coffee table, and a ledge is the best answer.
Furbish
Maharani Chandelier – $3,200
If I did not have a pretty fancy Lucite chandelier hanging from my ceiling already, I’d snag this up pink Maharani chandelier. It is so quirky and enjoyable!
Spoonflower
White Anemones Fabric by Patty Sloniger – $17.50
Words can’t accurately describe how much I adore this fabric from Spoonflower. Anemones are among my favourite flowers, and I am excited about hanging my custom curtains made out of the print sometime soon.
Anthropologie
Oversize Zinc Letters – $98
While I get the guts to fork over the cash for all these letters, I’d really like to find an “H”, “G” and “E” to hang on my office wall. I am a huge fan of outsized typography, and the zinc finish on these letters is industrial-looking and so chic.
Anthropologie
Rosy Knob – $6
Pink is a huge portion of my company’s branding, but it can be tricky finding that balance between too much pink and just the correct amount in my office decor. These knobs are the ideal way to bring a pop of pink into any area. Pop a few onto your cupboard doors and voila!
IKEA
LIATORP Glass-Door Cabinet – $369
It is always a challenge looking for practical and attractive ways to put away my craft materials. Leave it to Ikea to develop for this glass-door cabinet that would be just ideal to perform the honors.
