I have a day job.
And ever since the growing coronavirus pandemic pushed employers to let their people work from home, I have been doing just that. And fortunately for me, I had already designated a room in the house to work from home.
The room has a desk with a chair and hutch, a chest of drawers, and a twin bed. What it doesn’t have is personality.
That is partly due to the fact that I have not made the time to decorate it. No one goes into the room except me, and that’s only when I’m working.
The other part is, I cannot settle on a decor.
The desk, hutch and chest are matching pieces with a washed-oak finish. The twin bed was mine from childhood – my first bed out of the crib.
The furniture works in that they serve a purpose for now. I bought the washed-oak pieces at the turn of the century when I decorated the home office/spare bedroom at my condo in a giraffe theme.
I still have the giraffe items and a global-inspired throw to match. I could simply set out the stuff and see how it goes.
Or I could extend to that room the Hollywood Regency style that I have in the living room. The downside is that it would take some time to afford those items.
Or I could just do nothing, which sometimes is the best decor when you’re undecided.
