Decorating the Office

In: Home & Family

9 Nov 2009

It’s been more than a year now since you came to your new work place and took over your new office. First of all, you were busy coping with 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 took over your office.

The walls are a bland, neutral colour and are looking decidedly depressing. The sun streaming in through the industrial quality 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 redecorating your office.

Of course, before you commence it’s always a good idea to make certain that the powers that be don’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.

Emulsioning 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 remove those old blinds that have been hanging there since the early 1980’s and replace them with something more pleasing and functional.

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 stylish changes might not go down too well with your co-workers. So, think twice before making drastic changes that alter the whole style and atmosphere 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 take 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 enforce suicide on any plants near you, then maybe you shouldn’t bother with plants. You could however bring in some bright pictures and hang them up on your walls. Or perhaps you have children and they have painted some smashing pictures for you.

Kids’ paintings work well and will show your colleagues 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 – an office decorating project should be fun and stress-free.

Remember, your office decorating project should 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 work in your office for most of the day, so it ought to be a place where you can feel just as relaxed as you are in your own home.
