Ideas for enhancing your home office

And so it goes…working from home is now a part of so many Canadians’ lives. If a functional workspace is the key to a productive day, maybe a stylishly decorated one can increase productivity even more! Industrial, rustic, playful or glam, these inspiring rooms offer ideas for enhancing your own home office.

industrial

Tucked into the corner of a room, the style of this office nook is bold yet relaxed. A white-painted brick wall provides a bright, textural backdrop for the dark-toned furniture, while the woven storage baskets bring in a bit of natural patina that lends the space even more dimension.

Layered rugs, a weathered storage crate, leather chair and earthy table lamp are the perfect accessories to pair with a deep chestnut-hued wood desk. The room’s clean lines and calming vibe keep this workspace warm and inviting.

playful

Fun and fresh, this workspace feels bright and colourful, perfect for sparking creativity. Hits of blue and yellow and the use of light wood finishes take the relaxed, urban-scandi look up a notch.
