Recently, I revamped my home office, and it’s made a world of difference. When a friend visited, she immediately sunk into my new green velvet chair, and it clicked—I had successfully created a welcoming and cozy space. It got me thinking about how much we, as creatives, deserve a space that reflects our work, our style, and our accomplishments. Even if I wasn’t ready for a complete dream office makeover, transforming this little corner of my home was my way of celebrating my milestones.
This project taught me that we need to celebrate our wins, even in small ways. Whether that’s upgrading a chair or adding personal touches, it’s important to acknowledge how far we've come. Here's a breakdown of the items that made my office not only functional but also a true reflection of my journey.

1. Green Velvet Chair
One of my favorite finds! This chair brings a luxurious, cozy vibe to my office. I love having a comfortable space to work besides sitting at my desk. The velvet texture adds warmth, making the office feel like an inviting nook.
2. Burled Wood Console Table
This console from Target is both practical and stunning. I love how versatile it is. Whether for storage or displaying personal items, it fits perfectly into the space while also being something I can reuse in other rooms down the road.
3. Smart Storage Solutions
I can't function in clutter, and this Amazon storage cabinet was a lifesaver. With a white-and-wicker design, it keeps my office supplies neatly tucked away. I paired it with a wicker basket for magazines and silver goblets that hold my pencils. These touches bring texture and style while keeping everything in its place.
4. Frames for Artwork
As an artist and collector, the right frames are essential. I found a set of frames from Amazon that not only showcase my pieces but also elevate the whole room. From vintage gold to walnut wood, each one adds character and charm to my office walls.
5. Lamps & Bookshelf Decor
Lighting is everything! I added a tall lamp to create a cozy glow and finished it off with a few personal bookshelf finds. Little details like these help the space feel more personal and inspiring.
Final Thoughts
Your workspace should be a reflection of the milestones you've achieved, no matter how big or small. Even if it’s just one room or corner, updating it with pieces that resonate with you can truly inspire creativity and growth. Don't be afraid to invest in yourself and your space—it’s a celebration of all the hard work you've put into your journey.
