Warmth and polish define this transitional home office: a light oak pedestal desk faces a wall of walnut built-ins styled with books and rattan baskets. A black metal arched window brings daylight, echoed by cove lighting and alabaster sconces. Dark herringbone floors ground a cognac leather sling chair and upholstered desk chair, while brass touches—the library ladder and dome lamp—unite classic millwork with streamlined, contemporary lines.
