Home Office / Studio Decor Inspiration

I'm in the (never-ending) process of redecorating a slip of a room as my office/studio. This room is part of our wrap-around verandah and received a fresh coat of yummy mango-yellow paint recently. I stripped the junk out of the room and right now, it has just the bare essentials - a table, two filing cabinets stuffed with magazines, two thin tall antique cupboards with 'stuff' and a thin single bed, formerly used as a doctor's bed. As you can tell, there's not much room for 'junk' so I'm studiously avoiding getting any in while I figure out storage. Three colourful trunks hold stationery and old notebooks. I'm hoping to use this room as a space to spread out my paints and canvases (in storage since we packed up our lives in the UK six years ago - shame!) and allow me and the boy to paint our afternoons away. Goa is wonderful for languid pipe-dreams and doing up this hot sunny room is one of mine.

Here are some inspirational images for this home-office/art studio/playroom/hideaway. Some of it is contemporary, some traditional.













Dream on, baby.
