Cosy, organic interiors can be found inside the 10 offices in this lookbook, which appear more like stylish homes than workplaces.
Designers have added green plants, wood-clad walls, softly curved shapes and stone details to these offices to create welcoming, warm spaces.
Instead of traditional streamlined and sterile-looking workplaces, these 10 examples show how the right details can help create offices that resemble living rooms, resulting in more friendly spaces for employees to relax and socialise in.
This is the latest roundup in our Dezeen Lookbooks series that provide visual inspiration for designers and design enthusiasts. Previous lookbooks include homes with exposed brickwork, domestic gyms, bohemian hotels and homes featuring cross-laminated timber.
Douglas House, UK, by Note Design Studio

A curvilinear glass wall, ceramic tiles and wood panelling add a tactile touch, while playful details such as Muller van Severen's yellow lamps create a joyful vibe that may even make people want to stay in the office after work.
