Stylish Notes From Feminine Home Offices to Love
Pretty, and maybe a little bit frou-frou, these home offices will inspire you to work
Whether you have client meetings at home, run a small business or just need a place to sort the household bills and kids’ homework, a workspace is a must-have for multitaskers. But if you have to work at a drab utilitarian desk, seated on a ‘worky’ office chair, the pleasure of working from home can become a bane.
In this dynamic home office, a hallway console becomes a workspace for light tasks without looking out of place. Energetically coloured prints are versatile as they can be swapped for more sombre colours when the mood strikes.
Placing your home office in the living space requires great discipline (clutter has no place here at all times!), hidden storage for office paraphernalia, and wow-looking furniture. This high-gloss, chrome desk matches the console in terms of materials while the rug helps to define the floating workspace. Acrylic cleverly adds old-world glam while taking up no visual space at all!
Fear not if you’re stuck with a plain-vanilla white office desk. The key is to use shots of vivid colours and use patterns fearlessly. Here, the rug provides the colour palatte for bold hues, and fun embellishments bring out the personality.
Don’t let heavy, dark wood furniture drag you down the masculine design path! Bend the rules and choose dusty pink wall colour and Barbie-pink soft furnishings. And don’t be shy about displaying those ‘girly’ knick knacks and ornaments. With such a lot to look at, no one will even notice the boring black leather office chair.
A larger-than-life decal brings softness and femininity to this sleek home office. The purple walls display confidence and power, and speak volumes about someone who isn’t afraid to take on challenges.
Working on crayon bright furniture is nothing but pleasure! Here, the eye-popping pieces are paired with offbeat lizard-patterned wallpaper and Indian-inspired upholstery – a surefire way to lift the nine-to-five grind.
A nook is all you need to slip in a simple and discrete office space. The girly factor here comes from a botanical wallpaper. If you only do occasional work here, a chair borrowed from the dining room makes good sense.

If your workspace is in the bedroom, choose a glamorous desk that doubles as a dressing table. A mirrored table is a good solution as it doesn’t add clutter – the reflective surface makes the piece recede. A slipper chair makes for a comfortable and elegant seating option.
So you’ve got blah-neutral cabinets to work with. A boldly patterned wallpaper and pops of colour will help lift the space out of the doldrums.

Add instant glam to a plain desk by updating the hardware. These acrylic and chrome pulls are small but exude loads of sophistication.
Give the office supplies shop a miss and head into homeware shops instead for beautiful yet functional ways to keep files, stationery and notebooks in check. Here, vintage-look labels are simply tied on for effortless chic.
