If I had a room in my home dedicated as the "study", THIS is what it would look like. A modern twist on an old classic. Instead of dark wood paneling, high gloss macassar ebony panels between the windows! Instead of Tiffany lamps, retro modern lighting. Not to mention a dark comfy couch offset by a light rug with a great pattern, and white chairs (ps - these look almost exactly like a pair we have at Empiric right now that I adore!) Plus, the study is always the space where you can get away with a little animal print - cowhide or otherwise. A very cool room from Haynes-Roberts.
