Last month, we created a super luxe office cocoon with dusky and moonlight tones. In this issue, the Broste Oak Desk is centre stage once again, but within a golden and caramel nook, bringing brightness into your workspace.

Painting a zone around your desk is a fun way to bring your personality to work and transform the often-overlooked work-from-home space into an inviting nook. Experiment with colour by picking out some favourite shades from your clothing and accessorise your desk with your eclectic treasures in complementary tones. Here, a warm circle of Resene Swiss Caramel sits alongside a golden rectangle of Resene Manuka Honey and a background of Resene Pearl Lusta. The classic lines of the CC Interiors Broste Oak Desk from Ballantynes are given a rustic feel with eclectic accessories in gold, caramel, and cream.

The timeless Broste Oak Desk is beautifully crafted from solid European oak with a natural beeswax finish. This versatile piece can work with classic décor and also suits this eclectic rustic setting for a home office that really feels like home.

Accessories are always necessary, and this decorative aged French Country Alexa Gold Globe from Ballantynes is the perfect addition to a home office with its stunning iron frame for looks and sturdiness on your desk. By blending shapes and shades, you can create an impactful display of artisanal ceramics. The organic silhouettes of the tall White Gourd and the Off-White Jug earthenware pieces from the Pottery Barn Studio Vase Collection at Ballantynes are made by hand in an eclectic range of shapes and finishes. This floor vignette is completed by the equally rustic tall and tanned Simi Vase.

The seat is as important as the desk, and the West Elm Slope Office Chair in leather from Ballantynes balances the Resene Swiss Caramel curve beautifully. The curves in the seat and back make work time more comfortable. It’s upholstered in durable, top-grain leather and set on a handy swivel base with adjustable seat height.

Go on, create your happy place office space.
