Gigi Hadid's office makes this designer-approved storage solution look so stylish

While office design should be functional, it doesn't need to have a utilitarian look. In fact, with creative storage solutions, stylish furniture, and a carefully planned color scheme, an office can be one of the chicest spaces in the home. By using open-concept shelving filled with colorful decorative objects and plants, model Gigi Hadid achieves this goal.

Gigi took to Instagram to show off her stylish office idea for her brand Guest in Residence. The model's office includes a navy, velvet window seat in front of white, open-concept shelves. Gigi's shelves are filled with a rattan box, a baby bonsai tree, hanging pothos, a stylish watering can, and Pantone Solid Chips. 

Gigi Hadid's shelves serve as more than simply office storage. The shelves look ultra-stylish and design experts approve. First, the experts say, they love how these open-concept shelves make a room feel more expansive. Mohammad Ahmed, interior designer at The Home Guidance states, 'Open shelves have this uncanny ability to make a room feel, well, open. As opposed to bulky cabinets or closed bookcases, these shelves give your space a more airy and expansive feel.'

He continues, 'If you're working with a space that's, let's say, a tad on the cozy side, open shelving can be your best buddy. By removing the visual weight of closed cabinets, you're essentially giving your room an instant space boost.'
