Most of us have a home office or a home office nook at home, and if you are getting ready to make one or want to renovate an existing one but don’t know how to do that and what to choose, I have a brilliant idea! Go for black and white as the main color scheme, it always works! These are two basic colors that can be mixed up in different proportions, you can apply them to many styles, especially to Scandinavian, minimalist and contemporary, and accent them with colorful accessories or furniture if you want.
Where To Start
First, decide on the style you gonna use – Nordic, minimalist, mid-century modern, contemporary, glam, eclectic, boho or any other – this color scheme matches almost anything. Second, find out the amount of each color in your space – will it be darker and moody to let you relax or light-filled and bright to inspire working and thinking much? Incorporate these colors into your home decor according to that – make a blank white canvas for filling it with white and black units or go for black walls and a white floor plus much black furniture.

What Furniture And Decor To Choose
Furniture and decor should match the style you’ve chosen, it may be done not only in black or white, it may be also done in wood of various stains – wood will add interest to the space. You may also choose catchy furniture designs – bold trestle desks, catchy chairs, metal lamps, pendant or wall ones and so on. Incorporate potted greenery to refresh your home office color scheme, add some rugs with geometric or abstract patterns to cozy up the space.
