Gold and white is always a chic choice, but it’s also very bright and homey as well. The best of both worlds, if you ask me! Go traditional with painted wood and ornate chairs, or go contemporary with glass and metal furniture.
11. Cozy Eclectic

Can’t decide on just one theme for your home office makeover? You don’t have to! Create your own unique, eclectic mix of different styles—retro, vintage, boho, mid-century, you name it. Keep a consistent theme throughout by using common materials for furniture, or even shades and colors.
12. Clean White
