You’ll love this “Office at the Coast” mood board, sweet friends! Imagine how inspired you would feel if you could bring the ocean indoors. Home office design ideas are at the top of our minds, given how many of us are still working from home. I am a firm believer in choosing quality pieces that will last. If you love it, why not love it for longer, right?!
11 Ways to Style Your Dream Home “Office at the Coast”

4. Slip-Covered Parsons Chair
“I might be in the minority here, but I am not a huge proponent of a standard desk chair in my home office. I will always choose something beautiful but comfortable. Insert Parsons Chair here. I also love that this one is slip-covered. “No worries if I spill my coffee. It’s an easy fix!”
