Home Office Styling
It's not always easy switching off, and with many of us now balancing working from home, it’s important to create a calm, peaceful sanctuary to retreat to. Our styling tips are designed to help you create a bedroom that instantly transports you from whatever your day has been to something light and relaxing.
Define your Desk Space
The starting point should be a desk, and if you can, go large for this as you’ll be thankful for the desk top space. Our collection of desks blend character, function and form with a mix of materials. From sustainable mango wood to industrial iron, you're sure to find a design to suit your scheme. If a desk is beyond your budget or space allowance, then the kitchen table can work just as well. Avoid distractions by ensuring the table is completely clear of clutter. Placing a desk or table near a window or in a position with a view can really help your mood.
The clean, uncluttered aesthetic of this piece makes it a stylish fit for any living space: perfect in a home office, sitting room or bedroom where you need to create a multifunctional area.

Add Layers of Lighting
Lighting is an important part of your workspace; a desk lamp adds a classic study look and provides focused practical light. For the room itself, use natural materials to provide a soft light and calm aesthetic. Try our rattan and wicker lighting for an elegant natural glow.

Choose Seating that’s Comfortable and Stylish
A comfortable desk chair is key, but that needn’t mean compromising on style. Leather is well-suited to an office space; it has great character and style yet serves as a functional seat for long hours sat at the desk. For a lighter look choose a natural wood chair with generous cushions for comfort.

Define your Desk Space
Invest in practical storage to maximise space in your home office. Firstly, decide if you want fitted or free-standing storage pieces; fitted pieces can work well above a desk and make use of wall space, leaving plenty of room for your desk and chair. Free-standing storage is a quick solution and doesn’t require tools. A book shelf or sideboard are perfect for holding files and books, and can provide a table top space for plants and photo frames too, which adds a nice decorative touch to your work space.
