I got a text message this morning from my dear friend. She and her husband are sharing office space in their home and looking to incorporate their individual color preferences; his red and hers lime green. Can it be done people? Can this husband and wife duo co-exist in a fresh, modern and functional office space WITHOUT it looking like a strawberry, watermelon or worst yet…a terrible Christmas decor mishap?
Lets see what we can find to inspire this couple…

Some of these have more muted tones than others, but I think it’s good to give options. Sometimes you think you know exactly what you want until you see something even better and maybe even unexpected.
This is a start! Let’s see if any of these inspire them. Meanwhile, I’m on the hunt for more red-lime green awesome combos…
LOVE the RUG!!!!! and the office photo…. so maybe not the bright chairs I might need to go with black????
I think so! lime green and red accessories! I love that rug too =)
Even black and whites w/ first rug. Matt has some pretty cool photographs that he’s taken? Use some of those?? Photoshoot time. It is YOUR office afterall!
Ok – so I am on the hunt for black chairs and tell matt it’s photo shoot time??
I like the idea of white chairs too. What did you decide for book shelves? Lets chat. I have another idea for photographs that I want to explain. It involves using an app. I can see it coming together! Searching for curtains next….
Ok -curtains are already green but we could probably find a better match — white is NOT good for us – WILL get dirty! Bookshelves I was thinking black…
