Clean Slate: Office Edition

Work is busy enough, who needs a cluttered and distracting space.  I am really into clean white lacquer furniture paired with chrome accessories.  Practical because they are easy to keep clean with wipeable surfaces.  It provides a clean, organized canvas on which to stack your piles and throw your coat. 

I also like the idea of mixing in some whimsical, yet work appropriate items that add some texture and personality.  What about that knotty piece of drift wood you brought back from last summers Nantucket venture up on a shelf ?

Think about occasional pieces, like the Ghost chair, which go away when you aren't using them, yet make a chic statement and are very useful when you do need them. I would recommend going with the arm chair because it is much more comfortable and substantial than the side chair.



A cushion can help make these chairs a bit more comfy and when only using a seat cushion it doesnt sacrifice much of the look.  It can be a great way to add a pop of color (in this case they kept it neutral) peeking out from below the table.  The Saarinen tables lines work so well paired with these chairs, that table is just SO versatile!



Love the subtlety of these.  I also like the juxtaposition of the lucite and the rustic wood table.



Typically seen in the dining room arena or as a side chair to a console, I like the idea of bringing the Ghost Chair into the office!

If you think about it most people spend more time (awake) at the office than they do in their own homes.  Isn't it important to make that space beautiful ,and be a space you look forward to spending time in? An organized and comfortable office makes me productive.  Don't underestimate how much your surroundings can affect you.   Make your surroundings beautiful!

Have a wonderful weekend!
