As a person that works from a home office I’m a bit uninspired as to what to do with the space. There are great views of the mountains and open space via the western facing windows that I would like to honor.  Also, the space needs to be warm and inviting because it is part of our home…not to mention that it connects to a primary living area.  Given that I’m a bit uninspired, or perhaps simply overwhelmed with so much to do and not enough time, I have looked to Houzz.com for ideas on what might inspire the next step in the design process.

What I have already completed is the purchase of my desk and we have painted the walls. Now I just need to decorate. Ideas I like thus far…

The light fixture, good use of corner space, overall organized storage, and the photo placement stand out in this home office.

Though I am not a fan of the colorful butterfly graphic I do like the quirky idea of using clipboards instead of the ever expected cork-board.

This is a great idea to use a table lamp instead of the typical desk lamp. I also love the overall feel in this space…nice and clean yet still warm!

you can check the color at the door but I do love the boutique style artwork display.

Built in storage, traditional feel, and cute little cameo silhouettes are very appealing and spark some ideas for my own space.

I love the overall feel to this entire space. Funny enough the coffee table is the exact idea that I saw at a cute little local decor store. Though not suited for my home office I would love this coffee table (i.e. textile cart) in the family room. Hmmmm… you just never know where a little inspiration excursion will take you!

All of these images are great inspiration and ideas, though discombobulated in style there are little bits and pieces of each room that have me thinking more clearly about my own space. Over the next few weeks I hope to have the space complete! Look for more to come…
