The accessories

Unless you are aiming for a minimalistic look, you should look to accessories to enhance your space and make it feel more personalised. Items like candles, trays, coasters and pencil pots can all add a pop of colour and interest to your office. Artwork is another great way to bring more character into the room. Consider curating your own gallery wall, mixing up prints of different styles and sizes for an ultra trendy look. Plants and greenery will also make a world of difference, bringing freshness and energy to the space (here are some of the best indoor plants for your office).

Functional accessories like rugs, lampshades and clocks will also bring style to the space. Don’t feel constrained to typical ‘office’ pieces in simple shades of grey. Wools, silks, wood and stone are all great options for accessories. You could also incorporate metallics for a luxurious touch.

The storage

Good storage is a must. These areas should serve you well, offering plenty of space for organising items and making them easily accessible. Most home offices are petite, so it’s vital that you use the space intelligently.

While your desk is an easy place to store paperwork, it will quickly become cluttered, making it hard for you to concentrate. Instead, limit your desk to a few key pieces and try to keep other ‘occasional’ office items organised in drawers and filing cabinets. Consider floating shelves for storing books and files. Modular storage systems will give you plenty of flexibility and can grow as you accumulate things. You could also use baskets for a more charming means of keeping papers in order.

The window dressing

Your window dressing choice should be influenced by a number of factors, including personal style, the size of your window and the location of your office. For instance, if your home office is located in the loft, roof blinds are an obvious choice. If the space is overlooked by passers by, the precise slat rotation of vertical blinds will be a big benefit. If you’re lucky enough to enjoy a lovely room, pick a blind or curtains that will frame this.

One of the most versatile window dressings for your home office is a Roman blind, which will bring warmth, softness and style along with excellent functional benefits, including privacy, light control and thermal efficiency.
