Small Spaces Decor Inspiration: How to Create a Pinterest-Worthy Small Office

December 20, 2018

In looking back over this past year of content sharing here on The Style DJ, it’s interesting to see that, for the second year in a row, my most popular post and most pinned on Pinterest is a decor-centered post, “Small Spaces Inspiration: How to Create a Vanity in Your Closet. ” Since then, I’ve continued to slowly work on projects around our house, but I haven’t really shared many updates. So, in line with “Small Spaces” decor inspiration, here is a glimpse at the before and after journey of a small sunroom located off our main living room which I like to call my “office.” 🙂

  • BEFORE: The sunroom when we first moved in.

AFTER! This wall, which shares the fire place on the other side, is the only windowless wall in this room. To help break up the white space, I went with this bold banana leaf print paper from Accent Wall Customs a la the Beverly Hills Hotel. I like the contrast of the crisp high-gloss white desk and shag rug with a geometric pattern against this vintage print.
Colorful photos are set in metallic frames from Restoration Hardware. I like how bamboo window shades are neutral and let in a lot of light. They make me feel like I’m in a sunny and warm locale (and not in Chicago in the middle of winter!)
A faux fur stool serves as the resting place for my current projects (e.g., Santa’s Workshop!)
  • A pink mid-century modern chair from World Market is a pop of color against the vintage wallpaper print.
  • This bobble stitch wool blend sweater serves as a cozy layer at night when I’m working.
  • Some of my favorite decor inspiration books double as a stage for seasonal decor.
  • I use a gold monogrammed glass from Anthropologie to hold my pens.

I adore this vintage palm print removable wall paper so much that I’ll be using it in my next small spaces decor update – a tiny powder room located on our first floor. I can’t wait to share that room refresh with you in the New Year!

Do you have any decor updates planned for the New Year?

XOXO,

Emily
