I recently landed a new E-Design project (a service which I will officially launch in two weeks), developing a design plan for a home office.
The client wants to work with teal and yellow as the color foundation for the space. The design style will be traditional with a touch of whimsy.
As with all projects I work on, I first look for inspiration to serve as the “jumping off” point for the design plan. I look through my photo files, magazines and on-line. I walk through fabric stores, flip through vendor catalogs, and for home office projects, I take a spin through the Container Store.
Here’s a look at some of the inspiration images I’m working with…
I don’t know what other colors I’ll add to the teal and yellow color story, but I really like the idea of a natural linen.
Traditional, whimsical and really pretty.
I love this office space but want something with a bit more punch. I really think the rug needs to be more colorful.
Love the idea of a retro desk lamp!
Pretty upholstered chair…the question is, Yellow or Teal?
I love bold lighting, especially in an office.
The idea of teal bookcases is appealing to me. And, I love oversized bulletin boards in a home office space.
A white desk is definitely in the plans.
Classic styling with a whimsical rug. I love a touch of animal print in every space.
How about painting the back side of the door teal?
I’ll definitely throw in some yellow desk accessories to add a bit of fun.
I’ll be working on the design plan and concept boards over the next few weeks, and will be sure to show you the finished plan.
Do you have a favorite color theme for a home office? Share you ideas!

I enjoy color as well. I try to stay away from the traditional black, brown, and white office space. I really like the teal office maybe ill give it a try this year!
Call me crazy but is teal and turquoise suddenly the “it” colors? I have been seeing it everywhere and I’m lovin’ it. Your post today is just scrumptous, maybe I should think about creating my own space.
Hi Vicky,
I’m glad you enjoyed this post and were inspired. I typically love darker colors but turquoise is moving up on my “favorite color list”. Happy Decorating.
