The article narrates the author's journey of revitalizing their white-washed home office in suburban Ohio. Overwhelmed by indecision, they initially struggled to replace the uninspiring aesthetic. Eventually motivated by a teal rug, they chose Benjamin Moore's Antique Glass for the built-ins, complemented by white contrast elements. After much deliberation, the author also selected a bold red Peonies print from Chasing Paper for wall covering, showcasing their maximalist design approach. This transformation highlights the importance of personal expression in home office decor.
I was ecstatic to finally have a home office of my own. The only problem: The snowy built-in shelves and paneling felt so, well, soulless.
Deciding on the wall-covering pattern was a process - it took months! The only room of the house where I have full control, I wanted to go bold here.
I didn't want to swap out white for just any color, so paralyzed with indecision, I kept the office white.
Chasing Paper's peel-and-stick, made from self-adhesive poly-woven fabric, actually feels like real wallpaper, so it was on my radar.
