When I design a room for a client, I often use a rug as a starting point. Let’s take a look at this farmhouse styled office and my design tips for rugs.
First of all, my client is moving into a new home. The home itself is not new, but new to them. This space is one of the first rooms that you see when you enter the home. It’s open to the entry and dining room and has a large window to let in lots of natural light.
My client likes farmhouse style, neutrals, and the color blue. She works from home a few days during the week and needs a space for her computer. She doesn’t have a need for much office storage, however, since this room is connected to the dining room and entry, it needs look beautiful and pulled together. Here is my solution.
This rug is my starting point, as well as my base layer. It consists of navy blue, cream and gray. From here I used these colors for selecting the other items for the room. The cream drapes with navy blue stripes, the cream upholstered bench and office chair, and the blue flowers in the artwork all tie back to the rug. The materials and finishes of the desk, bookcases and lighting give the room that farmhouse feel.
