Things are Looking Up
In their office, Tali Roth and Tina Rich show that you don’t have to sacrifice style for function, elevating the uncluttered space with cheerful colors and a diagonal stripe on the ceiling that serves as the focal point of the room.
Handsome Hideaway
A study by Pencil & Paper Co. channels the dapper side of preppy, with a clean-lined Parsons desk, graphic modern art and dark walls edged in a Greek key tape.
Calm and Collected
At Hubert de Givenchy and Philippe Venet’s Manoir du Jonchet, a simple wooden a-frame desk plays off the mix of casual slipcovered and rattan seating.
Sensual Spare
For a study in neutrals by Sarah Bartholomew, it’s all about nuanced textures and patterns, with fluted plaster walls, subtle geometric floors, an ebony-hued writing desk and a faint stripe at the windows.
Laid Back
A brass desk doubling as a nightstand makes for a sharp and striking contrast to the tie-dye-pattern headboard in an informal bedroom by Jessie Preza.
Drawing the Line
Mona Ross Berman leaves no surface unattended, using a matching fabric and wallpaper to create a polished, pulled-together backdrop for a handsome mid-century style desk.
Staying in Neutral
With a collection of midcentury furniture, Moroccan and Native American textiles, fashion illustrations, leather and cowhide accents and a graphic black accent wall, Michael Berkowitz warms up a dining-meets-work spot in an otherwise bland New York City studio apartment.
Casually Chic
A classic bleached wood secretary desk makes a subtle statement against a symphony of other natural textures—pale stone, wicker, rattan—in this supremely serene bedroom by Tom Scheerer.
