I’ve been on a bit of a design board kick lately. They are so much fun to create! I decided one night to create a board that represents my dream office, and as I was searching the internet, Brad told me he wanted one too! Apparently our dream house will have enough room for Brad and I to have our own office spaces! So I set off to work, first by asking him questions on how he envisioned the space, and then searching for some inspiration online. Brad wanted a room where he could sit at his desk and get some work accomplished, but once finished, he could move to a spot where he would be able to relax and “listen to music or watch a movie.” On the other hand, I wanted a professional space where I could meet with clients and work on writing for the blog. After both design boards were complete, all I could do was laugh. They could not be more different! Here is Brad's dream office...
Brad’s office has a monotone color scheme; earth tones are very relaxing for him, so I added in punches of color through fabrics that will be used as window treatments and accent pillows (you know how I love a good patterned window treatment).
We both decided to add some great visual interest by lining the back of the bookcase with fabric as well! I picked the art above the desk both to add another burst of color as well as to create a calm, peaceful feeling in the room.
Brad enjoys furniture with clean, modern lines, so I chose various textures (wood, metal, wicker, upholstery) to make the space feel warm and inviting.
Here’s a run down of the sources used in Brad’s office.

The color scheme in my office was inspired by the art which is full of color; I love combining blues and greens.
I also wanted the space to have a sophisticated look, so I added the gray geometric rug.
I chose a streamlined desk that can function as a space to sit and talk with clients as well as keep the look of the room clean and uncluttered. I added a file console to integrate function and organization to the office. The fabrics will be incorporated into the room as window treatments, an accent pillow, and a DIY message board. Using turquoise accents throughout the room helps to unify the space and adds a burst of life without being too overwhelming.

These design boards were a lot of fun to make. I enjoy how they reflect mine and Brad’s personalities!
I hope you enjoyed them as well!
