What do you think of this home office?

Nice. It's bright and cheery. Where's the computer?

Kind of odd ceiling & light but I'm good with the rest of this room especially what I think are poppies in the vases.

One day this past week it was like 74 out, a GREAT day for walking. Wally my poodle & I of course were out and about like so many others in the 'hood - families even out walking their dogs (and kids!!!). On our way home we passed a guy sitting on his front porch, we greeted each other. He said he was 'working at home'. I told him I was betting he usually doesn't wear shorts at his work, just hanging enjoying the warm weather, he chimed in and said 'smoking a cigarette'. Well, I didn't go along with that but I didn't say that. We wished each other be well stay safe.

His 'office' did not look like this one for sure!

I love it. The style would fit right into my home. Like previous poster, I’m not crazy for the ceiling g and light fixture, but that’s an easy fix. And the computer? Well, it would have interfered with the composition of the photo to include it. Lol.

The pictured wall is just the way I designed the eat-in area of the kitchen in my previous house. Not white/ ivory, but love it!

I love it! Nice, bright and cheery. Might need a different chair though!

The chairs are bar height and you would not be able to sit under the table.

It is bright but don't like the ceiling light or wallpaper. The more I look the less I like this arrangement.

It's bright and cheery, but not really practical for all day, every day work. It looks more like a place where someone would sit and play at working rather than actually working.

At a minimum, I'd need an ergonomically correct work chair. Perhaps a nice Herman Miller Aeron chair. I'd also need a keyboard tray to drop down from under the table top/desk.

Nice bright space, and I kind of like the papered ceiling (I usually don't.) The light fixture is a little weird, but at least it's not boring. Love the poppies.

It's really nice, however for me a table with thinner legs would work. I'd probably hit those with toes or knees. Not the tables fault mind you.

Oh, wow, I'm sure I could work there!

I like everything about it except for the light fixture.

LOL - my home office before I retired. Definitely not as chic.

I like it but in reality I need a computer, chair on rollers (Because I get up and down a million times a day), and a phone...so this isn't practical for me at all.

Pretty but for the person that does very little work at their desk

Love!! Especially the ceiling and the light on the ceiling!

@cindyNC

But more practical and realistic!

It’s the yin and yang. I wish my space looked like lolakimona’s pic, but yours is my reality, too!

That's day 1 of working from home. Two weeks from now it won't look so relaxing.

Im not excited about the wallpaper on the ceiling....The light fixture is unique..... I do like this room....

Handsome and cheerful. I tend to respond to such spaces as a whole, not necessarily focussing on the details of decor.

A desk that you can approach from either side, instead of having it bang-up against a wall-- that is my favorite. Feels "free", even if you are putting your shoulder to the grindstone, ha.

Having all that light streaming in all day-- with the windows going virtually floor to ceiling-- is a major asset. A kitty would most likely want to keep you company, curled up on that little rug by the lower window. I could most definitely work in such an atmosphere, and feel good while doing it.
