Home Office Inspiration
category: DécorWhen we purchased our house back in September, I was super excited that I would have my own Blush!nk office. I wanted to set it up so that maybe one day I could receive clients at home… well because, we all want to be able to have our own company and live off it (right?). I had big plans for my office… but that’s pretty much it. 5 months later, still nothing is done (well apart a turquoise painted room, and a white desk – from Ikea )
Now that I am pregnant, I really want to complete my office before the little one shows up. Problem… I have no clue how to set it up. Le Sigh.
Here are the colors of my website + blog and stationery
I wanted to print out my blog pattern as a wall paper to put on 1 wall… but dunno where I can get that done for cheap. I wanted to print my logo on a big canvas and frame it (in a white frame) so that it would pop against the turquoise wall… that hasn’t been done. And this doesn’t even include the countless boxes that are lying around on my office floor. (I would take a picture but… I don’t think you want to see it)
Here is some office inspiration to give you an idea of what I like :
Wall paper idea, I was talking about.
Love the shelving and color coordinated storage
Love the white elements against the sage green walls
Love the collage of vintage elements, frames and typography as wall decor
Now, to make things a little more complicated… I have a 6 foot Crystal tree and a vintage retro (1970s) sewing machine integrated in a desk in my office. I wanted to paint my sewing machine desk (in white) and cover the chair with fabric that I purchased for cheap. (but that’s not done either)
What I do have :
- Work Desk (White)
- Black Filing Cabinet
- Gray Desk Chair
- 1 gray painted bookshelf
- Curtains
- Large 23 x 40 White Frame (to frame logo)
What I need:
- White Wall Shelves + White Bookshelf
- Desk Storage
- Patterned Wallpaper
- Printed logo on Canvas
- 2 chairs (to put in front of my desk – for future clients)
- Wall Decoration
Any tips on how I can get this project rolling? I think the overwhelming of it all is throwing me back. But I want this done before baby comes. Egh. If you have a home office… did it take you forever to get it done?

I’m with you, I still have to finish my office as well! We can do it though!
There are places where you could get your logo printed as a wall decal, like the ones they do for wedding receptions. Or there are the places like uppercase living that you could do text at least on the walls.
Can’t wait to see the final office!
The fun wallpaper in the first picture kind of looks like the background of this blog! I love it! I’m really digging the functional and visually appealing white cubes on the walls too!
I am a big fan of your color scheme!! And I have been wanting to do something similar with my home office as well… turning my pattern into wallpaper and framing my logo. Still not done yet either!
Charlene…. thanks! but your office/craft space is to die for. So technically I am a bigger fan
I love your inspiration pics and colors! I can’t wait to see how your office will turn out
I’m really looking forward to make mine
The black and white is my favorite. So vintage, so chic. Love it!
oh, that second office is divine!
It took me a few months to get my office right where I wanted it and then my husband and I decided to move back to the city! It does take some time but don’t rush it. Find exactly what you need and what you like. You will spend a lot of time in there so it has to be great! BTW my office is black, white, and grey! Ebay is great, garage sales, and Overstock!
we have desk chairs at home that are made out of pinewood, pine seems to be a good wood for desk chairs~~.
