When it comes to the home office, the place where we find ourselves more than ever these days, it's essential that it looks gorgeous and is optimized for productivity. Or you know, fun fun fun (wait, it's not even Friday yet...). Anyway, check out these sweet offices as they're one show-stopper after the next!

1: We love this home office for its completely neutral color palette. The warm tones really complement the stark aluminum technology pieces, but it's truly the dark wall colors that add that layer of serenity to an otherwise very busy-looking office.

2: This organized space makes use of shelving to control the clutter and breaking it up until a visual masterpiece. Sure, stacks of books may make you look cool for a bit, but it's a nasty dust magnet and isn't very practical in the long run.

3: Vintage takes hold in this home office. Old wood. Old cabinets. Old computer? Well, we guess not, but we guess when everything else is so wonderfully chic, you can go modern on something, even if it's just for raw blog browsing speed!

4: Some love to place their inspirational material around the home. We say throw it right in front of your face - right at your home office desk, to be exact! Nothing like a little bit of controlled clutter to create the ultimate working environment.

5: Playing off the similar approach of controlled chaos, this vintage lover's dream uses an extra-large picture frame to house photos and decorous images as the focal point. We also dig the lamp. Anyone know where it's from?
