How Do You Decorate A Home Office In Cottage Style?
The cottage style gives a light, bright atmosphere to a home office. And because the style includes genteel, homey and often secondhand furnishings, the room will be a comfy place to work. Find a light-colored, traditional-style desk, possibly with a painted or stained finish (antique finishes work well). Options include white painted wicker, an unfinished piece, secretary style, or an old-style kitchen table with a keyboard tray added. Mate the desk with a comfortable chair. Spindle-back designs are popular for cottage-style decor, but for long stints at the computer, a padded, adjustable and more commercial-style chair may work best. Use a vintage-style slipcover (pillow-tick stripe or gingham check) that blends with the rest of the office. Find a desk lamp that provides the proper lighting. A traditional banker’s lamp or brass pharmacy lamp may work well. Stash files in trompe l’oeil file cabinets or baskets. Consider painting or wallpapering a typical metal file cabinet. Stow books
