Help me choose an industrial shelving style for my office

We recently painted our office Creme Brulee above and Bright White below the chair rail. In January we plan on updating the decor and making the office style cohesive. Although this room has a more formal feel to it with the chair rail and heavy crown moldings, we still want to add a little bit of an industrial look to it. See inspirational pictures on my blog post and help me choose which shelving idea we should go with. Thanks! http://www.thetatteredrabbit.com/industrial-farmhouse-shelving-inspiration/#more-541
There is bright white painted below the chair rail. This is an old Pottery Barn desk which will be staying (I think). Above the chair rail was a pinky undertone taupe which leached the color from every piece of furniture and wall decor.
Creme Brulee was painted above the chair rail to go with the other open areas in our downstairs.
There are very tall ceilings with lots of natural light and double crown molding around the top.
Bright White painted below. Walls unfinished.
Current wall colors.
Some really tall ceilings!

    I vote for the Simplified Building look. It's a little more formal. You could make a shelf unit to match. The Nerd Nest was TOO rustic for what you have. I just love that creme brulee' It's beautiful! Post after shots please?
    • @Mickey B. & Boo Boo I think you're right! We had a long drive home today and so I spent a good portion of it thinking about the office. I'm now thinking about moving some bigger, taller bookcases in there that would suit the more formal tone of the room. Will post pictures if I ever get this figured out!
