Theodore Alexander Althorp Living History The Princess of Wales Bedroom Fall Front Desk & Bureaux

In our home office, I had a hard time deciding what this room was missing, and this desk turned out to be the answer. I was aiming for a more connected look across the room, and this ended up being the right direction. There is enough character to notice without making the space feel busy. I would make the same decision for our home office again.

The best part is that this piece looks intentional in our study without asking for all the attention. What surprised me was how natural it felt with pieces we already had, especially after we stopped fussing with the arrangement.

From the first glance across the study, what I like most about the piece is how naturally it belongs in the room. What surprised me was how much calmer the room seemed, especially when I look at the room as a whole.
