A Red Chair Adds a Focal Point to a Wood and White Home Office

Let the red chair define the color balance

The chair's red is the first thing you notice. Quiet desk and wall colors let one chair become the focal point. A strong color is concentrated on one substantial object rather than scattered everywhere.

Look at your current desk and chair together before trying a red accent scheme. If the chair is already vivid, the mat and organizers need not match. See whether the chair is enough before adding smaller red accessories.

Light wood grain and a white frame create the foundation

The wood desktop provides a warm base between screen and chair. The white frame keeps the lower area light, while a cork-colored mat groups the input devices in a shade close to the desktop. The palette is limited, but the textures vary.
