House Tour: Home Office

Full Source List at End of Post!

Our home office is one of my favorite rooms in our home – a light-filled, yet warm and cozy place to knock some serious work out!

Home office with charcoal gray walls and eclectic gallery wall above a credenza

Here’s what we started with when we first moved into our house – I wasn’t crazy about the wall color but we were lucky to have these nice built-in bookcases to work with:

I painted the room a dark charcoal gray (Benjamin Moore Nightfall) and freshened the built-ins up with new coat of paint and added our TV and accessories along with a DIY linen skirt to hide the cord clutter underneath the desk area.

It’s now the home of our new gallery wall! Check out the details of our gallery wall and tips for creating your own {here}.
Eclectic gallery wall that's a fun mix of art print, mirrors, and unique wall art

I also added new drapes hung on acrylic and brass drapery rods (you can read more about the drapery rods {here}:

And we just recently added a new wingback desk chair:
