Nothing’s worse than a boring workspace. Whether it’s your personal desk at home or your tiny office cubical, attempting to actually be productive in an unappealing office is definitely difficult. Whether you’re a marketing genius or a freelance writer working from home, you need a space that’s going to give you inspiration, and leave you feeling as happy as your innocent, little puppy (even when you’re under a stressful deadline).
Easier said than done right? Not exactly. Decorating your desk and office space can actually be really easy. All you need is pictures. Photographs can spice up any room, and if you have a glass desk you can tape pictures to the bottom of it so they show through.
You can always diversify your décor as well. Instead of printing only pictures of yourself and your friends, make your desk area similar to a real life Pinterest board. Print quotes, fashion inspiration and recipes. Pin (with actual thumb tacks) them on the wall (or bulletin board) in front of your desk to give your entire office a touch of your style and personality. Another easy way to decorate is getting a new lamp.
Lamplight is a lot softer than those annoyingly bright overhead lights that are installed in every office. So get rid of that harsh fluorescence, and set up a nice, small lamp on the edge of your desk. It will add décor and a softer more enjoyable mood.
From lamps to picture frames, spicing up your office can be a lot simpler than you thought. A few touches can go a long way. If you work from home think about painting your room a calming color. WebMD suggests that green is a great color for concentration. So if you want to revamp your office entirely, think about the color psychology behind your choice. Now it’s time to get creative. Get out there, print your pictures and express yourself through your décor. Even if you get tired of working, you’ll never get tired of just hanging out in your office (all productivity aside).
