When you think of a law firm office, you probably picture something corporate, serious and maybe a little bit stuffy. But in Reasonable Doubt, Jax Stewart’s office has a completely different feel.
Her space strikes that perfect balance between professional and personal. It still gives powerful lawyer energy, but with quirky, character-filled pieces that make it feel stylish, memorable and lived in.
So, if you’re looking to give your own home office a little more personality, here are some of the coolest items spotted in Jax Stewart’s office.

1. Frank Sinatra arrest, wall art
At first glance, a framed image of Frank Sinatra’s arrest might make you pause and ask: why?
But honestly, the story behind it is pretty iconic.
On 26 November 1938, a 23-year-old Frank Sinatra was arrested in Bergen County on a charge of “seduction” — yes, really.
Considering Reasonable Doubt is an ode to Jay-Z’s 1996 classic album, this piece feels like the kind of unexpected pop culture detail that makes Jax’s office so interesting. Although in this case, Jay-Z’s 2003 The Black Album might be even more fitting — because Frank may have had 99 problems, but a woman definitely was one.
It’s bold, cheeky and a great reminder that office art does not have to be boring.

2. Inspirational Wall Art
Every home office needs something that gives you a little boost when the day is not going to plan.
That’s why I love the wall art in Jax’s office, which reads:
“If they don’t give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair.”
The quote is famously associated with Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman elected to Congress in 1968 and the first Black candidate to seek a major party’s presidential nomination in 1972.
It’s the perfect piece for Jax’s office because it speaks to ambition, resilience and making your own way — all things that fit her character perfectly.
For a home office, quote art like this can add meaning without taking over the whole room.

3. Stylish Paper Shredder
A paper shredder might not sound exciting, but if you work from home, it is definitely one of those practical items worth having.
The black and white shredder in Jax’s office is a great example of function meeting style. It looks sleek enough to blend into the space and could almost be mistaken for a retro radio.
It is proof that even the most practical office items can still look good.

4. Origami-Style Lamp
Good lighting is everything in a home office, and Jax’s origami-style lamp is such a nice touch.
It feels modern, sculptural and a little bit unexpected. Instead of a basic desk lamp, this kind of piece adds texture and personality while still doing what it needs to do. It is the type of lamp that makes your workspace feel more designed and less like a spare corner with a laptop
5. A headphone stand
A headphone stand is a small addition, but it can make a desk feel more organised. It gives your headphones a place to live and keeps them within easy reach when it is time for a call or a focus session.
Choose a finish that works with the rest of your desk, whether that is black, metal or wood. It is an easy way to make everyday tech feel like part of the room.

Jax Stewart’s office in Reasonable Doubt works because it does not feel like a generic TV law office. It has personality. It has humour. It has power. And most importantly, it feels like a space that belongs to her.
That is what makes it such good inspiration for a home office.
You do not need to recreate the whole room. A bold art print, a statement lamp, a stylish shredder or even a simple quote on the wall can make your workspace feel more personal, polished and a lot less boring.
