My Home Office Plus a Boucle Chair Roundup

A lot of us are still working from home post-pandemic or have transitioned to remote work altogether. My work is obviously based out of our home + I do client work from the desk nook in our bedroom. While it does me good to get out of the house every once in awhile, I actually focus best while sitting at this desk, AirPods in and unlimited coffee awaiting me downstairs. Unfortunately this spot has been a bit neglected (as our bedroom is always on the back burner) and it has become a catchall for whatever I’m working on — not exactly the most inspiring place to work from.

I found this desk on Facebook Marketplace last summer and I love all the character and storage that it has. I hadn’t invested in a chair for this space and had been using whatever extra dining chair I had in storage. I personally like to cozy up in a comfy chair if I’m in for a long-days work at my computer so I ordered this modern, cozy chair from Zara Home and I love it. Super soft, not too bulky and the the perfect height for this desk.

I love being surrounded by lots of artwork and photos that are meaningful and inspiring to me while I work, so I grabbed the stack of frames I hadn’t found a place for and started hanging them until it felt right. I think this little corner is so pretty! But I have to admit, looking at this gives me the strong urge to paint the walls…!

If you also work from home, creating a space that’s pleasant to work in doesn’t have to be overly fussy. Start by:

  1. Giving the space a good clean & organize everything. Give every thing it’s own place until the clutter is cleared.
  2. Paint is magic. Paint the walls an inspiring color that speaks to you: do you enjoy bright, light spaces while you work? Or prefer moody and cozy? Lots of color or a neutral palette? Freshen up the paint on the walls and the space will feel instantly better.
  3. Hang a few pieces of artwork or photos that are meaningful to you! It’s a important to be surrounded by reminders of what and why we’re working hard at our professions.
  4. Add a lamp to your desk because ambient lighting trumps dingy, overhead lighting every time.
  5. Add scents: keep your favorite candle, reed diffuser or incense on your desk to keep the space smelling fresh while you put in long hours.
