Hello again! Dawn here, from AD Aesthetic, and I’m back with another mood board for your decoration inspiration. This month, I thought I’d tackle a room that may be neglected dec0r-wise, due to it’s more utilitarian nature: the home office.
I’m a person who loves color, and I draw lots of inspiration from being surrounded by it. So for this home office moodboard, I decided a colorful and inspiring space was the way to go. Here’s what I came up with:

Like I mentioned, I find color super inspirational, and working in a creative field, I prefer to surround myself with it as much as possible. However, I also know that color can be overwhelming, and it’s important to keep things organized so it doesn’t look disjointed and random.
Tips for a Colorful Office
Here are a few tips for pulling together a colorful office that provides loads of creative inspiration:
Choose colors you love. This may seem obvious, but you don’t have to plaster your space with every color of the rainbow to make it colorful. Similarly, while the examples here are on the brighter end of the spectrum, muted colors can be just as inspirational and may fit your work style better than vivid hues.
Find at least one piece that ties things together. Having a space with lots of different colors can be fun, but it can also come across as cluttered or disorganized if you aren’t careful. My biggest tip for creating colorful spaces is to find at least one (preferably large) element in the space that contains all of the main colors you’re using throughout the decor. One easy way to do this is with a rug. With so many options out there, it’s an easy way to tie everything together. Other options might be a blanket or quilt, or large, colorful artwork.
Add some life to the space. Looking through each of these examples, one thing that they all contain that many people might overlook is plant life. I’m a big advocate for adding plants to any space, but especially in a very colorful space, adding living elements can keep things from feeling too childish. Literally and figuratively, plants can be a breath of fresh air!
