A peak into a fabulous home office dubbed as the “mom cave” filled with thrifty finds…

image

I finally caught up on some reads with online shelter mags and realized I been missing out on some office eye candy! I love a room that has an eclectic mix of styles and colors. One that has visual richness from the colors and textures. One that oozes femininity but still has masculine structured touches. And to have the beauty of ones heels on display? Yes ma’am…visualgasms for me.

Saudah Saleem of Saudah Saleem Interiors is very house proud. She decided she and her husband could function with a bedroom in a smaller room with just the bed and nightstands, allowing the master to convert into her closet/office/mom cave.

She didn’t want heaviness that a wooden desk would bring considering the bookshelves so she opted for a sawhorse desk with a glass top to keep if airy and allow you to see the beauty of the rug.

Her tips for creating a space that fits your needs is to start with assessing the room or area and determine the crucial functions. Next is determining what inspires you and the things that make you happy. Not to get caught up in the rules of design and instead make your own rules.

wpid-securedownload-4.jpeg

{Lonny} From abstract, geometric, chevron, trellis, houndstooth and floral designs, graphic rug or carpeting gives major impact to a room. Often times people design their whole color scheme around the hues within a rug. They help divide and separate zones … Continue reading 

Obsessions: Jazzy home office areas…

{designed by Paul Magnani}
Again, I never tire of seeing how people, real people spent their time getting things done. Some prefer more muted earth tones, some a clinical look, others streamlined with everything in it’s place and hidden, while some need to see everything in front of them, spread out on a desk, pinned to a board on the wall. Whatever the case, here are some tips on creating a functional workspace for you. First this above contemporary space is currently my wallpaper. I just love the contrast of the pink against the gray wall, the minimalistic approach that manages to keep some style. It’s not exactly what I’d go for but I love the look…

This office space right here is so girlie and fab…


I’m not even a pink fan like that but I do like the color when paired with black & white. This space reminds me so much of THIS interior. So many patterns keep it lively like the greek key on the dresser. I especially like the damask upholstered chair. This space seems like it’ll get your creative juices flowing and keep you energized. As much as I love my deep saturated dark tones and tons of black, a bright office area is what I’m gravitating to the most. I love it.

iWant: a Zebra bench…

{via Life Grace Blog}

Y’all know how much I love me some zebra prints and for me, it’s best when done in smaller increments. A zebra bench would be the perfect addition to my apt. Now talk about inspiring work spaces. This home office is quite lovely and the pops of colors is sure to ignite some energy. The arched bookcases, CHECKERBOARD marble floor & hot pink tufted wingback chair gets the thumbs up from me…

{designed by Jennifer Ferreira}

This bench serves double duty as a table. Design Tip: if you have limited room and need extra seating, you’re going to get an ottoman with enough cushion for comfort. But in order to have it function as a table, simply use Trays. They keep everything sturdy…

This velvet sofa screams “lounge on me”. Maybe iWant that too :-) .
