Office Decorating

By Gail Jones_ | December 29, 2009

It’s been at least a year now since you moved to your new work place and officially took over your new office. At first, you were busy decorating your new home and learning a new job, but now that you’re settled in you start noticing again the same things that you noticed when you first arrived.

The walls are a boring, drab colour and looking decidedly depressing, the sun streaming in through the heavy duty blinds is barely enough to light a mouse hole and the furniture is just about as grotty and plain as it can get. You reckon that an acceptable amount of time has passed for you to start an office decorating project.

Naturally, before you start it’s always a good idea to make certain that those in charge won’t have a problem with your stylish redecorating plans. And remember that it is only an office and so you should treat your plans to redecorate as such.

Painting the walls a bright red colour possibly might not work. However, you could brighten things up a bit by repainting the walls a bright and jolly colour that won’t upset anyone, least of all you. Then you could always take down those ancient blinds that have been hanging there since the early 1980’s and replace them with something more pleasing and modern.

On the other hand, if the whole of the office is decorated in the same style with the same blinds hanging on each window, your a la mode changes might not go down too well with your colleagues. So, think twice before making drastic changes that alter the whole style and dynamic of the entire office.

However, there are easier methods you can use to carry out your office decorating ideas without too much trouble to you and which doesn’t necessarily need too much thought either. You can brighten up the appearance of any room by placing a pot or two of flowering plants here and there around your office.

However, if you’re like me and you don’t have green fingers or if you compel any plant in your vicinity to immediate suicide, then maybe you shouldn’t bother with plants. You could however bring in some lively pictures and hang them up on your walls. Or perhaps you have kids and they have painted some lovely pictures for you.

These work well too, and will show your co-workers a different side of your character. But, don’t get stressed out over anything though – you really don’t need a simple decorating job to add to the rest of your worries. Besides, an office decorating project should be fun and stress free.

Remember, your office decorating project need not entail your turning the whole office, or yourself, on its head. It should be something that you can live with on a daily basis.

After all, you work in your office for most of the day, so it ought to be a place where you can be just as relaxed as you are in your own home.
