Office Room Updates

Now that my daughter is getting older she needs a little more space. So we have decided to upgrade her to a bigger room. We gave it a fresh lick of paint, got some brand new wardrobes and added some Peter Rabbit Prints to her walls. So now its time to spruce up her old room and create a space for me. I'm getting a little office. 


We have been searching for the perfect scheme and I really like the idea of white furniture being match with dove grey and pastel pink. White bedroom designs are a classic option that will never date. With the right accessories and soft furnishings, a white bedroom can still be a warm and inviting space for you to enjoy. A white colour scheme creates a calming backdrop that will become a tranquil haven for you to relax, but it's all about those important finishing touches that matter. 

I have decided to go for subtle accents of grey and pale pink to give a softer touch to the office, with touches of copper metal for a cosy but chic room. Texture is another great way to mix-up an all-white bedroom design. Knitted cushions, woollen throws and thick rugs will make a white room look cosy. I can't help but feel that these styles together are a great way to achieve a completely unique look in a white room. Now let's talk finishing touches. 

A trip to IKEA is essential when it comes to getting brilliant white wardrobes that you can take away that day. But as usual with anything from IKEA you never really leave with the things you went in for, we came out with a car load, as you do. Hello Brimnes wardrobe! I have to say it did take me a while to decided which furniture to go for, but I settled on this gorgeous three door wardrobe that is perfect to store my ever growing collection of shoes, bags and clothes. However, it wasn't going to be enough room for all my makeup accessories and all those little bits, so we added a Kallax unit in there too. We placed this unit on it's side so we could optimise the space. 

Prints

This home office is going to be a place for work, but I also want it to have a little feminine touch too. Poster Lounge are a company who offer a large range of prints on their website, they are based in Germany but ship all over the world. Each print comes with a selection of materials to choose from depending on how you want it to look on your wall. Poster, Canvas, Ali-Bond, Fortex, Glass Acrylic, and even wood. I am not going to lie their range is pretty impressive! For the prints for my office I knew that I wanted some prints that we soft, pretty and very feminine and of course I really love typography too. Typography is favourite décor element to many people and it’s already used in many homes in a various ways and this Oh la la print is gorgeous and I'm planning on putting this in a white wooden frame too. 



The next couple of prints were perfect finishing touches to my pretty pink décor, because they have hues of pink and rose gold within them. Both are inspired the minimalist scandi trend and printed on high quality silk finish paper, which isn't always so easy to find when you're buying prints online. I also have this gorgeous Little Rabbit print that can be used in my office or used in my daughter's rabbit themed room. 

As well as having an extensive range of beautiful prints, Poster Lounge also offer different materials with their prints and posters. Using UV-resistant ink on coated, bright white premium paper results in smooth colour transitions at a high resolution, excellent edge sharpness and brilliant colours with outstanding fade resistance. The satin finish of premium photo paper ensures a silky, matte look without distracting reflections. But you can choose from poster, canvas, Alu-Bibond, Fortex, Acrylic Glass, and even printed on wood so there is something for all styles. 



Decor

With the feminine colour scheme of white, pink and grey I wanted to add some décor pieces that give a striking contrast. Over the last few months I have found myself down the homeware aisles like Next, Sainsbury's and TK Maxx. As well as picking up some pieces from B&Ms, Primark and H&M too. Greenery is always a good contrast and add a little life to a room. I have picked up a couple of these cute little cactuses inside rose gold pot, as well as some really plants in white planters. 

IKEA is the best and is always jam packed of cute little decor pieces. This cute teacup and saucer adds something to this wooden furniture as well as this copper coloured basket from Habitat. No room is equipped without some kind of mirror. Even though my wardrobes have a long length mirror I saw these contemporary copper coloured hanging mirrors that can be hung together or separately, they add a point interest to the room and a simple white rug. 
Overall I’m really happy with my new office room so far, we still have a lot to do. A lick of paint on the wall, painting the handmade book shelf and frame the prints. Slowly but surely the room is coming together really well and sure has a lot of character. Having a space for me is such a great way for me to be proactive and stay focused, meanwhile looking super pretty at the same time. What do you think of my office space so far?

  4. Sounds beautiful - I love the rabbit print! I need to sort my office out too, it's pretty much just our 'dumping room' and hasn't been decorated since we ripped off the wallpaper when we first moved in! #BlogCrush
