In the South it is often common for
a household to have one room designated for the man’s study/office/library. The
Man’s study is commonly decorated in plaids, navy, leather furniture,
over-sized chairs, a television, horse pictures, war pictures, or ship
pictures, and of course some men’s study contain taxidermy {shudder, I know…}
this is the South after all where hunting is a common hobby. Call me old
fashion, but I like the man’s study, it just adds a certain decorative element
to the house that is different from the rest of the house but flows well at the
same time.; besides on more then one occasion I have heard people say a woman has her house and the man has his study. Here are some tips and inspirationfor decorating a man's study!
Dark wood floors warmed by
Oriental area rugs is a great start for a room reserved for a man's study
A man’s study is commonly
painted in dark colors, hardwood walls, or fabric walls. I also like how books
can be used in a man’s office as an added element of design.
The desk in a man’s study should make a statement whether it is a modern desk or a classic oak desk that
has been passed down
When designing a man’s study it
is important not to neglect the ceiling because you want to ceiling to stay in
style with the rest of the room. Exposed beams look great in a man’s study.
It's it bad that I want one of these for me? Except with dashes of pink.
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with that chair in the first pic.
I love over-sized chairs! You should check out my Home Office Inspiration post {http://www.atouchofsoutherngrace.blogspot.com/2013/08/home-office-inspiration.html} for the dashes of pink :)
DeleteI absolutely LOVE man's studies! My grandpa has one and it's always been my favorite room in their home :) I just love the old leather furniture, books and a classic crystal decanter :)

DeleteI love the fireplace in the last one pictured. I like the idea of a Man's Study in the home, all those rooms you pictured reminds me of the board game Clue. Now you just need a secret passage!

DeleteWhen I think of a study I always think of Gilmore Girls and the grandfather's study!
ReplyDeleteThe Gilmore Girls is one of my favorite shows, that show and Sex and the City never gets old!
Deletei too love this idea, or anything similar to a library! Definitely want something like this in my house constructed with cherry wood!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the very kind comment!!
DeleteBecause not only can tastefully selected office furniture add to the overall décor of the office but it is also a crucial tool in creating a pleasant work environment. For sure any business would want their organization to be a cherished place to work in, where employees not just come to work but rather 'love' to work. Best study chair in India
ReplyDeleteI ask myself what advantage it will be if the greater part of these immature nations have individuals in the administration who are knowledgeable and in the event that they could give appropriate consideration regarding the training segment of the nation all together for the adolescent to create and have the option to reposition the nation as they are been called pioneers of tomorrow.
