An Office that Works! from Esther

I live in small co-op garden style unit. I am planning to purchase original home office furniture. My organizer suggests my color choices are not ok….

The space is without windows (dark) and unfinished except for light wood floor. Paint to come later might be white, light gray or one wall silver metalic don’t know yet. Lighting to be added for desk and there is a ceiling light fixture to be changed. The space is open to living room which has yet to be furnished or painted. Idea is to have light gray neutrals/ white for living room too. I plan to add color and make changes of color with assessories. Our organizing efforts are stalled until I get furniture. I like the idea of having white hutch and cabinets; black work tops for both credenza and desk. She says work tops should match cabinets below. I want to keep it light and bright and I don’t like brown. What do you think of the white and black combination?

Dear Esther:

We have to agree with your organizer. We feel that you should keep the office furniture white. You can always accessorize with the black.
