6 new home offices with styling and storage tips



2. Curve Control

Designer: Maritza Capir
Place: Coral Gables, Florida
size: 189 square feet (18 square meters)

Homeowners request. “The homeowners wanted a functional yet stylish home office that could fit seamlessly into the overall design aesthetic of their home,” says designer Maritza Capiro. “The previous space lacked warmth, cohesiveness and efficient storage, making it feel more utilitarian than inviting. They wanted a workplace that felt luxurious, inspiring and well-organized – a place where they could concentrate while also enjoying the beauty around them. To meet these needs, we focused on creating a layout that balances functionality with visual interest. By adding custom built-ins, intentional lighting, and an attractive desk, we transformed the space into a statement-making office that supports productivity and relaxation.

Special symptoms. “The sculptural, curved desk serves as a centerpiece, combining artistry with practicality,” says Capiro. “Its soft, neutral finish complements the room’s light, airy palette while standing out as a design focal point. Black built-in cabinets provide ample storage for books and decorative items, while arched detailing adds architectural interest. The matte black finish matches beautifully with the lighter elements in the room. A statement chandelier adds texture and sophistication to the space, while a picture light on the shelves enhances the display. Light wood floors ground and warm the space, while layered textures like the area rug, upholstered chair and patterned accent chair create a welcoming and polished look. The walls are painted in a soft, neutral tone (Extra White by Sherwin-Williams) that enhances natural light and makes the room feel spacious.

Cord and document control. “To keep the space visually clean and organized, we incorporated built-ins and hidden storage within the desk,” says Capiro. “The wire is carefully tucked behind the furniture, while the desk drawers hold essential office supplies and documents. This strategy keeps everything functional but out of sight, maintaining a better overall look.”

Designer tip. “Invest in a statement desk that doubles as both a functional piece and a design focal point,” says Capiro. “Combine it with custom built-ins to ensure all storage needs are met without cluttering the room. Additionally, layers of texture through rugs, upholstery and accents can make any space feel more inviting and cohesive.
