Since your room gets plenty of sunlight your color options are quite broad.
For your main color, we chose to use white/off-white as it offers a fresh, clean, feel to the space. White and off-white colors are often a favorite for walls because they are light, neutral, and match most color schemes. They are known to make rooms feel more airy and spacious.
Use an eggshell finish paint which has a very light touch of shine (similar texture to an eggshell as implied by its name). This finish is very often used for walls and is more durable and easier to clean than matte finish

Project Title:
Sleek & Minimalistic Home Office & Kitchen Remodel
Project Description:
We’re combining these two rooms in the same project since they’re right next to each other and we want the design to feel cohesive. We also want it to match the family room and dining room design that was also completed by Decorilla (designer: Maya Mhanna). After completing the project, we absolutely love this space, which is why we’ve returned to Decorilla with more rooms to redesign.
Executive Home Office: This was originally a dining room, but after we built an addition, we moved the dining room to the middle of the house (see floor plan and pictures of non-project rooms). Now, we want to turn the old 'dining room' into a functional home office where my wife can run our real estate business. This room should convey a sense of power.

What do you currently dislike about the room?:
• The kitchen "triangle" feels cramped—opening the fridge, cooking at the island, and rinsing dishes before loading the dishwasher is a challenge. I think we can solve this problem by switching the location of the sink and dishwasher. This will avoid the problem we have when the open dishwasher blocks the path between the eating area and the sink.
• A larger, practical sink is a must.
• We're eager for a bigger island for food prep and entertaining.
• The cupboard doors, though appreciated, show chipped paint. Re-spray or replace?
• Explore creative options to fit more seating around the island (see picture) and consider adding a banquette by the window.
• A coffee bar and additional wine storage are desired. It's also important to create a discreet space for our son's diabetes supplies.
• Extra fridge space is needed.
• Soft materials and soundproofing to improve acoustics

15% Off |  | Modernist French designer Pierre Paulin was a pioneer in low-level living – a new approach to sitting introduced in the 1960s that bid adieu to chair legs and embraced low-slung profiles set close to the ground for easy, laid-back lounging. The Pacha Chair (1975) is a prime example of that: Set on a slim metal base that raises it just a few inches off the ground, the whimsical Pacha cozily envelops the sitter with its rounded, organic form. Available with a fixed or swivel base. Made in Lithuania. | Order & Save | 15% Off | |
16% Off |  | The Hew Side Table is a celebration of organic shapes inspired by the forest. Designer Pat Kim has created a family of whimsical forms that each have a distinct personality. Working out of his Brooklyn studio, Kim is enchanted with the lathe and the shapes it encourages. “I’ll often take a bunch of wood scraps and start turning them just for form exploration,” he says. The Hew Side Table (2018) derived from those musings. “With wood, I get to basically play all the time.” Made in Poland. | Order & Save | 16% Off |

His Dulwich Extension Table (2016) - pronounced “dull-itch,” just like its London neighbor Greenwich - is a masterclass in function and craft. The piece’s slender legs draw outward from the corners, maximizing user legroom, while details like mitered joints and visible through-tenons speak to its artistry. Finished with a solid-wood edge banding for durability, the tabletop has a locking steel mechanism that easily opens to accommodate the table’s additional leaves. | Order & Save | 15% Off | |
