How to Decorate a Home Office in Black With Mahogany or Cherry

Paint the home office walls sage green with an eggshell finish. This light green brightens a space with black and cherry or mahogany furniture.

Hang white sheer curtains on windows to enhance natural lighting and provide privacy for your office space.

Place an area rug that features cherry reds, tans and light green colors beneath where the desk will go, most likely in front of the window. This can be placed over neutral carpeting or wood floors.

Set a mahogany or cherry wood colored desk on the area rug along with a black leather office chair. Place them in front of a window area facing in the direction you prefer.

Line an adjacent wall with black bookshelf units. Purchase three of four shelf units and stack them to create a varied height bookshelf wall. Shelving should go from shortest near the desk to tallest away from the desk.

Use a wood file cabinet that matches your desk. Stain or paint to match perfectly.

Accessorize the desk and bookshelf with reds, greens and blacks. Use colored glass and vintage collectibles to create texture and interest.

Feature a large art print on an empty wall or over the shortest bookcase. The art print should reflect the primary colors in the room.
