Swapping heavy finishes and awkward color blocks for a calm, light-filled workspace.
The before

This room originally served as a secondary living space

Dominated by a heavy blue board-and-batten accent wall, contrasting beige walls, and honey-oak trim, the room felt visually lopsided.

The space benefited from two entry points: large pocket doors off the main entry wall and a second door leading to a small side hall. These dual openings gave the space an airy, open feel while offering sightlines directly into the entry, dining, and living areas.

A creative sanctuary that inspires my work

This has easily become my favorite room in the house for morning coffee and quiet creative time. After experimenting with a moodier color palette, I ultimately kept this room light and bright. To anchor the room, I added a botanical-patterned wool rug, pleated drapery for warmth, and a light oak desk with a matching, styled bookshelf. I’m still hunting to find the perfect wall art to pull it all together.
