BUILT-IN STYLING
With a sunny view of the Pacific Coast Highway and fresh aroma of the salty sea, this is the ultimate sanctuary for an at-home work space. When creating a built-in desk with upper shelving in this coastal home just off the water, we went with vertical shiplap painted in a clean, creamy white and matte black hardware. Keeping the work area uncluttered and pretty is one sure way of staying focused. We love to mix in warm tones for a pop of color against the soft whites, greens, and blues.
Our favorite Designer Tips for styling built-ins are:
Stacking books, which act as decorative pieces while adding height to objects.
Incorporating your favorite vibrant art piece or two against clean, white walls helps to bring in color and add dimension.
Playing with scale; alternating large and small pieces together create harmony and visual interest.
Fresh florals not only add a pleasant aroma, but liven up the area.
