White on white office styling and where to shop the look

Lately I’ve been spending way more time in my office than usual and it was starting to look like a bomb hit! I was getting so distracted by the mess, productivity had gone out the window. Rather than just declutter and tidy, I figured while I was at it I’d also give my office a makeover.

Steve Cordony’s favourite trend this season is white on white and after having some gelato tones in my office for a little while now, I liked the idea of striping things back to a more monochromatic palette. This fresh new white on white look is so crisp, you might just be inspired to give it a go too.

Less is more

Strip everything back to create a blank canvas to begin your styling. A white desk is ideal but if you don’t have one, you could place a white placemat on your desktop like the grid one I’ve used below the keyboard.

You can also upcycle an old desk. This desk was originally a chrome and glass corner desk that I did a little hack on to turn it into the long, more contemporary-looking desk it is now. Essentially I just removed the corner section of the desk to create two individual sets of legs, spray painted these matte black and then got a large piece of MDF from Bunnings cut to size to be the new desk surface. I share all the desk upcycle steps in this article. Easy, inexpensive and a great way of using what I already had.

White stationery

As the name of this post suggests, white office styling involves a lot of white stationery and decor! I picked up some cute notepads, a desktop calendar with solid brass base, and essentials like tape dispenser and pens.

You may like to display these in an office vignette, similar to how I did below. Alternatively, you could find a functional office desk organiser to have a place for everything and everything in its place.

White decor

To complete the look I also treated myself to some white-hot decor including a white desk clock from Purely Wall Clocks.

I’m always listening to music when I work and with Patrick now sleeping in the room next to my office rather than the temporary nursery we made for him upstairs, I’ll need to be a bit quieter at night. These new Regent headphones from Sudio Sweden are wireless and you can personalise them by changing the caps you put over the ears. Love them. (If you’d like to buy a pair of headphones from Sudio Sweden, use discount code ‘STYLECURATORAU’ for 15% off.)

I never drink enough water so I’m hoping this stylish Fressko flask will remind me to stay hydrated. It’s actually an infuser too so I can use it for tea or infused water.

And of course, I’ve got to have a candle burning and fresh blooms from my faves Barton Flower Bar.

I hope you enjoyed this little peek around my newly styled office. If you have any questions or comments, I’d love you to chat below!
