A Redesigned Office Space with Desenio

_dsc2910-1600-copy-2

A couple months ago, I finally got my very first iMac. It has been by far one of the best investments I have made in my life! I no longer have to work off a tiny 13″ MacBook Pro on the regular. Editing photos and designing blog posts have become so much easier! After taking my new baby home, I knew the next step was to create a lovely office space. I began to shop affordable, yet stylish and chic office essentials. I like to keep my space pretty minimalistic, but for a few months, the walls were awfully bare. Even after I got my new desk and some fun props like a delightful candle and fresh blooms, I knew I needed something more — something that would stand out and make the space more “me.” Perfect timing had it, a Swedish art print & frames company, Desenio reached out offering the opportunity to transform my boring office into something a lot more exciting!

I got approximately $200 worth of art prints and frames to decorate my walls with from their online store. As for art prints, they have a wonderful variety of styles and sizes to choose from. I was particularly fond of their fashion collection, where I was able to find a ton of affordable classic prints! I scored 8 of these lovely prints with dainty gold frames to match the touches of gold on my desk. To keep things interesting and establish a sense of balance, I varied up the sizes and art vs. text prints selected. While I stuck with gold frames exclusively, Desenio offers a plethora of other styles to suit every taste. Some examples include black, white, oak, copper, and silver frames in different sizes.

As for the text prints, I selected two quotes that characterized me best:

Coco Chanel’s famous “Keep your heels, head, & standards high” and Marc Jacobs’ “It would be a much more beautiful world if people did as they pleased, and not what they thought other people expected of them.”

As a creative, there’s often a struggle between creating work that you think others want to see and creating work that is 100% true to you. Therefore, this quote really speaks to me. I’m lucky to have a life partner and business partner who always encourages me to be different and create outside of the box, but a little reminder every now and then doesn’t hurt. 🙂

As for the art prints, I tried to pick pieces that went well with the theme of Chanel’s classic saying. 5 things every woman needs: luxurious heels, a Chanel bag, flawless eyebrows and eyelashes, a good lip color, and of course, a signature fragrance. Need I say more?

As a young entrepreneur who can’t stay in one place for long, I don’t like to break an arm and a leg to achieve a beautiful work space. Things break and wear a lot quicker when you’re constantly transporting them from one place to another. Don’t get me wrong — as one who works from home full-time, having a nice and comfortable office is essential. I love that with Desenio, I can get my favorite prints without breaking anything! The best part is, their items are of great quality, and did I mention, super trendy?

For those of you looking to spruce up your walls in time for the holidays or the new year, I highly recommend checking them out. Whether you’re looking to make your living room cozier or give your bedroom a makeover, you’ll be sure to find something you love on their website. To top it off, they’re currently offering 40% off posters for Cyber Monday, so don’t wait to stock up!

Where in your home would you place some new art prints?

  22. Sweet lord. I was so excited when you told me about you getting your work space spiced up with some new decor (which would be Swedish, yay us). Now seeing the result I’m in total envy! The fact is my work space looks like yours probably did before you got all this lovely decor to go with it. To answer your question would therefor be easy as I’d decorate my work space too! 😀

    1. YES! That sounds like me haha. It bugs me that my place doesn’t get much natural light like I want it to but for now it’ll do! It’d be a lot crisper with good light 😉

    1. Thanks Ellie! So happy to hear that you like what I put together! I actually hate spending on home decor but as I said, it’s because I move around a lot and just don’t like to risk my items getting damaged from all the moves lol. I can’t wait to have my own house for good so that I can splurge a little more and not feel so bad about it 😉

  73. Such a great choice for your art gallery wall! Love the touches of gold. I’ve got one against a grey and white striped wall in my bedroom. It’s got these really gorgeous illustrations by EmmaKisstina, whose fashion illustrations I totally recommend. She even makes what’s in my bag custom prints for you.

  82. I love these gorgeous prints. The quotes you chose are perfect. I always love positive sayings and words of wisdom. The closest I have to positive notes on my wall are the dozens of post it notes my hubs surprised me with on my mirror. I’m so grateful for them. I love the sweet scribbles, but would love to get frames like these soon for my desk area! Haha. Have to check them out immediately!

  84. I am so jealous of your gorgeous work space! You definitely have an eye for decorating! If fashion doesn’t work out for you could definitely have a career in interior design!

    1. Thanks Kyla! Haha for the record, my bf helped me a little! I wish my apartment had better natural light though — I think it would have looked way crisper and whiter. Oh well!
