Affordable Decor That Turned My Home Office Into A French Countryside Dream
By Lauren Cipriano
A budget-friendly escape to Provence without leaving the country…
I didn’t need a plane ticket to Provence, just a few Prime orders and a vision. After one too many WFH days surrounded by tangled cords and cold gray walls, I decided it was time for a change. Not a renovation, but a romantic reset. Think: toile prints, gilded frames, lavender diffusers, and all the charm of a French countryside cottage without leaving your zip code. Below are the exact pieces I used to bring this vision to life. It’s chic, calming, and cozy, but more importantly, it makes even answering emails feel like an aesthetic experience.
