6 Home Offices We Can't Stop Thinking About
Let’s be honest: if you’re going to spend hours in a home office, it should be worth looking at. IDS designers are proving that a workspace can be functional, inspiring, and totally swoon-worthy all at once. From color-drenched creativity zones to history-filled hideaways, these offices might just have you rearranging your own desk before you even finish reading.
1. Girl Boss Energy designed by D’Amore Interiors
Designer Gina D’Amore Bauerle’s client wanted a workspace that was unapologetically feminine and completely functional. Think blush and purple accents, a marble-and-pewter desk, sculptural steel bookcases, and high heel artwork that feels more “editorial spread” than “corporate cubicle.” It’s equal parts powerhouse and pretty.
2. Attic Update designed by Bethany Adams Interiors
Bethany Adams took a dusty, unfinished attic in a 1929 Tudor revival and turned it into two dreamy offices. Steel-and-glass partitions keep things bright while adding a modern edge that still nods to the home’s historic details. The color palette, pulled from the original stained glass, makes the whole space feel timeless yet fresh.
3. Color Meets Clean Lines designed by Brooke Adler Interiors
Brooke Adler strikes the perfect balance between playful and polished. For a client with two energetic pups, she designed a modern workspace with clean lines, durable finishes, and an irresistible dose of color. The pièce de résistance? Original art that sets the tone for an office that’s as fun as it is functional.
4. Zoom Backdrop Envy designed by Old Soul Design Studio
When your client is on video calls all day, the background matters. Interior designer Krystal Reinhard went full House of Hackney with jewel tones, bold patterns, mixed metals, and an 11-foot custom built-in that hides office clutter (and some extra china) with style. The pink flamingo Audubon print? That’s the showstopper.
5. Fashion Meets Function designed by Dana Bass Designs
Dana Bass turned a transitional space into a statement-making home office for a fashion-savvy entrepreneur. Fluffy chairs, an asymmetrical rug, and a rare KAWS Bearbrick collection set the tone. Modernized paneling and strategic space planning subtly signal the boundary between public and private spaces, while still offering a stylish welcome.
6. Pinboards & Pour-overs designed by Shayla Copas Lifestyle
For a fashion stylist who wanted a space to meet clients, build mood boards, and brainstorm over a drink, Shayla Copas delivered an office that’s as layered as her client’s style. Pops of color bring the energy, a custom tack board makes mood boards easy, and a bar-height meeting table keeps the creativity flowing.
Whether you’re into moody maximalism or airy minimalism, these IDS designers prove that your home office can be as inspiring as the work you do in it. Now… anyone else suddenly in the mood to buy new desk accessories?
