DECORATE: living room w/ home office

Decorating a small living room is challenging as is. What if you have to make extra room for you home office? Those of you who work from their tiny apartment know exactly what I mean. In today's hypothetical DECORATE scenario we'll be dealing with this case; a typical 3.9m*5.2m (42*56 square feet) room that serves as a living room and home office.

Firstly, I've created two visual zones to separate the two different functions. The living room space is defined by the corner sofa and the rug and is located next to the balcony door, whereas the smaller home office zone has the desk and the wall shelving.

I've picked a cushy corner sofa as the main seating option and I skipped the armchair on purpose. Instead, I prefered a floor cushion for it is lighter and easier to move around. I also used a wall lamp instead of a floor one for the same reason. The furniture and accessories for this room are light and airy with a subtle vintage aura (like the amazing desk) or a delicate industrial flair (like the cabinet). 

As for the color palette, I played with grays, pastels and some brass and copper hues on a white canvas (I was thinking the floor might be a light hardwood one).

You can see all the products I used for this room decoration after the jump. Please, leave a comment with your feedback. I'd love to see what you think of this room!
