“I wanted to create a chill and peaceful vibe in our garden office. I love the boho scandi look, so went for a neutral palette of natural oak, soft cream and forest green, with touches of gold here and there. It feels so calming which is great when I’ve got a busy day of meetings and a long to-do list at work.”
Lucinda’s top pick: Lounge Co. Colette 2 Seater Sofa
“Normally desks are at the heart of a garden office, but I loved the idea of adding a sofa to make it a chill space for the weekends too. I chose the Lounge Co. Colette sofa in Woodland Moss because of its classic mid-century silhouette and super cosy seats.”
Lucinda’s top pick: George The Monkey Gold Table Lamp
“I like to put my own stamp on things and immediately fell in love with this quirky gold monkey lamp. It’s so cute and brightens up the office in the evenings!”
“To make my garden office feel as cosy as possible, I made sure to add lots of textures around the office like cushions, shaggy throws and soft-pile rugs. They’re perfect for upping the cosy factor in any space and make it feel like home.”
Lucinda’s top pick: Reine Mirror
“Garden offices tend to be on the smaller side, so to make it feel bigger we added this gorgeous full-length mirror to reflect all the natural light that filters through the windows. It feels so light and airy now which is a real bonus when we have to keep the doors shut in the colder months.”
“I’m a proud plant mum and obsessed with dotting different plants throughout my home. My garden office was, of course, no exception. I styled a couple of tropical plants with some coffee table books and wall art. They help clean the air and are supposed to reduce feelings of stress too.”
“My top garden office idea would be to make sure you have a workspace you really love working at. For me, that means an ergonomic chair and a desk in a style that makes me feel inspired and productive. Don’t forget to try out chairs in-store before you buy!”

Lucinda’s top pick: Ercol Marlia Chair
“Accent chairs double up as a great break-out space and reading spot when I don’t fancy sitting at my desk. Plus, they create a social hub we can invite friends and family to during the warmer summer months. I chose these beautiful solid oak chairs that are handmade right here in the UK by iconic furniture designers, Ercol.”
Lucinda’s top pick: Asterope Floor Lamp
“No garden office is complete without a statement floor lamp! This elegant orb design adds a touch of subtle glam to my scandi space and allows me to work into the evenings on my passion projects.”

Creating symmetry is the key to this look. "Achieving balance and proportion with your furniture will give your space a natural flow," says Bana. Match lamps on either side of a fireplace or place identical armchairs next to each other to bring calm and order to your interior. Keep the layout balanced with thoughtfully placed accessories and zone areas using rugs to establish a sense of harmony. Echoing style notes throughout the space - like gold details or marble accents - also reinforced unity.
A timeless palette of soft neutrals like taupe, grey and brown offsets the opulent backdrop. "Muted shades infuse the space with sophistication without overwhelming the senses," explains Bana. Layer soft tones to add depth and warmth while mixing in greys and creams to enhance the less-is-more ambience. To make it even more inviting, consider a soft linen bedspread or upholstered divan for luxurious lie-ins.
In true Parisian fashion, this look thrives on the contrast of old and new. "Heirlooms sit side by side with modern pieces for a timeless feel," advises Bana. Experiment with different eras: place mid-century armchairs next to a contemporary stone coffee table or a vintage mirror above a modern console table. This unique mix of period charm and clean-lined design adds a refreshing cosmopolitan flair to an otherwise classic look.
Next up, introduce soft metallics for a touch of glamour. "Flashes of chrome, gold or bronze amplify your room’s light and warmth," suggests Bana. Metallic accessories such as mirrors, cushions and decorative trays reflect light and bring a subtle sheen to forgotten corners. “Embrace small details like a gilded frame or brushed bronze drawer handles to infuse your space with a natural Parisian elegance that feels chic yet understated.”
"Don’t be afraid to embrace ornate touches," says Bana. Whether it's a delicately carved marble bust or a richly textured rug, luxe accents elevate your key pieces. Elsewhere, invite the comfort of plush velvet sofas, soft cushions and sumptuous textiles to enhance the richness of your room and create an intimate setting that’s perfect for both quiet moments and lively soirées.
