Office Designs For The Work From Home Woman


Home office design has never been more relevant as stay-at-home careers are leading more and more American women to dedicate a room in their homes as an office. Home offices are more commonplace by the year, and today one in four American households have one. Having a home office, if you are a woman that works from your home, is no longer a luxury..... it’s a necessity and you owe it to yourself to set up a proper office space. A desk in the guest room or working on the dining room or kitchen table doesn't cut it anymore. Women should create a space to work in that is stylish, versatile, and reflects your personality so much that you just love being there. Be bold, make your home office interesting, and whether your style is traditional, shabby, or eclectic and artsy, you will be more productive in a space you enjoy!

I love the flair of an antique desk -- it adds character. The contemporary lamp and pop of purple on the floor keep this home office fresh.

Great idea for a bulletin board. Girls be creative and make your home office unique.

Ladies if you are in need of some furniture but do not have the budget for brand new stuff, you'll be amazed at the possibilities there are with used and older furniture. Checking out garage sales is a fun way to spend some of your weekend time and make your home office an eclectic, interesting space.

Colorful and chic, artwork and bold colors give shape to this home office design. The mirror wall doubles the space. This is a work room that any woman would welcome in her home.

If you are a woman that loves patterns and colors, you would be quite happy in this home office. Just be aware of the fact that an office is suppose to provide a place to be productive and not distracted so make sure you can work well in the environment.


If you like a vintage, feminine space, this home office would make you content and productive.


What female entrepreneur wouldn't love this perfect French style home office!!


When you have light walls, color accessories should be a part of the decor of your home office. Even your markers, pencils, books, and folders all pop off a white wall. 


Ladies artwork doesn't have to be relegated to the walls anymore. Your home office will be trendy if you just lean single pieces or groupings against a wall.

I like desks that extend out into the room, not just against a wall.  I love this home office....my style. This could definitely be my lady cave with the addition of a chaise lounge!

By all means make your office look like the woman you are ....it's a place where you need to feel comfortable.










Your home office doesn't have to be large and expensive. This one has an eclectic blend of  accessories. I love the nail head detailed bulletin board.

White is center stage in this sleek, modern home office design, perfect for the chic woman. The walls, furniture, even lamp and electronics all work together to create a blank canvas. Uncluttered spaces help creativity, though a splash of color as accent saves the space from becoming boring.




















Love this bright, cheery office!

A woman's home office doesn't always have to be super feminine. It can be modern and elegant like this one. Whatever design you choose it must however  be functional. Make sure you figure out what you need and want in the room before thinking about how the space will look.








Who says a traditional style home office can't be fun!!!! A pretty office for any work from home woman.

Don't forget that Lucite tables are trendy and will make your home office current and chic.












Lighting is a huge part of the success of an office so make sure you find the fixture that meets your needs. Also don't forget the need for plants in your home and your office.

Decorating With Turquoise




























Turquoise started trending in 2010 as Pantones Color of the Year and still has a legion of fans. Turquoise has always seemed deep and mysterious to me.....much like the sea I guess. But at the same time it is almost playful and can make any room seem lively and happy. Because it has both warm and cool undertones, turquoise can work with just about every other color. It looks great on it’s own or paired with other brights. Decorating with turquoise can be vibrant, unique, tranquil or radiant. You can decorate with turquoise in classic and traditional areas or modern-day, contemporary rooms. And there are so many lovely shades and intensities to choose from ranging from the softer aquamarine, duck egg side to the deeper more powerful shades.







This blog post will be focusing on the vibrant side of turquoise and whether you choose to totally saturate your interior or only accent one wall, true turquoise is a real attention getter so be sure to exercise caution.




















Turquoise has a fresh and energetic quality that definitely says welcome.
























I love the way turquoise suggests old world antiquity as well as a fresh modern approach to decorating.

Turquoise trellis design wallpaper makes a great statement in this lovely living room. The carpet looks like an extension of the outside aquatic view.
















This is just quirky enough for me to like!!! Using a bright and bold color with elegance is all about balance. Try and repeat turquoise in several places so as to achieve a sense of balance.

Paint your walls turquoise if your furniture is neutral or if you want to make a huge impact in the room.


















There are many ways to accent with turquoise. Through chandeliers,
















pretty patterned turquoise pillows, and paper,















lamps, or other accessories...........
