Discover timeless inspiration with our Classic + Collected Lookbook. Featuring a curated collection of concept boards designed to help you create interiors rooted in warmth and classic style, each look highlights thoughtfully selected pieces from brands we love.
Every board is intentionally left open-ended, giving you room to make it your own by layering in what we consider the heart of every design—vintage and antique pieces that bring soul, history, and authenticity to your home.
ABOUT THE LOOK.
Whether you’re creating a full home office or transforming a cozy corner of your living room into a functional workspace, this curated concept board is full of timeless inspiration. Each piece was selected to blend comfort, style, and practicality for a space that feels both refined and intentional.
A simple writing desk is the perfect foundation for any home office design, offering ample workspace without the visual weight of a traditional executive desk. We love the Printer’s Writing Desk from Pottery Barn featured in this design for its balanced proportions, classic lines, and turned legs. Its vintage patina adds warmth and timeless character to this design.
To complement the desk, we’ve added a linen-upholstered chair in the color Coffee Bean. Its tailored slipcover and clean silhouette perfectly blend comfort and elegance.
For a touch of old-world European charm, we finished the look with an Italian-style crystal chandelier and a framed reproduction moody still life print.

COMPLETE THE LOOK: PAIR OUR CURATED ANTIQUE & VINTAGE HOME ACCENTS.
In every design, it’s the finishing touches that brings a workspace to life, and we believe vintage and antique accents do it best.
To complete the home office look above, begin by layering the desk with a decorative table lamp. A vintage brass or aged stone lamp instantly adds old-world charm and pairs beautifully with the refined lines of a simple writing desk. Stack a few antique books nearby to introduce color, texture, and interest.
Finally, add a few decorative objects that reflect your personal style. A small sculpture or piece of aged pottery brings form and texture, giving the space a warm, collected look.
