Bright, Bohemian-Inspired Home Office + Den

Mint-green walls, fire-engine-red upholstery and a collection of relics create a home office and den fit for a bohemian world traveler.

The 12' x 13' space is divided into three zones: a reading lounge, workstation and water closet. To unite the water closet with the two zones in the adjacent room, its walls are painted the same shade of mint green.

Known for her eclectic style, the homeowner’s workstation is designed with a classic, transitional desk, a rustic desk chair with bold-colored upholstery, Asian art and a mercury-glass lamp. For a touch of farmhouse style, the lamp is topped with a burlap drum shade.

Since red and green are complementary colors, they work well in just about any setting. To contrast against the cool, serene mint of the walls, custom Roman shades were made from a transitional print featuring red and two shades of spring green.
