Classy Closets’ Design Ideas for a Traditional Home Office

Posted on January 14, 2014 by Bob LeSueur

 

As long as we are talking Home Office organization, (check out our latest blog postshere and here for more Home Office organization tips and tricks from Classy Closets) we need to talk about the best part! Decorating your, now impeccably organized, home office. Classy Closets considers designing your office space just as important as organizing it. We understand the importance of loving your space and feeling at home in it. We think the perfect pairing to a rich, deep wood home office by Classy Closets would be some of these traditional elements. Traditional home decor is characterized by elements or motifs that have been passed down through generations. For example, the below collage you will notice: leather, maps, ornate rugs, and wood. Traditional decor usually has strong lines and classic colors such as black, cream, brown, and beige. Traditional design is meant to feel comfortable and relaxed with a feeling of strength and invite. Classic lines and furniture help to make anyone feel at home.

Classy Closet’s Tips: Decorating Your Bookshelves

Posted on November 8, 2013 by Bob LeSueur

Ok, ok- let’s talk more about libraries, books, bookshelves and comfy couches! You don’t have to twist our arm! We aren’t done talking about them yet, either.

After our last blog post about libraries and bookshelves- we’ve been collecting new ideas and dreaming about creating some unique Classy Closet’s libraries. The possibilities are endless and we absolutely love some of the creative and beautiful ideas we have seen for decorating your bookshelves.

Here is a list of some of our favorite ideas:

*Add a different color to the walls behind your bookshelf. This helps to deepen and enrich the colors in the room and to bring out your bookshelf- making it even more noticeable. (Image via rightupmy-alley.blogspot.com)

*Add personal touches by incoporating family heirlooms, pictures, favorite decor and more. A book shelf will have more visual interest if it is not lined completely with books. (Image via Lonny Mag)

*Try organizing your books by color and likeness for a creative and bright- but tailored look.

*Take advantage of extra bookshelf space by implementing home decor. Allow some of the bookshelf to be used by things other than books.

*Solid colored books and decor stand out and give an extra pop to your bookshelf. By looking at the bookshelf below you can easily see how the solid-colored items stand out more easily and give extra dimension.

*Lighting is everything! Try lighting your bookshelves with over-shelf lighting.
