Farmhouse Office // Chair + Trestle Desk Pairings

THE FARMHOUSE Our backordered office chairs recently arrived and goodness, what a difference they've made.  Who knew that a comfortable/tilting/swiveling/rolling office chair would be the key to an enjoyable work space?!

Okay that was a facetious question.  A comfortable seat is obviously a key ingredient to any good work space, but honestly, I was surprised just how key they have been.  Suddenly I find myself sitting in the office any chance I get.  And that makes these chairs worth every single penny...especially considering I bought them during a 25% off sale ;)

Strangely West Elm seems to have discontinued our high back Helvetica chairs, but they still have the lower back option plus there's a TON of other great chairs out there.  So today, I thought I'd share a few great office chairs paired with my favorite style of desk (and what we have in our own office), the trestle desk.

Really all of these pieces could be mixed and matched, but I paired them as I did our own office, with a mix of natural and light elements.  Our desk is of course a DIY project with Ikea trestle legs and a marble countertop (it's actually the rest of the 3'x8', 2cm slab we bought for the Porch House kitchen backsplash), but I love these options too, especially the center one even if it's not technically a trestle desk.

Well I can't wait to finish up our office, but in the meantime, you can get caught up with what we've done thus far here: office design, office cabinet, and a progress update.
