Right. Clutter. Receipts I should probably throw out. Spare mouse. Wallet. Seeds to plant one day. If this is a representation of my mind, it's not looking good.

Love your desk, E K. Is this going to be a ‘constantly in use’ home office? If so, practicality might direct your design choices. For instance, do you need task lighting? Or could a statement light fitting work? It’s proportionally suited to the room, so I’d keep any decor to one single piece or a group of three smaller pieces. For me, the style of desk seems suited to modern glass ornamentation. As for artwork, consider www.artbank.gov.au which allows you to lease beautiful Australian art or www.bluethumb.com.au which supports established and upcoming Australian artists and if budget is tight, go to your local auction houses. Unless space is very tight, consider leaving a space on your bookshelf for a colourful ceramic or sculptural piece, ensure there is some design or colour connection between your pieces, and I’d say your done

Also if i can avoid moving air con for now that would be great. The next phase of reno will be to take down the wall between lounges and put aircon on the front wall of the lounge as it's the only other outside wall it can go on. Here might be my plan for now. I'll put the kitchen in place and figure out if i need to add more storage to office area. Will add range hood and a few long open shelves like in the image below (and is also the look i'm going for decor wise)

@dreamer : That's exactly what it is, kitchenette - handy for drinks of water, making tea/coffee. We had a undermount sink there instead of vanity bowl, but the cabinet and stone was already cut which restricted use of undermount sink. We are happy with current setting of vanity bowl and pullout mixer. FYI....there are already two bathrooms upstairs ( 2separate basin inside them) so no need to run downstairs :) . @kate Sure, please allow me a day to visit site and do the actual measurements. Will share it here soon. . Actually, my partner and both work from home most of time and we have one dedicated study/office room which one of us will use. But we are looking to see another place where we can setup a office table/chair or some sort of study nook. House is built as per the plans (ground floor is here). Could you suggest another place where we can setup a office table/chair or some sort of study nook as we were thinking to put somewhere in rumpus area as I mentioned in the first post of this thread.
