Now that more of my time has been spent working from home, I’ve been trying to put together the perfect space for a home office. And by space I mean the three feet of wall space in my living room with which I replaced my TV console. Yup, I said goodbye to the TV for now in hopes of being more productive (although Friends may or may not be playing on Netflix in the background as I write this…). So as I start to get some inspiration for my little makeshift “home office”, I’ve rounded up a few goodies to create a stress-free and inspiring nook that will hopefully lead to many more blog posts.
In my last apartment, I went for a white and gold desk with bright, colorful accessories. This time around, I’m going for a more rustic look with a wood & metal desk (this one from Target is super affordable). I love having color around me to get me inspired (hence the bright green couch), so I’m seriously craving one of these filing cabinets. Add some soft pastels and a little plant to bring some life to the space. Take a look at some of the pieces I’m craving below.

Loving that pencil holder! And the blue filing cabinet. So much fun. I need to set up an office space in my bedroom, as my current one is too chaotic in my living room, and I could use the quietness of a closed door. Of course, I have four children, which makes a difference.

I was so looking forward to this post since you mentioned it on Instagram. and I love your working place … subtle and inspiring. the desk you linked is lovely and way more affordable than the once from that danish label “home doctor” I eyed on!
… and watching Friends in the backround does not count, I’m pretty sure you’re able to rhyme it off ;)

Great read and love your style. Good on your for swapping the tv for your home office space!
I just had a new desk delivered on the weekend and in the process of turning the spare bedroom into a home office.
