In decorating a home office for herself and her husband, a landscape architect naturally wanted to bring the outdoors in
By Tim Gavan Aug. 29, 2019 1:11 pm ET IF THE NATURAL state of man is to frolic, carefree and naked, through the forests, it’s no wonder we balk at the high-stress confines of the modern office cubicle. When planning their workspace at home, landscape architect Bryce Brock and her forester husband, Seth, wanted to create a fresh, unrestrictive aesthetic—the sort of home office in which our most primitive selves might happily scrutinize spreadsheets.
To bring the landscape in without creating counterproductive distractions, Ms. Brock relied on neutral earth tones and an abundance of soothing white. She paired touchably organic elements, like a cowhide rug and woven planters, with harder-nosed minimalist workplace staples like a sleek, well-camouflaged filing cabinet. A large bookcase full of greenery and family photos provides some healthy separation for the spouses without alienating them completely.
Find a Shady Spot The knotty imperfections of a burl-wood lamp contribute organic charm, while a white linen shade “adds scale and romance, and [mellows] the harsh light of bare bulbs,” said Ms. Brock.

Poppin, the company that produces it, “does a great job of making all the necessary evils of an office feel fun and streamlined,” said Ms. Brock.
