Home Office Wall Furniture

I have a square room with large windows on the south wall, a smaller window on the east wall, a closet on the north wall, and an empty east wall. I have a large bookcase, a small cabinet, and two desks I am trying to arrange to be practical but not overwhelm and crowd the room, especially since it's all dark wood furniture. I've tried angling some of the pieces, separating the desks, putting the desks together to increase my workspace . . . I'm just confusing myself? Any suggestions? And please don't suggest those furniture arranging programs, I'd really just like to hear people's actual visions for arranging the furniture. Thank you!

How about putting one desk under the south window...then use the 2nd desk to form an L shape...(unless a 2nd person will be using this desk). If 2 people will be using the desks, put them under the south windows facing each other.

Then put the large bookcase on the east wall... under the window or beside it...with the small cabinet on the north wall (by the closet door).

With this arrangement, you can see out both windows and the door.

Have you thought about painting the desks a lighter color so the room won't be full of dark wood?

Should the window be in front of me? to my right/left?

It should face the wall..if it faces the window you will be looking at the sun against a screen that is bright..your eyes will regret it...have the back of the screen facing the wall so you can have the blinds open in the morning while catchhing up on e mail etctera while having your tea or coffee..You will have to keep the blinds closed with it against the window

I've decided to turn an extra bedroom into a home office. So far it is a blank canvas sort of speak. I have been looking all over the internet for some ideas on wall color, but I haven't found any that I really like. I will be able to match my furniture to whatever the color is, so that won't be an issue. Any suggestions??
My other rooms are neutral. I wouldn't mind having some color, but I don't want anything too dark. It won't be a professional office. Just more of a computer room type. But I want it to be "adult".

A simple sage is a great color with a touch of serenity. A taupe color will be a great neutral and I'd say go with a light grayish blue with white or black molding around your room ( I said grayish blue because I think a light blue would be too child like for an office)

Need to re-paint my home office/guest bedroom. Carpet is milk chocolate color, office furniture is a sort of blonde color contemporary style. Thinking of a pale yellow, but will that make the furniture fade away? Can't do green...too much of that in other rooms.

I think you are in the right hue. How about a true cream? Ceiling white. Other than that you could go an appealing shade of tan with some red accents in the room. Have fun.

We recently bought a home with "unique" taste. I am looking to renovate a bedroom that will become our home office. It used to be an 8 year old's bedroom with aqua blue walls and a dolphin border.
I am looking for a traditional/contemporary look- crown molding, big dark brown leather chair with ottoman, bookcase, and dark colored desk. There will be a lot of dark wood and dark leather in the room and I would like to pull up the carpet and lay very dark, thick wood flooring. Other than a tasteful colorful rug, what recommendations would you make for wall color, trim/crown molding finish and accent pieces?

I think that you should paint the room like a light brown or tan because this color goes really well with dark brown colors.
