(Pamela Skaist Levy)Those of you who know me or follow my blog know how much I love a good workspace, and why shouldn't I? Most of us spend 8-10 hours a day at our desks which adds up to somewhere between 83 and 105 full days per year. With only 365 days in the entire year, my desk had better be super cute!
So, this week I'm going to put up a series of posts on my favorite kinds of workspaces, accessories and offices. Hopefully you'll all get some creative inspiration for your own desks (and feel free to send me pictures of your own. If I receive enough I'll highlight some on the site).
With no further ado, here are my four favorite kinds of workspaces each of which we be profiled in further detail this week.
1. Eclectic Glam
(Elle Decor, Amy Fine Collins)My favorite kind of workspace, this style is marked by a mix of modern, baroque and vintage furniture, mismatched textiles, deep jewel tones, metallics and classic, kitschy, and sentimental art and a fair amount of glitz.
The Fashion Editor's Desk
(Alexander Wang, via Habitually Chic)Just as they like their models, fashion-y types often favor work spaces that are minimal, pretty and keep the focus on the clothes. Think sleek, modern, parsons desk, black and white photos, minimal clutter, silver, uniform flowers, white.
Vintage Schoolhouse Chic
(Elle Decor, Lili Abir Regen)Imagine what your tenured english lit professor's home office would look like. Then make it cooler. Signatures of this style include salvaged furniture, wood, managed clutter, wrought iron, brown leather, vintage classics, prized first editions...and some vintage scotch for good measure.
The Artist's Desk
(Richard Longo, via The Selby)This is the way our most brilliant, underpaid creatives work. The extreme disorder and piles of paper would probably make your mother cry, but you could spend weeks at these desks and discover something beautiful everyday. Think: The Selby, extreme clutter, inspiration boards, white walls, neon color, modern furniture, chaos.
