One look at this inspiration photo and we were obsessed. This room has all of the functionality of an office (comfortable chair, plenty of desk space, storage) without sacrificing an ounce of chic flair.
It also immediately made us think of the bright yellow desk chair we have on our floor right now. Okay, so ours is a little simpler - but it gets the job done and it's under $100 (which, if I had to guess, is a far better price than the one in the inspiration photo...). Plus, the bright color excites us just looking at it!
Yellow Office Chair (#31972) - $98.99

And so, a mission to recreate commenced!
We quickly realized we had an adorable all-white dining table that would be perfect for our room. Alright, technically it's not a desk...but really? We think it would work much better our way - it's a tiiinnny table.
West Elm Parsons Table (#31940) - $126.49

The next item we noticed in the photo was the teal bench/ottoman. While we don't have a perfect match in our current inventory, we thought this gold and animal-print bench would work well with the color palette that's going on (and I think I actually like it better!)
Bench (Mini Mart Item #10590) - $599

Every office needs a place to store files or - let's be honest - shove a giant mess of papers away so you don't have to look at it for the time being. We have a few options that are similar to the one in the inspiration photo.
We
loooove this display hutch from our designer Mini Mart...
2-Piece Painted Bookcase (Mini Mart Item) - $675.19
Call (708) 386-3366 to purchase.
...but this country-style dresser could also work really well, especially if you replaced the pulls with something crystal-like or metallic and added a statement mirror on top of it.
Chest of Drawers (#31967) - $160.59
Call (708) 386-3366 to purchase.
White Mirror (Mini Mart Item #10539) - $599
Call (708) 386-3366 to purchase.
That gives us an idea! Why not use an entire mirrored piece as your behind-the-desk storage? Even if you stopped here, the office would still scream CHIC!
Mirror Chest (Mini Mart Item #12811) - $899

Alright, so we've got all the big pieces covered. Now it's time to accessorize! In keeping with the gold/white/teal scheme, we picked out a few items from our accessories shelves that we think would accent the room perfectly. They could be used to store pens, sticky-notes, business cards, flowers, etc.
Decor items pictured range from $7-$12
