I knew I wanted to refresh my home office but it took me a while to decide how EXACTLY I was going to do that. I said goodbye to floating shelves and hello to built in’s! Oddly enough, now I have much more room to display my favorite home decor pieces AND still have enough desk space to work. This project was definitely about the little details. Keep scrolling to see the final product of my home office refresh!

I am loving these new accent chairs from AllModern! They’re soft and deep enough to cozy up with a good book. These are perfect for those moments when I need a break from my real office chair OR if I need to host a meeting! I am a firm believer that side tables are meant for more than coasters and photo frames. This textured vase and table clock are the perfect tabletop decor finds!

I love having all of this space to showcase my tried and true favorite home decor items. You can put so much personality and charm into a room simply by the decor pieces you choose. There is actually a little bit of a science to styling your shelves. It’s important to remember that sometimes less is more – don’t be afraid to use one item on a shelf!

See! Using one item on a shelf can have a big impact. Of course I focus on neutral toned items but it creates a cohesive look! Another tip when styling shelves, whether it’s built-in’s like mine or floating shelves, is utilizing different textures and height. You can use books to add a little height to your other decor pieces.

Isn’t this so satisfying? After having such limited space on these walls, I am SO excited for these built-ins! I opted for pieces of different tones and textures. Adding a touch of variety to a space can really make a difference. The white cabinets contrast beautifully with the wooden shelves!
