How to Create a Colorful and Eclectic Home Office

There are many ways to tackle the design of a home office.  You could set up the standard desk with a few cabinets and a bookshelf perhaps, or you could create a space that is uniquely yours and shines with personality.  Let’s explore home offices that are brimming with style and learn tips on how to create a colorful and eclectic home office that is anything but boring.

Paint the walls a rich color and add bright accents that give the home office a stand-out quality.  Paint can transform a room and set the stage for your furniture and accessories.

Add vivid patterns at the windows and on the floor to enliven the home office.  Choose unique accent furniture that will stand out stylishly and be functional.

Accent the office with pops of color that will inspire and lend a bit of personality to the space.  This is as easy as adding a few colorful accessories, hanging bright curtain panels or including painted furniture in the room.

Treasured antique pieces, such as a beautiful desk, instantly elevate the home office.  Choose accessories that are unique and tell a story.

A soft color can be accented with vivid pattern in a contrasting color to provide interest and to ground the space.  Try out an animal print rug for a flash of chic character.

Set your desk at an angle to give you an overall view of the room.  Accent the office with treasures from your travels to remind you of good times and inspire your work.

Outfit your home office with shelving that allows the display of interesting objects.  Sometimes, those items that you don’t have a place for elsewhere can find a new home in your eclectic office.  If you are in the field of creative arts and use your home office as a work space, these items can prove to be quite the inspiration for your work.

Lavish your space with touches of glamour with wallpaper, silk window treatments, opulent furniture and lustrous fabrics.

A bold painting does wonders to infuse character and color into a space.  Set against a dark painted wall with white trim, a bold painting stands out and becomes a focal point.  Luster or metallic finishes on furniture create an interesting layer to the design.

Merge different styles of furniture and add personal touches that speak to your personality and interests.  This sets the tone for a more eclectic home office.

Let color inspire you to design freely and more outside the box.  Choose a bright color for the walls and enhance that with wood tones and complementary colors in textiles and accessories.

Mix patterns for a rich palette and layered design.  Mix geometrics with floral and bring out certain colors with the addition of painted furniture and even flowering plants.

Vintage accents and modern art work well together to create a space brimming with character.

Create a colorful and eclectic home office that speaks of your personality and interests.  Add pieces that tell a story and gather inspiration from those for your work.  Mix different styles of design for a fun and unique space.  Overall, your home office should be a space where you are free to create and organize.  It can also be an inspiring place and one that is full of unique style.
