Here’s a little inspiration for offices. Since home offices are such a hot commodity, we wanted to show the décor possibilities of an office. And why stop there?   These ideas are easily transferrable to when you are ready to move back to the corporate building and you can create your own decorative space with more than stacks of papers and files!

Another inspiration post for those of us who have been in our homes too long and are ready to refresh our space, but maybe don’t know where to get started.

This post will be focusing on 10 home office spaces we at Sanctuary Staging have staged.  Enjoy!

#1:  This desk has enough space for your computer or to take notes, but brings in more personality with décor to your left and a lamp on your right.

#2:  This office in Upper Arlington had a masculine, woodsy tone, so naturally we brought in a wood statue piece with greenery and a gold globe. Additional shelving in the background was filled with dark books and pieces to bring the space together.

#3:  Subtle green walls were the inspiration to find the perfect pieces to match for the desk. We brought in a dark desk to play off of the home’s woodwork, and greenery to tie in with the green walls. We brought in texture with the bird décor, a vase to coordinate with the art piece, and a desk lamp to make this office shine.

#4:  How about an antique phone for some unique décor? Greenery, a small décor piece, such as the ampersand piece, and books with reading glasses on top are always perfect finishing touches in an office.  We like to bring in the old to coordinate with the new here at Sanctuary Staging.

#5:  Something we consider when staging is the items that convey with the house, and normally window treatments are part of what stays. In this case, the valances were navy blue, and we knew of the perfect furniture and accessories that belonged in the space. We brought in our prop laptop with a few accessories to create an inviting space.

#6:  We transformed a front bedroom into a home office, complete with accent chairs and a large world map canvas. Since home offices are such a hot commodity, we wanted to show off the versatility of this space.

#7:  Our slanted shelves made an appearance in this flex space, and an added bonus: this space overlooked a side deck, perfect for a few daily breaks from work.

#8:  If you just don’t have the designated office space in your home, here’s another option: try it out in your owner’s bedroom or a guest bedroom! This way it’s away from the busy traffic areas, like the kitchen and living room, so you can get some piece and quiet during the day.

We try to show off multiple desk spaces for remote work and e-learning in our stages, because so many of us are working from home nowadays.  And we like stages to be as realistic as possible for potential buyers.

In this photo, a cozy guest bedroom with soft mint-green accents makes this the ultimate space for visitors, complete with a planning desk.

#9:   We were just meant to stage this home and office because we had the PERFECT desk in our inventory to match the built-ins. Greenery, books, antique cameras and vases all came together in this Powell home office.

#10:  A calendar to keep track of what day it is (admittedly necessary some days!), plus the textures from the lamp, vase and greenery make this a perfect planning desk. Simple yet eye-catching décor in this Lewis Center home.
