You may remember this amazing space from my last post. It is a stunning office designed by Amanda Nisbet.
So ditto-worthy!
ditto :: {what I would steal from this space}:
- coral and navy and lime. simply a fantastic combination! This combo takes guts, but the colors are used judiciously, and balanced with large, neutral pieces.
- I am not much for the typical beige sofa. But I adore how beige-on-beige is used in this space, and made beautiful and lively with the use of varying textures. The amazing rug with a basket-weave texture plays against the simple and soft ultra-suede of the sofa. And this texture-play is made even more amazing by that furry, fuzzy, fluffy bean-bag wonderful-ness.
- A fantastic fabric has a strong presence as window panels, adding instant color and lighthearted liveliness to the room. See the bolster pillow on the sofa that is fashioned from the same fabric? A perfect tie-in… not to mention a great way to make a beige sofa/daybed more exciting. Even better if you adore coral.
- furry! That furry fru- fru floor cushion and the red sofa pillow tell us all not to take this office too seriously. Who says work can’t be fun??
- Old school telephones are the best.
- That chair is just amazing. Lime green? With black piping? and a mini-bolster at the head? with tufting? The chair has a lot of guts, but it makes the room.
- Although it is a bit hard to see here, I simply adore the floor lamp in the right hand foreground. The red, geometric base is makes this lamp a stunner, and ties in to the splash of red on the sofa. Punch color, anyone?
- A pendant lamp in the office. I love that particular pendant lamp… but I also love the notion of using a slim and airy pendant lamp hanging in the corner of an office.
- Everyone needs an electric green Long Island flanking their office walls, no? A fantastic piece of art. I wonder if Amanda did it herself…
This room is a beautiful and energetic space that surely offers the creative worker-bee plenty of inspiration. I am inspired already!
What do you most love about this office?

It is hard to believe this space is even an office. It has such a unique and beautiful color pallete.
My eye was immediately drawn to the chair. Oh my, that is stunning. But unless this office is designed for a really, really small person, that bolster
is for people like me who need support for their back, not their head!
