I have recently decluttered my office and it is now clean and has all the essentials like my reading chair, a basket with some crochet projects and my desk. I don’t work from home typically so this is not really used for that. I use the desk for crafts and planning. I’m wondering if anything is missing here. Perhaps a plant or two? I am generally a minimalist and I live in Denmark so Im going for old school Scandinavian design especially since I live in a 102 year old home.

Thought this might look good.
Add small cabinet and plants.
C.R.A.P.P.
Curtains – hung at the ceiling, long enough to touch the floor, double the width of the window itself, rod pockets not tabs or grommets. No sheers.
Rug – as big as you can afford, in a neutral color with lots of texture, or in muted colors without texture. The front legs of all the furniture should be anchored on it. If in doubt, go bigger.
Art – original, large-format framed art hung at a midpoint of about 55 inches. No gallery walls, no printed canvas, no family pictures, nothing smaller than 9×12. Etsy and Ebay are goldmines.
Plants – start with snake plants or spider plants. Pothos is good for sunny spots. Succulents are too fussy and small. No fake plants. Monstera is ok if you can care for it properly.
Pillows – choose an odd number of pillows on the upholstered furniture. They should coordinate, not match. Add a throw blanket if you’re cozy.
At least 1 table lamp on every horizontal surface, and 1 floor lamp in a corner. No torchieres, no multi-arm lamps.
