Decorating an Office with Old World Charm

I’ve always loved the look of those dusty old offices you see in moves—the ones with old leather chairs, architect stools and drafting tables, lots of drawered cabinets, and gorgeous vintage lamps of all kinds. Those offices make me think of Indiana Jones movies.

To get the look (minus the dust), check out the ideas and inspiring photos below:

These vintage-looking lamps are a nice touch, and an easy way to add some old-world charm to an otherwise modern home office:

Here’s an antique drafting table  from 1st Dibs:

And here are some new pieces:

What do you think of this look and would you like to include elements of it in your home office?

    I don't know if I'd get any work done in an office like this but I like the look of some of them!

      I know what you mean – I like them aesthetically, but they might be a bit too . . . messy?!
