JUST JULLY'S OFFICE

When I first connected with Jully, a fashion and beauty content creator in Atlanta, I knew her office needed to feel like an extension of her identity — equal parts creative hub and cultural tribute. Inspired by design elements from Los Angeles to India, I blended deep, grounding tones with rich textures and materials: brass, marble, and a hint of old-world architecture.

One of my favorite details was framing a Sabyasachi wallpaper as a statement backdrop for her Zoom calls and content shoots. Rather than committing to an entire wall, this approach allowed the piece to travel with her to future spaces — and avoided the overwhelm that sometimes comes with highly patterned walls. We limewashed the room in Portola Paints for soft dimension and layered in versatile pieces that felt both refined and functional.

Since content creators need generous work surfaces, we repurposed her former Ikea dining table as a large-format desk. The clever built-in slit down the center became discreet wire management—one of my favorite design tricks to keep cords out of sight. My goal wasn’t to create a neutral blank canvas but to infuse the space with boldness, character, and nods to Indian heritage so that Jully — and the beautiful garments and jewelry she shares — felt right at home.

Scroll down to see how it all came together. We completely DIY’d this space, and I’ve shared details and links in case you’d like to recreate something similar in your own home. This remains one of my favorite projects to date. - P

I anchored this little corner with a velvet CB2 chair in a deep bronze brown. The giraffe-print candlesticks were an eBay find I’m still proud of, paired with my go-to HomeGoods tree (don’t sleep on HomeGoods — it may take a few visits, but the thrill of the perfect find is unmatched)

Tucked right next to the wardrobe, this spot is perfect for Jully to grab outfits or jewelry and set them on the chair while styling, or just to catch up on emails, read a book, or unwind with coffee. The goal was to keep it minimal but full of texture and purpose.One of my favorite pieces in Jully’s space is the tiled pedestal we created. It not only brings a unique tint and texture to the room but also elevates a plain pedestal into something truly one-of-a-kind. You’ll see a lot of beautiful stone pedestals on the market, but they can be pricey and often feel limited in size or color options. This is such a budget friendly DIY you can easily try yourself. All you need is a basic pedestal — available in different heights and a set of tiles you love. In this one, we decided to skip grout for a tighter, natural look, but you can absolutely grout between the tiles if you prefer that more traditional wall-tiled look. It’s a fun way to get creative and customize something that feels special to your space. If you’re interested in making your own, I’ve linked the full DIY guide with all the details and sources.

I chose these because Indian outfits can be on the heavier side, with all the embroidery and beadwork, so it’s important to have hangers that are both sturdy and minimal. These are not only strong enough to handle bulkier pieces but also so sleek and chic. [Linked here.]Pictured above: a camel bone box I sourced in Udaipur, India. This was actually the very first piece I purchased for the project and became the driving force behind incorporating unique finds and an old-world feel of India into the space. We used it to house her brass safety pins — a little nod to all the GRWM videos where Jully styles saris and lehengas and needs to pin her dupatta. A functional piece that also carries a bit of story and soul.Pictured above: a leather tray I sourced from HomeGoods (for just around $20). I really wanted to bring an element of leather into the space, and this felt like the perfect piece. My vision was for Jully to use it as a vibe tray — a place to gather all the jewelry she’s considering for a look or a photoshoot before making her final selections. Leather is such a great backdrop for jewels because it doesn’t compete with them; it quietly elevates and frames their beauty. As you can see, it beautifully highlights the intricate workmanship of Indian jewelry. Just one of the many special details layered into this space.

Pictured above: a moment that perfectly captured the mood we were creating for Jully’s office. I came across this Dior catalog from their collaboration in India — blending fashion, florals, and old-world architecture — and it immediately resonated with the vision for this space. I took this photo while holding the engraved camel bone and brass magnifying lens over the catalog, as a small nod to the way design, heritage, and storytelling can come together so seamlessly.Pictured above: images of the mood board we created for Jully’s space. From fabric and embroidery swatches to quotes, hairstyle inspiration, clippings from designer catalogs, and even a handwritten note she received in a PR box — all the little pieces that capture who she is and her aesthetic as a content creator.

One of my favorite hacks for putting together a board like this: don’t spend hours at a fabric store paying a premium for fabrics. Check the clearance section in the HomeGoods curtain aisle instead. Sometimes you’ll find panels with a tear, a pull, or a missing panel as they ususally are sold in pairs — this clearance find was under $10 for the entire 108" panel. We just cut it down and mounted it onto a heavy-duty foam board. It’s nice and tall, sits right on the floor, and can be moved anywhere around the office.
