Decorating the Office

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 coping with a new home and learning a new job, but now that you’re settled in you start noticing the same things that you noticed when you first arrived.

The walls are a boring, drab colour and are looking decidedly depressing. The sun streaming in through the industry-quality blinds is decidedly dingy and the furniture is just about as plain and worn as it can get. You figure that a decent amount of time has passed for you to start planning the redecoration of your office.

Of course, 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 just an office and so you should treat your plans to redecorate as such.

Painting the walls a snazzy 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’80’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 every window, your a la mode changes might not go down too well with your colleagues. So, think twice before doing something drastic that changes the whole style and dynamic of the entire office.

There are, however, simpler methods you can use to carry out your office decorating project without too much hassle to you and which doesn’t necessarily take too much thought. You can brighten up any room by placing a couple 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 another aspect of your character. But, don’t get stressed out over anything though – you really don’t need a simple decorating project 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 involve your upsetting the whole office, or yourself. It should be something that you can live with on a daily basis.

After all, you spend a lot of the day at your office, it should be a place where you can be just as at ease as you are in your own home.
