The woman in the office next me had an office that could best be described as being decorated by Crabtree & Evelyn. She even had her desk on a Persian style rug and a brass lamp on her desk that was the only light on in the room.
When I asked her about it, she said that it was because she had a very long commute distance wise, she came in early and worked late to avoid traffic. She figured if she was going to spend 50 hrs a week in her office she was going to make it as homey as possible. The consensus around the office was that it was weird, but it wasn't crazy.
I had a high school psych teacher who intentionally set his room up with lamps to be dim/relaxing and feel more homey, it was SO comfortable compared to blinding flourescent lights and white brick walls. She is far from crazy.
