Rachel Zoe's Stunning Office Space

I often find myself endlessly searching for office space inspiration. While creativity and its ability to flow naturally within the confines is of the utmost importance, my need for functionality nearly trumps all desires for pleasing aesthetics. To my surprise, Rachel Zoe's headquarters blends both aspects of my "perfect work environment" vision beautifully. A bureau of designer duds, shoes, handbags, and accessories, Rachel's office houses room for her to create wonderfully timeless pieces while at the same time offering organizational structure which allows her to continuously build upon and expand her one-woman empire from a business aspect. It's rare to come across a creatively structured space (an oxymoron in my book), but when I do, it is oh so sweet.


My most favorite aspect of Rachel Zoe's office is that of her nail polish collection adorned with cocktail rings; a simple yet telling reminder to enjoy the smallest of things in life.

Amazing! The whole space is like a dream come true! I can't help but feel just a "pang" of jealously here.

She's such a mogul, and I'd looove to do my (totally not applicable) work in her office for just one day! It's so inspiring and OPEN, which i love!

I could absolutely get work done in a space like that. The little details of added cocktail bling to the nail polish rack is just perfect.

Viviana said...

Uhhh, the clutch shelf is heavenly!!! Thanks for sharing.

Karla said...

this is a great space... not overdecorated... except for his obvious huge collection of shoes which we can all understand from her! great idea about the nail polish! I really like that the rooms feel like she actually decorated them naturally..

Lena at A Crimson Kiss said...

What fabulous space! I'm designing our new office, and I have a sneaky suspicion I'll be back for more inspiration!

Sal {Daniel and I} said...

I'm a big fan of all things Rachel Zoe - especially her house that they featured in the last season of her show. It's bright, white and simple! LOVE it.

You're right, something so simple like the cocktail rings on the polish can be so memorable! I want to go top all my polishes off with cocktail rings now lol! Love seeing the creative spaces where others work (especially ZOE!) Hope you have a lovely week, sweets! xo

I am seriously and unreasonably jealous of her nail polish collection. Although she is seriously missing out on Essie - it is the best brand out there.

I now want to repaint nails. Thanks for the inspiration Annemarie :)

Koru Kate {Koru Wedding} said...

I wish this was my closet :-)

Julie and Lauren said...

Totally agree- love everything she does! XO

Rachel {Little Bits of Lovely} said...

I know what you mean about balancing aesthetics with functionality - it is so important to achieve both! Rachel's office is a delight; I adore the glamourous touches she has added but can also see how beautifully functional it is - I think a lot of this is due to the size of the space she has - look at those shoes! Such a fabulous workspace xx

Lauren Mizrahi said...

Wouldn't you love to just go shopping in here or be trapped overnight here! Love the post!

Why am I not surprised that even her office is immaculate? Rachel Zoe is the epitome of style, even with her office space.

I think it's only apropos to use Rachel's own catch phrases in reference to her space. "I die" and "It's bananas" are what I'm feeling.

Neda said...

Such a cool space...and the nail polish collection is out of this world. I love office inspiration! xx

Amanda Grieve said...

Oh my gosh the shoes!!! Love it. The cocktail rings on the nail polish is really cute too.

It's a beautiful space, and I especially love all the natural light. RZ has made great use of an already very large space. Most of us have to be creative in much, much smaller spaces! I love that clutch collection. :)
