Today I'm sharing with you another room in our house that we recently finished decorating: our half home office, half second guest bedroom.
There are two heroes in this room. One of them is this wall that we painted in Dulux Teal Facade from their "Travels in Colour" range (City Getaway). In this range Dulux did the hard work of putting a harmonious colour palette together for you. That's what I call easy peasy decorating!;)
The other hero is this beautiful oak desk from Furniture4yourhome. Now let me just say I never thought of ordering furniture online before. It really scared the poopie out of me but these guys made it plain sailing. They sent me extra photos of the desk I fell in love with. I asked their customer service person if the bottom shelf could be fixed higher up and they not only confirmed it,
but they also did it for me! The desk arrived a couple of weeks later through a delivery service I've never heard of before and to be honest it was a little slow considering the desk was in stock but hey! In the past I have had to wait for months with other suppliers for furniture to cross the ocean from the other side of the planet so two weeks is not a big deal.
We added some shelving above the desk for all those pretty things that make me smile everytime I enter the room and also for the ones that I need to have handy while doing some bloggy work up there.
The chair was a bargain I found online for only £28! (Insert big grin here).
Now I'll swiftly direct you to the other side of the room. The one with a guest bed (the bottom bit can come up to make a double bed) The whole office decor has been inspired by one of Destinology's holiday destinations: a New York loft look is what I was going for. This is the side of the room where the items that bring that decor style all live together.
I hope you enjoyed the visit and please let me know if I have missed anything that you'd like to know about!

I absolutely love that shade of blue which you have on the wall and the desk looks so sturdy x
ReplyDeleteOh this looks so dreamy. I love that teal colour on the wall and your desk is just to die for! xx
ReplyDeletesuch a beautiful room... the desk is right up my street
ReplyDeleteI love that desk, it's gorgeous, and the teal paint is just my cup of tea. I'd love an office area, but our office is being used as a larder! Whoever planned the house design didn't put one in which was a major error.
ReplyDeleteWow! That is one amazing work space you have created. I usually find myself perched on the sofa most days :(
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely tranquil room. I love the colour scheme - makes me think of summer by the sea and that desk is fab! Looks lovely and sturdy too
ReplyDeleteI love the look of this room, it is so relaxing. The colour on the walls is gorgeous and is a colour I never would have thought if. I also love all the little finishing touches in the room they really bring it all together well xx
ReplyDeleteOkay. Two things - I love your room and I LOVE your website!
ReplyDeleteVery glad to have found you, you have inspired me to finally tackle our spare room/office too.
Great post and pictures,

Love,love, love! Great colour combo and dual function. I adore the geometric stag head...#bloggershomes
ReplyDeleteWow, that desk looks so solid! I really can't wait to get our spare room/office organised so that we can actually use it! It's just full of 'stuff' at the moment. Will have to get that on the To Do list!
