The laid-back luxury of Los Angeles and the earthiness of the California outdoors come together at the LuckyChap headquarters. Founded by Margot Robbie, Tom Ackerley, Josey McNamara, and Sophie Kerr, the production company might have the chicest office we've ever seen.

The corporate space has the cozy feel of a home office, filled with texture and curved furniture. Though the interior of the offices is eclectic, the one thread running through every part of it is the color brown. Whether it's a brown checkerboard rug a tan sofa, or a sand-colored shade, the tone is used in all its grounding glory.

Despite its bad reputation, the color brown is due for a comeback as a major 2025 color trend. 'Once dismissed as fusty and old-fashioned, the popularity of brown interiors continues to rise thanks to its universal appeal – it works within both traditional and contemporary settings and complements most colorways,' says Lena Gierasinska, interior design expert at Barker and Stonehouse. 'It’s also reminiscent of the outdoors, meaning it has a nurturing influence when used within the home.'

If you want to recreate the contemporary California feel of this space in your own home, start small.

Lena advises: 'My top tip is to use this color sparingly so that its richness doesn’t feel overbearing. Choose larger pieces of furniture in walnut shades, like sofas and sideboards, but offset these against a plain, light-colored backdrop. This way, the brown furniture will inject warmth and character into the room but will also feel unobtrusive and let other elements stand out.'

Luckily, it's easy to decorate with brown with a low commitment. Lena states: 'For those who remain unconvinced, I’d suggest introducing gentle accents in soft brown tones, like a cushion upholstered in caramel or a table lamp with a light wooden base. And the best place to harness the restorative nature of brown? Why not start with the bedroom? Choose a bed crafted from reclaimed wood – the natural materials coupled with the earthy tones will feel like a balm for the soul.'


As the second space where you spend the most time after home, the decor of an office is of utmost importance. Incorporating stylish, calming colors is the best way to make sure it feels ultra-rejuvenating.
