This room had to pull some serious double shifts (no pun intended). From the home office to the guest bedroom, this room needed to feel right for both purposes. I chose a very bright and airy look that feels inspiring yet relaxed. All while adding ample opportunity to have zoom meetings and coffee breaks.

I created three distinct areas. A cozy seating nook nestled between the windows, where either guests or the home-office owner can withdraw and relax. The office uses a slatted walnut wall for visual separation and a way to bring nature inside. And last but not least, the bed got grounded using the same warm walnut as the slats. I also anchored it with an arched wall bump-out, which doubles as a ledge for art and decor to be displayed.

And for a little hint of whimsy and fun (so none of this gets too serious), I added this large fabric chandelier which casts these beautiful soft shadows all around the room at night.
