Asian Inspired Office with a Texas Twist

decrenew interiors

I always love decorating office spaces.  The accessorizing is what makes an office feel inviting! There is no reason an office needs to feel stuffy and stale.  Your spaces create a mood and can instantly make a client feel at ease which equals profits for you in the long run.

BEFORE

My client had all the furniture pieces but needed me to add the detail.  They wanted an Asian influence with a Texas flair.  The main problem here is the scale of the couch.  It seems small for the room.  I knew we could make it work with whatever we put above the couch.

My inspiration for the entire room was this vintage oriental rug that I found.  If you follow me regularly, you will see that I like to add an international flair to my designs. This project was perfect for me because of that.

Ruthie Tip:  Never under estimate the power of pillows.

The large antique blue and white ginger jars added such charm to the room.  I wanted the flannel plaid on the leather couch to create a masculine feel.

The white cow rug is the twist of Texas!

The floor lamp is really nice in an office for evening working. Also, creates height in the space and makes everything come together nicely.

Pops of green on the coffee table as well as the fig tree makes the space feel alive.

I always love how fig trees look. They are so lush and green. I put this one in a basket which is a bit of a Texas flair and adds interest and texture vs. a typical planter.

Two gold bamboo pagoda lamps really added a fun flair to the console table.

Yellow florals pop against the black console table and definitely add an Asian flair.

The reception area is very welcoming now with the blue and white pottery and the striking florals.

 The artwork was custom made by "Divine Inspirations" and I love it!  So colorful and striking when you walk in.

I'm busy working on some design plans and will be posting pictures as soon as those jobs are finished.  We finished up 3 kitchens this week so photo shoots will be happening sometime soon too.

I know....it's so hot here in Texas that it seems crazy to incorporate anything to do with the word sunshine to our already HOT homes!  I think you will be pleasantly surprised at what an impact yellow can make to your interiors.  Take a look at see!

 The neutral backdrop allows the home owner to add whatever color they want to. Yellow leather chairs with nail heads is a perfect fit for this charming living area upstairs.  They will grow more beautiful with age.  The club chairs are bulky but notice how the designer softened the look with a round coffee table and round side table.  They are also open underneath and the perfect scale in order to allow the space to feel bigger and more spacious. 
Yellow and black compliment each other well in this living space.  The zebra rug is my favorite!
A yellow chandelier for those of us that are brave!
Full of sunshine! What amazing lamps!
These dining chairs below make this
 room come alive!
What a wonderful office space.  The yellow (gold) wing back chair combined with the round work table is a perfect fit for a functional space.  Can be used to meet with several clients or for relaxing with a book with your feet up on the matching yellow ottoman.  Love the painting hanging on the bookshelf.  The gold frame marries the elements together in a beautiful grouping of three.

This dining room is captivating.  I'm in love with the soft yellow in the ceiling alcove.  Such a beautiful addition and adds a bright cheerful feel.  Just think about how romantic it would be at night.  Without the yellow band, this ceilings architecture would not have been much of anything.
Decorating with yellow can be as simple as adding a tray to your bedside table.
Or adding an interesting piece of original art to a room.
Accessories and pillows can play a huge impact in a room! Yellow paired with this lavender color is gorgeous isn't it?  Crazy about the white throw on the arm chair.  This room is not over done, it just makes a statement because of the scattered pops of color.
A yellow headboard is thrilling combined with Kelly green.
This master bedroom is a happy yellow. I love how they put a band of yellow on the drapery panels to tie it all together.
A mirror painted yellow is pure perfection in this powder bath.
How about a yellow rug and some large artwork in a grouping of 4?

A yellow door is a great introduction to who you are!
I'm wondering if I could pull off this yellow wall in my courtyard?
A yellow dresser, vanity, bench or headboard is always a bit of drama in a room!
These chairs made me smile.

I would be a guest in this room. The painted brick is an added texture to this backdrop.  The bedding looks very crisp and cool for summer.

Yellow on bookshelves!
Notice the back of the bookshelves are painted brown.  A subtle touch that acts as a nice backdrop to these yellow books.  I don't think these are Yellow pages (phone books) or National Geographic Magazines.

A tiny touch of yellow in this room by using side tables.  It's perfect!  Nice way to incorporate the floor.
