Behind the Scenes at Simply Sona: Beauty Room Tour

Lifestyle

One of the best parts of being a full time blogger is that I get to work from home (and with my hubby!) Though we go to a lot of meetings around the city, most of the behind the scenes magic happens right here in our apartment. Since we work at home, it was important for us to set aside a designated workspace. We wanted our home offices to fit with the clean, happy aesthetic of the rest of our apartment, but be a place where we were comfortable and able to work. I thought I’d give you all a room tour of my newly decorated Beauty Room! (Look for a Beauty Room Tour video up on my YouTube channel soon!)

I film all my YouTube videos, test out new makeup products, and work on the blog here in my Beauty Room. I store all my makeup in here as well, in these super convenient Ikea drawer sets! This room is clean and minimalist, but with space to display all the things that inspire me. I was absolutely head over heels for these copper and marble shelves from CB2. Not only are they chic and perfectly metallic, they are the ideal place to store my prettiest accessories. I have another set of shelves for all my fashion and beauty books plus my favorite candles and flowers. You guys may recognize it, it’s the backdrop for a lot of my videos! And how adorable are the gold pig bookends? I actually have two sets! I keep one on my white shelf and one near the window, next to this amazing sculptural floor lamp.

My desk is clean and simple. This charcoal chair adds a nice touch to the space—the gold frame is gorgeous and looks so good with my white desk from Martha Stuart. Since I spend a decent amount of time here editing, it’s important to me to keep just a few of my favorite things nearby. My favorite part of my Beauty Room is the photo gallery from Framebridge above. I love being able to look up from my computer to see the people and things that inspire me (plus a little #girlboss reminder!) We’re actually adding another gallery wall in our living room, so we’ll be doing a post on that soon!

Some details on my desk at my beauty room tour

This adorable little gold container is the perfect place to store pencils and pens. I also have a few around the room for makeup brushes! I usually like to have a candle lit at my desk while I work, and this cube sculpture is the perfect complement. It adds just the perfect touch of gold!

Like me, KB likes to keep his desk super minimalist. His desk has a gorgeous marble tabletop and metal legs. (Can you tell that we love metallics here?) He keeps a wire sculpture with an air plant and has one of our favorite photos hanging above his desk. The frame matches the ones in my room!

We each definitely decorated our work area with our own style, but I love that there are little details that we share in each! Luckily, we have a similar taste in décor, so it was easy to make our apartment look pulled together and beautiful! We were able to use a lot of pieces that we already have, but I found a lot of new pieces from CB2. I love their clean, minimalist design. We both love working from home, and having a beautifully decorated space has made it so much easier!

I hope you enjoyed my Beauty Room Tour! What is your favorite way to decorate a room?

    Wow wow wow! Your beauty room is so nice, clean and organized. I can’t wait to watch the video about your beauty room. That pig is awsome :)))). It’s so nice that you and KB work toghether from home. You guys are so cute together, you are such a cute couple :).
    I am going to decorate my room with some stuff for my little makeup collection, I want a white makeup table, a mirror and lights, a comfortable transparent chair and some drawers to organize my makeup products. And, of course, some candles and a photo with my husband and my baby boy. I saw all these things at Ikea, so I hope that I buy them soon.
    I enjoy reading your blog, it’s so inspiring and relaxing… I used to have a beauty blog, but I had to close it because I have a baby boy now and I don’t have time anymore to write, make lots of photos, go to meeting and so on. So I really miss to have my blog, probably that’s why I love reading yours.
    XOXO, Ioana

    I LOVE your space!! It is so light and airy and it feels like a breath of fresh air, even though I have never been there. Your gallery wall is beautiful and I love all of the gold accents. I have been wanting to set up a vanity for myself for a while and I love the minimalistic look that you have created. Definitely will pin a couple of your images for inspiration :) Have an amazing time in NYC!!!

    I love love love this blog post – it’s fun to get to see where you do all the work for your videos and I also love seeing your style and what inspires you when you work. Sometimes even if I see cute pieces it’s tough to bring everything all together. What are your tips for that? Also how do you choose which pieces to buy-shapes, colors, etc? Looking forward to your video and have fun in NYC :)

  • ReplyAnna ViktoriaSeptember 9, 2016 at 2:56 am

    Room goals! I love your gallery wall, it’s perfect! I wish we had these kind of decoration stuff here in Greece, I know you can find online some stuff but still… :(
    Great and very inspiring post Sona! xo

  • ReplyFatima-Zahra LamsSeptember 9, 2016 at 7:55 am

    Hi,
    OMG, you have a very beautiful taste. I wish I had my own room to can decorate it, but I’m still in my parent’s home, sharing a room with my sister :’(.
    White and gold, that’s the best. So glam!
    It’s so important to feel good at your work office; it helps with creativity, that’s why I decorate my little desk at work with some candle, colorful pens, desk watch, colorful notebook and a cute mug. Have to stay professional LOL!
    BTW My phone broke 2 days ago, can’t see your snap stories! Feel something is missing :’(.

    Sona, your office is so beautiful, just like you!

  • ReplyJasmine RamosSeptember 10, 2016 at 12:39 am

    PERFECTION!!! It’s to die for. Everything is so simple and unique and it compliments one another. This beauty/office room can defitnely be featured in a magazine. I’m going to say that my favorite part of your beauty/office room hands down has to be the mini gallery above your desk (not just saying this because it’s your favorite too) because you’ve put up flats that have been taken by you and I think it’s something pretty cool and special. Favorite picture is you putting up the frame #GirlBoss. Sona thank god for your blog and your YouTube that always you to share your talent with others. Love you, hope to meet you and KB soon.

  • ReplyAastha GuptaSeptember 11, 2016 at 7:57 am

    It’s beautiful Sona ? We’ve got a similar taste ?You can never go wrong with white!! I love how the furniture is white with gold details and pieces around the room. Love the marble tops! Love the way you’ve mixed things around. I”m literally falling short of words. It’s gorgeous! It’s an ideal place for one to work, one can never be bored of it. I’ve always loved how you’ve done up your home. It feels like home❤️ It’s my dream to own a house like that one day. The beauty room is just beautiful!! The candles , the flowers, the tiny pieces around , the way the books are kept!! I love how you give attention to the details!! Okay I’m gonna stop saying love now ?? oh what the hell? One more time, love you ?

    This is room goals!!! ? I’ve always envisioned my house (when I leave university) to be clean and minimalistic: black and white decor with red accents as well as marble and wood to be incorporated. So these pictures totally give me inspiration as it’s something I could see my house looking like! ❤️

    • ReplySadiaSeptember 14, 2016 at 1:54 pm

      My favourite part has got to be the photo gallery though! I’ve only recently got into placing photos around my room and this looks so clean and elegant!

  • ReplyDionne LoboSeptember 19, 2016 at 12:14 pm
