Opulent Offices

Nothing is worse than being stuck in a boring, plain office that feels a little bit tired and mundane. There is no motivation to grit your teeth and work hard when your surroundings are lacking a little bit of inspiration. Why not update your home office this season and create an opulent office that is both sophisticated and elegant. Your office space should be a perfect balance of style and practicality and include all of the items you could need for your day to day work.

Modern offices

If you like clean lines and streamlined finishes then a modern office is perfect for you. These spaces can be minimal and still be opulent with hidden accessories, gadgets and furniture that gives your office a personal touch. Opt for crisp white and grey paint colours and team with a simple striped wallpaper for a modern interior look. Include high gloss furniture or glass furniture items that will create an open and illuminating feel as well as a sleek and stylish finish. A corner style desk is perfect for smaller rooms and allows you to free up the floor space within your office. Opt for chrome accessories such as stationery holders, files and folders and include a modern abstract clock on a main feature wall to create a statement within your room. A modern leather office chair will look wonderful in a minimal interior space; opt for grey or black leather upholstery for a sleek and sophisticated touch.

Masculine offices

Vintage and industrial offices are hot on trend this season and can be used to create a luxurious and stately feel in your home. Opt for cosy colour schemes featuring cream, red, orange and brown and include a retro vintage wallpaper on a main feature wall. Select industrial style furniture in chunky oak with rustic metal handles that will create a cosy and inviting feel within your office interior. A large and chunky desk can take centre stage within your office interior and include a selection of vintage desk accessories such as a table lamp for a sophisticated industrial finish. Include an industrial style office chair with exposed metal accents and a rich antique brown leather finish that can feature studding, button detailing and quilting effects for added visual detail. Include vintage items such as globes, maps and fountain pens that will give your office that regal and masculine touch.

Feminine offices

If the rest of your home is cute and girly then why not translate this look into your home office as well! There's no reason why your working space can't be equally as pretty as a rest of your home. Opt for delicate pastel and dusky tones such as pink, peach, mint and lemon and use to paint the interior of your home office. You could also include a gorgeous floral wallpaper with hints of metallics for a luxurious and opulent finish. Select a desk, chests of drawers and cabinets in a French carved, crisp white painted finish for an uplifting and illuminating feel. Include refined and chic items such as floral lamps, photo frames, artwork and a central chandelier for an added twist of opulence. Add a French style chair in a satin or velvet finish with chesterfield style button detailing.
