When my youngest was born, we gave up our guest room. Actually, I did this big crazy room change and moved my oldest out of the nursery into what was my office and the office into what was the guest room. The result, no guest room.
We don’t have a lot of out-of-town guests. But when my sister-in-law and family come to stay they have to either get a hotel or sleep on the couch. It isn’t very accommodating.
I have grand plans of recouping a guest room by transforming my formal dinning room into an office. Because let’s face it, we never actually use our formal dinning room. I call it our bedroom for the china.
So this is happening, and I am in the process of planning the perfect space for me to work. When designing the perfect space, the first step is a color palate to set the mood. And this is what I am dreaming of – soft, inviting and inspiring.
Kalaty Rugs offers handmade rugs to fit any décor style, including my new office. The one above brings in a neural blue that would go with my color palate, and I like its modern, yet subtle pattern.
I found a lot of rugs I like on Kalaty.com. I also likes the way this blue rug looks in a room.
There are lots of options available from Kalaty for every design style. For more inspiration Follow Kalaty on Pinterest, Like Kalaty Rug on Facebook or Follow @Kalatyrug on Twitter.

Gorgeous ideas!! I love the calm but lovely colors.
Christy Garrett Parenting Advice says
Our formal living room is our office space too. Except I end up blogging on the couch using my laptop. When we built our house we had them put in french doors so that we could close off the space.

I love redecorating. Right now, I’m thinking of updating our two sons room. (They both share a room) They’re both teens now and could use something in a teen deco.

Love the color scheme! I have to agree with you on the dining room area-I don’t think we’ve ever eaten in there.
Bias says
Oh my goodness! I love the color scheme for the home office inspiration look! I never would have thought to put these colors together but they really pop with a strong, basic color scheme. Love it. 🙂 Actually, I tend to skip rugs because one of my dogs has long, fluffy hair gets everywhere. But I definitely like to start with a strong center piece.
Shannon says
What a gorgeous room and I like your idea about using a color palette. The second rug is my fave.
Stacey says
I love, love both rugs! BUT with children I would have to say the first would be the better option. I hate anything white/light colored with children. Feels like I’m constantly cleaning it or else it looks filthy
Sharon Rooney says
I like the gray blue rug the best it gives a contrast
Danielle Porter says
One of our bedrooms is an office space too! Really hard to decorate. I like the idea of a rug though!

Hi! I love your color palette! The desk is really nice too. This inspires me to do a board like this for my bedroom. I just moved into my own place and want to decorate it with pastels and a shabby chic type style. Thank-you for the neat ideas!!
Jonathan Brigden says
When you think about it, when you remove a rug from a floor it looks SO open and big, but that doesn’t do much good to make something homely/comfy if that make sense. A lot of people forget how important rugs are and I’m glad you are looking for the right rug.
christine jessamine says
