A Home Office With a Daybed Gets a Finished Look

August 12, 2023 in Design Plans, Decorating, Q&A, Furniture

This home office was dual function with a daybed and a stand up desk. Unfortunately, it also had some clutter and a disorganized vibe.

Let’s design it to be a happy, functional space to come for work or a welcoming place to host an overnight guest!

Before - Home Office w/ daybed

This question came in from my recent subscriber Q&A at the first of this month. She wanted to know if she was laying out the space well and how to make it work better.

First of all, I want to hide those wires and the clutter as much as possible. I do like the layout with the desk on this side and the bed on the opposite wall.

I recommended she move the desk down the wall some, toward the window, and then put a tall storage piece with doors beside it, so that you see the side of that when you walk in, not the backs of the computers and all the wires.

This light wood cabinet is perfect for storing the clutter and hiding the back part of the desk. It’s 39” wide x 18” deep and the light wood with caning is right on trend.

Then, I wanted to bring this light wood look over to the other side of the room with two end tables on each side of the bed. These are chunky looking, so a nice mod style.

Chunky light wood end tables would do well to balance the light wood cabinet on the other side of the room.

I love introducing a little soft color in the lamps. These are bigger and one on each side will make this space really inviting and make the daybed feel a little like a sofa.

I would also invest in a good quality ergonomic chair. This Aeron chair from Herman Miller is wonderful and I love it in this light finish.

A soft polyprolene rug, some pillows and a big piece of art will repeat the color scheme and add some softness to the room.

This comes in a 51 x 51” size and that’s what I’d do over the bed.

This subtle blue polyprolene rug will soften the room.

And here’s this home office look all put together!
