I know exactly what I want my office to look like when I'm old enough to own a house (and have enough money to fulfill my wildest office dreams.) Now the word 'office' really does not do what I have in mind justice. What I am imagining is more of a stationery/book heaven.
Picture this if you will:
A room that is longer than it is wide, but not too big. It is painted white all over with light wooden floors and a big window at the other end (possibly with a window seat with blue and white cushions?) Bookshelves span from the roof to floor on the entire left side of the room and there is one of those awesome ladders to reach the books on the upper shelves. On the other side there is a white kikki.K trestle table (you were wondering when kikki.K was going to come into it, weren't you!) and there are a couple of shelves with no sides above it for some blue storage boxes, folders and magazine holders. The desk is beautifully arranged with kikki.K stationery and I have a wooden chair to sit at the desk with as well as a wicker armchair in the room. Oh, and there will always be flowers on my desk! Doesn't it sound amazing?? Admittedly it does sound a wee bit selfish, but I think everybody needs their own little space to be surrounded by things that make them happy.
This desk is so gorgeous and I love the look of the white wood (maybe not on the floor though- pretty, but imagine how grubby it would get!) I also think the chair is very cute, looks like a vintage version of a swivel chair! (This image is courtesy of http://www.homeofficedesignblog.com/)
Ahhh! Is this not the cutest little desk space you have ever seen?! I love the personal touches this person has added to make this desk truly their own! (Image courtesy of http://bastienbeauty.wordpress.com/)
I think the best desks/ office spaces are those that manage to look like somebody actually owns them, with cute touches that distinguish them from any other ordinary office, but still manage to make the room look clutter-free, neat and bright. I can't wait to design my own!
