Here is how the furniture, light, and circulation are arranged.

SpaceHome office multiroom
Layout axisThe navy bookshelf wall and long desk face each other, while the center floor remains open for work and reading.
Focal pointThe open bookshelf on the deep navy wall and the long wood desk on the right.
LightDiffused light enters through the large window, while recessed ceiling lights and a desk lamp support the work surface.
Main surfacesDeep navy painted wall, open bookshelf, long wood desk, pale stone-look floor, sheer and taupe curtains, white ceiling.
Furniture densityThe bookshelf, desk, task chair, and lounge chair are present, but the center is kept open for multiuse.
Circulation and open spaceClear floor remains near the window and room center, so the space does not feel packed with office furniture.

Keep these points in mind when recreating a similar mood.

Paint one wall deep navy and mount the bookshelf there so work and reading have a clear visual backdrop.
Place a long wood desk on the opposite side so laptop work, writing, and task lighting align in one line.
Keep the center floor open so the room can still support reading, music, and flexible use.
Use a pale stone-look floor and sheers so the navy wall does not darken the whole room.
Combine recessed ceiling lights with a desk lamp, allowing bright daytime use and desk-focused evening light.

You can also review the conditions to check in your own space and the materials that shape this look.

Condition to check
If a navy wall makes the room feel small
Adjustment
Limit navy to the bookshelf wall and keep the floor, ceiling, and window area pale.
Condition to check
If a long desk blocks circulation
Adjustment
Reduce desk depth and secure the chair pull-back space before matching the wall length.
Condition to check
If open shelves easily look messy
Adjustment
Group books by height and color loosely, and keep books more dominant than display items.
Condition to check
If the window reflects on the desk screen
Adjustment
Layer sheers and heavier curtains, and avoid placing the screen directly facing the window.
Condition to check
If work and rest functions compete
Adjustment
Split desk and lounge zones by wall, leaving the center open for movement and a guitar or small item storage.

The materials and finishes behind the look break down by area as follows.

Color / tone: deep navy
Texture / finish: nearly matte dark blue wall surface
Role: creates a focused backdrop behind books and the lounge chair
Check: Check that it keeps a blue depth rather than turning black in day and evening light.

Color / tone: walnut brown
Texture / finish: thin shelves with books running along one wall
Role: turns the navy wall into a real reading and storage background
Check: Check that display items do not outnumber the books and weaken the study feel.

Color / tone: medium wood
Texture / finish: long, simple wood work surface
Role: organizes laptop, lamp, and writing area in one line
Check: Check that the depth allows the chair to pull back without blocking the center path.

Color / tone: warm gray beige
Texture / finish: white sheers layered with muted heavier curtains
Role: softens daylight and controls contrast between the screen and navy wall
Check: Check that the room does not become too dark when the curtains are closed.

Color / tone: brass gold
Texture / finish: small metal shade with warm local light
Role: focuses evening light on the long work surface
Check: Check that it does not reflect directly in the monitor or framed art.
