Two terrariums are front and center in Monroe's writing space, providing a hint of green to the room. The singer is known to be a fan of "clean, simple lines without a lot of color," which explains the presence of warm neutrals and layers of texture throughout.

When it came time to choose chairs and couches, Monroe opted for seats that would come in handy when she and her team would bring in their guitars. Think: low-profile arms and a statement pillow to bring the look (and its practicality) together.
