When Catherine reached out to Seeded, her home office was doing too much—and not enough. The space was overrun with a king-sized bed and leftover furniture, serving as a half-hearted office, guest room, and movie zone.
She envisioned something entirely different: a functional workspace with file storage, a Zoom-friendly background, and a comfortable spot for guests—all with a clean, sophisticated aesthetic.
Enter Nicolle, one of Seeded’s designers with an eye for quiet drama and intentional details. Catherine gravitated toward high-contrast concepts—crisp white, graphic black, warm woods—and Nicolle brought that vision to life in a way that felt refined, not rigid.
Catherine had a clear preference for a black, white, and wood palette, and Nicolle leaned into that—balancing clean lines and graphic contrast with soft, natural textures. The rattan-trimmed desk chair and woven nightstands bring in warmth and tactility, while black accents—like the table lamps and framed art—anchor the look.
A Place for Everything
Nicolle incorporated not just a beautiful design, but one that works. A white desk tucked under the window provides a productive work zone with a calm backdrop for video calls.
A Zoom backdrop that doesn’t scream ‘home office.’ The once-awkward TV now feels intentional, floating above a low console that blends light wood tones with a hint of texture. A trio of vertical frames and a hanging plant bring dimension to the walls without clutter.
A Design That Works Hard—So Catherine Doesn’t Have To
This wasn’t just a makeover. It was a reclaiming of space. Every corner now has purpose: work zone, guest nook, reading spot, and even a discreet home for a too-large TV. Nicolle didn’t just decorate; she designed a lifestyle upgrade that feels calm, cohesive, and completely Catherine.
