Peek inside the new Facebook office and see how you can recreate the modern, electric-hued look at home.

When we heard Facebook moved to new, fancier digs, we had all sorts of visions. Would it be all decked out in blue, the site's signature color? Would there be concept furniture like "Like" button-shaped chairs and giant white boards with "What's on your mind?" written at the top?

Not quite. Instead it's thoroughly modern, exceedingly bright (we counted at least four different oranges) and surprisingly easy to copy if you want the Facebook spirit in your home. Minus, of course, the 57 acres that the Menlo Park facility sits on.




The front of the building matched the inside -- lots of geometric shapes and bold hues...



Orange and yellow get (slightly) toned down by grays and light wood.



A plush chair gives employees a place to relax ... but no napping! Check out that very straight back.



Industrial, modern pieces in cold gray. Hey Facebookers, where's the pop of brights in here?

Now: Check out the pieces that make the place shine. If you bring one into your home office, maybe it'll being you good luck (or if you're lucky, an Aaron Sorkin-penned biopic).
