9 Top Tips on Styling Your Home Office

With working from home here to stay as government guidelines continue, why not spend some time revamping and transforming your home office space to not only be functional, but beautiful too.

Home improvement brand VELUX has joined forces with leading interior designers Whinnie Williams and Kierra Campbell of Poodle & Blonde to bring to you their 9 top tips for styling your home office.

Ceilings are often the most forgotten surface in a room.  By painting or wallpapering them in bold, fun colours and prints it immediately adds interest and makes the space feel bigger.

2. If you want to work from home and have a desk set up, nothing will aide productivity more than having natural light.

3. When styling surfaces always do it in odd numbers. A trio of product is a great start and feels exciting on the eye.

Lighting really can make any space feel magical, so think about the interiors in your home to help open up your space. Light-coloured walls and furniture help to reflect the natural light from your roof windows, creating a lighter, brighter living space.

When wanting to bring print into your home play around with scale. Pairing a large scale print with a smaller delicate one ensures they don't fight against each other. Also, bringing a third print in will look better when styling than two. 

6. Shopping vintage and antique, then mixing it up with modern pieces is a great way to elevate a space and make it feel clever and unique. 

7. Curtains are money well spent. They give texture and warmth to your styling. They are great for bringing in colour - we always suggest floor length.

8. Cushions are great little room refreshers. If you’re tired of your sofa they are the easiest way to give your space a fresh feel... and more is more!

When choosing artwork go big. Large art is such an easy way to fill a space... and think outside the box! Frame up old kitchen tea towels, wallpaper, paint your own abstract print on some MDF or even pin up large roll of fabric. 

VELUX x Poodle & Blonde have launched a limited-edition ‘Magic Hours’ collection designed specifically with the home office space in mind.
