From traditional style, to farmhouse, to French-inspired, these 20 chic home offices will get you inspired to create one of your own!
I am so inspired by all the gorgeous offices I’ve been seeing lately! With so many of us working from home, it’s become almost a necessity to have a home office space. And even for those who don’t work at home, a home office space can play an essential role. Not only does it give you a space to organize paperwork, keep records, and pay bills, but it can often be used as a guest room as well.
My obsession started when we were turning our daughter’s room into a home office a couple of years ago, but I always love seeing how others have decorated them and organized them. It’s always fun to get new ideas!
So today I thought I’d share some of the most inspiring offices I’ve found. From French style, to more traditional, to modern and even transitional, these are all gorgeous!

So inspiring! I’ll take one of each!😉 My office has been in a half done state for quite sometime since we have had to remodel our cabin and get it on the market this summer. It’s hard to spin many plates at once!
I have a distressed wood built in original to our home. Since it is distressed…..has little “worm holes” and knots I’m wondering what type of paint is best. Should I go for the chalk paint lightly distressed look or paint it a latex paint with these original distressed? I dont see a lot of chalk paint distressing on built ins lately anymore. Your thoughts appreciated! Thanks, Sheila! PS: our cabin is under contract!!
Sheila says
Yay! I’m so glad you found them inspiring JC – and it sounds like the timing was perfect for you! As for your builtin, you didn’t say what paint is on it now or if you like it? I think you mean the overly distressed/sanded look and I agree, that isn’t used on builtins as much anymore. Personally I’d probably use regular, latex paint for a cleaner updated look. Just know that it’s hard to keep the knots from showing through. You need to use heavy primer, or you may even need a professional to spray lacquer to keep that from happening. Good luck!!

Beautiful office spaces!

Hello Shelia,
Thank you for this inspiration! I’d like to paint an old desk gray and I’m wondering what color you’d recommend?
Sheila says
How fun Teresa – I love how paint can give furniture a whole new life! I’m a big fan of chalk paint so I’d probably buy a couple of their greys and try them out. I used a mix of two colors when I painted my nightstands, a mix of Svenska Blue and Paris Grey. (you can see them in this post: https://maisondecinq.com/master-bedroom-makeover-reveal/). I also used just the Paris Grey when I painted the side tables in my family room.
Good luck!

Another great post- thank you! Right now, my “office” is a hand-me-down kid’s desk in the corner of the guest rom. My husband has his own private study and my kids are grown so I think it’s time that the lady of the house gets a room of her own. You’ve inspired me!
Sheila says
Thanks so much Linda! And yes, I’m in the same boat. There really is nothing like having your own office space to help with productivity, too, don’t you think? I wish you luck and hope you get to do one of your own soon! (Mine might be awhile!)
