Mood Board: Home Office

One of my favorite parts of design is coming up with a "mood" or inspiration board for the client. This helps them to visualize the space and the options are unlimited! Well sometimes I like to make these for myself as well. Check out this post for more inspiration on Home Offices!

I am always really excited when I find other Interior Design blogs but what is more exciting is a link-up for designers. Beth from Design Your Dwelling is starting a link-up for mood boards and so I am joining in! 

This mood board is what I would LOVE my future home office to look like. I love blues and greens and these to me are the perfect shades. I think the citron gives it some warmth as well. Would you want your office to look like this? What do you think are essentials to a home office?

If you would like a mood board for you space, let me know and we can work something out for you...and who knows it could end up on the blog!

A few other things:

1) I signed up for a Bigs and Littles blogging network. I was paired up with Sara @ You and Me are We. Go check out her blog asap :) Learned so much from her already.

2) I'm going to be experimenting with my blog design so I apologize if the site is temporarily down. Also, if you know of an affordable custom design, PLEASE send it my way!

3) I set up Passionfruit ads! My sidebar was getting pretty messy, but so far I really like it! So check out my new Sponsor tab. Currently all of my ads are free so if you have a similar blog style I would love to have you!

  7. Hey! I love the colors of the office. I have the Expedit (actually two) in my craft room, and I couldn't be happier with them. http://timanddory.wordpress.com/2012/12/27/my-craft-roomoffice/ By the way, if you get an affordable custom design, please pass it along. I'm looking for one for my blog as well.

  14. :D I am one proud mama!

    On another note, I'm pretty much in love with that lamp you posted. Our guest room is a teal/seafoamy color and I think I need to add a pretty glass lamp like that!

    I think you should design for my living room - it's a disaster design-wise!

  21. You have good office design ideas. Mood boards are definitely useful when it comes to interior decorating, and white or steel furniture can make things look clean and tidy. When put together in a room, your ideas will make one elegant office space.
