Help! I need design advice for my home office.

Question by On a cloudy day: Help! I need design advice for my home office.
Okay, so i have a really boring cluttered home office and i really need help. It has white walls (blech) and a lot of black and dark cherry wood furniture. I really would like to keep with the cherry wood.

Unfortunately i have a bland, uncomfortable futon (blue "mattress" with black "supports") that i can't get rid of. I also cannot get rid of the large map of town and the large high school class pictures displayed on the wall. (though i would appreciate some help on how to display them, right now its pretty much one, then below, another...)

Anyone have any ideas for wall color ( i REALLY need help with that) and what i can do about the futon and what i should do about the wall displays and etc?

Right now my home office is very cold, bland and unattractive-looking. I really want to soften it up while keeping the pieces i already have (2 end tables, 2 desks, a book shelf, all in dark cherry wood. Also the futon, though it seriously needs help).

Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!

Answer by Honk if you're Amish
Get a dark brown futon COVER for the futon, paint the walls crimson, get some vanilla votive and candles and put them in brushed metal, tall holders. Have fun!

Need Advice for Office Without Windows or Natural Light?

Question by Natural Light: Need Advice for Office Without Windows or Natural Light?
I have always had nice large windows in my office at work. I will be starting a new job soon, which I am excited about, except for one thing-- my office will be an interior office, i.e. no windows, no natural light. I really love natural light and I'm afraid that this set-up will give me headaches, low productivity, etc. Does anyone experience these problems while working in an interior office? Also, is there anything I can do to make the office feel more comfortable? Thank you for your help.

Go with some lamps, natural light bulbs, and turn the ceiling lights OFF
