Elegant neutral office

Could this be the world’s most beautiful work space? It belongs to architect D. Standley Dixon in Atlanta. Neutral, serene, elegant and gorgeous! I like the Belgian-style bare floorboards and linen-draped desk topped with glass. The artwork that looks like a chalkboard is a beautiful, contemporary focal point, flanked by the tall glass lamps.

I suppose it’s not surprising that an architect would have such beautiful windows (above). It’s all about simplicity here: plain iron curtain rod and no pattern, just texture.

Is that an antique stone fire surround used as a console table? I love it! Combined with the rustic cane basket, linen-covered antique chair, gilt mirror, branches and delicate lamps, it’s the perfect neutral display.

Does this color do it for you (above)? It does for me! Years ago I saw a room by Nina Campbell and the paint colour she had used was called ‘drab’. I can’t remember what the colour looked like but that name comes to mind when I look at this room with painted bookshelves. So in my mind drab is beautiful! I also love the framed architectural drawings and the natural elements in the room: steel and timber table, iron railing, wood frame pieces and stone.

Love this simple and lovely unadorned window (above). The white saarinen-style tulip table lends a modern edge to the rustic decoration.

Have a great weekend! x
