DESIGNER ROOM RECREATE: HOME OFFICE GOES GRACEFULLY BROWN

October 29, 2008
  • Share

Love this home office designed by Los Angeles interior decorator Betsy Burnham of Burnham Design

For this Los Angeles home, Betsy designed the perfect blend of comfort, style and function. The dark brown walls make the space warm and inviting but serious enough to inspire productivity. The feminine accents throughout the room like the patterned drapes, the lighting in the form of a crystal chandelier and lovely table lamp, and the sumptuous upholstered pieces, all brilliantly soften and lighten the otherwise dark space

This office is wonderfully designed and conceived, hence it is the subject of today’s Cococozy DESIGNER ROOM RECREATE!

    I cannot find the tango drapes at Z Gallerie any longer. Has anyone found anything similar anywhere? I’m having no luck on the internet.

The bouclé sofa isn’t a trend, it’s a commitment. The bouclé sofa isn’t a trend, it’s a commitment. Soft, sculptural, and impossible to walk past without wanting to sit down. The rooms that get it right pair it with something unexpected: a dramatic mural, an antique screen, a city skyline, a hand-laid mosaic floor.
Which bouclé sofa room would you want to sink into? Drop your answer 👇

A well-designed bunk room isn’t just for kids. It’s about making every guest feel like they got the best bed in the house. Built-in storage, thoughtful lighting, and bedding that actually makes you want to climb up top.
Save this for your next build or renovation inspo and follow for more. 🖤

This Toronto home just redefined “warm modern.” 🤎 This Toronto home just redefined “warm modern.” 🤎
Designer Ashley Montgomery layered reclaimed wood beams, brass hardware, and deep walnut millwork against soft plaster walls, and somehow every single room still feels calm. The olive built-ins in the living room, the arched oak doors, that brass shower enclosure in the primary bath... this is what happens when someone actually commits to a palette.

How much summer can you fit into a few days? ☀️⛵️How much summer can you fit into a few days? ☀️⛵️
I flew from Los Angeles to Nantucket for a very quick trip and I’m planning to find out.
Beautiful beaches, boats, gorgeous interiors, time with friends and one last little dose of August.
Turns out you don’t always need a whole week to feel like you got away. 🤍
So happy to be visiting bestie @francesgfayard and her husband Calvin and my godson Carter for a little last minute end of summer travel. New England at its best. Day 1 was a beautiful day. 🤩
You are not going to feel motivated every day. AndYou are not going to feel motivated every day. And you don’t have to.
Some days you’ll feel inspired and everything seems to click. Other days, you’ll question what you’re doing and wonder if any of it is actually working.
The important thing is not to mistake a slow day for a step backward.
You can keep going even when the motivation isn’t there. Some days, showing up is the progress.
Save this for the days when you need the reminder. 🤍
