We are so, so excited to order some new office furniture for the studio! There are still construction projects going on around us (check out my Instagram stories today for more behind the scenes!), but the craziness and sawdust is only making us more excited to get everything figured out and our orders placed. The problem is there are too many good options out there right now! We are going to have such a hard time narrowing it down. Here are some of our favorites! We’d LOVE your opinions if you have seen any of these in person! I sat in this chair (#3 below) at World Market the other day and I actually really liked it. (Extra tempting because it’s on super sale!!)

Our plan is to do a mix of a couple different chairs. We still love our leopard Eames Management chairs and think they would look really good with the camel and evergreen leather options here! Or maybe that amazing woven leather? Am I missing any other good ones?
(PS you can click right on the photos here in these new slideshows!)
For now we are sticking with our simple Ikea desks, but may have plans to rearrange the space and change them out in the future. I love the clean, modern lines of these desks! I think we’d all like having some options that have drawers, but that still feel really light and open.
I am completely, totally obsessed with those green metal cabinets! That COLOR! How amazing would a few of them look lined up on our new shiplap wall?! We also need a few cabinets with drawer storage for the east wall of the studio and a couple of these I think could fit the bill nicely. We are also loving that tall caned cabinet from Urban Outfitters, which is very similar to the one we have had our eye on at Ikea. It’s supposed to be back in stock in August at our local IKEA, but last time it came back in stock, they sold out in a morning! Sad! Maybe I’ll just grab the Urban version instead?
There are so many great task lamps out there right now, especially in the budget range. Every single one of us here is obsessed with the this gorgeous lamp. Wouldn’t it be pretty to have one on every desk? I think we could swing it at that price too! It comes in copper, mustard, brass, white and black. I have a feeling the hard part will be deciding between so many great color options! Which is your favorite?

Who says office accessories have to be boring and ugly? I’m pretty sure you can’t get bummed out organizing files when your folders come in so many cute, happy colors! And we are in DESPERATE need of new mouse pads (the IKEA desks don’t work with the Apple mouse!) and I can’t wait to get our order of those pretty leather ones. (PS they also come in a gorgeous Juniper green!)
Do you have any office must-haves that you can’t live without?
There are some great products here, but my comment is about a post on a carpet you bought a while back. I loved it and wanted to know what website you shared that carried it. Help Please
Do not purchase bi-cast leather products, like tge chair from World Market. The leather will peel with regular use.
I cannot wait to see what you do to this space. So many good options here. I think those camel leather desk chairs would feel so good in the space. Bring some warmth to the vast white-ness. But the green leather option is so good too. I love the idea of little hits of green as a nod to LGN. Also just wanted to say for drawer storage you could look at installing a big Ikea Besta fauxdenza type situation.
That’s the plan, Katy! A couple of camel chairs and a couple of the green ones. I want a few hints of green, but I don’t want to be toooooo literal here. Also don’t want to be an IKEA showroom either, but it’s hard to ignore the price difference right now! ha! :)
I have #16 as my desk chair and I am not in love with it. The white “leather” gets SO dirty and it’s just not as comfortable as I had imagined. If I had to do it all over again I would definitely be looking at that World Market chair or something from CB2.
Also, I have the Audrey lamp from Target in Black and it is So. Nice. Really sturdy and you can’t beat the price. I would say grab those as soon as you can because they will go fast!
Jill, I am loving Target’s lighting options too! There are so many good ones right now and I agree about the quality! And good to know about the white leather. I’ve heard magic erasers help a lot!
I think you should absolutely go for the green cabinets! That color is totally your thing! As for the desk lamps, I would go black and white! Or that black and brass option if you have a lot of light colored desk accessories. Aren’t you able to online order that Ikea cabinet? If you aren’t I would be sad because I want it for myself, and UO prices are just a little too high for me…
I LOOOOOOVE the green, Katie! :) Can’t wait to get them! I only wish you could order the IKEA cabinet online. It’s only available in stores.
PB Teen has some really cute desks & chairs (including a fur-covered exercise ball–do that! ) Your studio is looking amazing. :-)
Thanks for the tip, Aidel!! I’ll look into those! xo
Have you seen the Stash desk from Blu Dot? I’m sure you have but just in case… it is clean and open with a drawer. The graphite on ash is my fav. And with those green/camel chairs, leather mouse pad and new WE lamp… so perfect!

I LOVE Blu Dot!!! They products are so well made! That desk is awesome, Callie! Love your idea about the graphite desk combo! All the heart eyes! xo
I have #10 from the chairs and it is cute and decently comfortable but it doesn’t tilt! I never even thought to look at that factor, but I wish I had!
Oh, good to know, Sarah! Thanks!! xo
I’m planning to buy new furniture for office. This post and the comments on this post gave me an idea on what to buy. Thank you!
Quality seating arrangements for the workers of a workspace is essential and it could also enhance productivity in an indirect way.
