Office Decorating

By Gail Jones

It’s been at least a year now since you moved 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 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 good to make certain that the powers that be won’t have a problem with your plans. And remember that it is just an office and you should treat your decorating plans as such.

Painting the walls a snazzy red colour probably won’t work. However, you could brighten things up a bit by repainting the walls a bright and airy colour that won’t upset anyone, least of all you. Then you could always remove those ancient 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 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 atmosphere of the entire office.

There are, however, simpler ways you can carry out your office decorating project without too much hassle on your part and which doesn’t necessarily need to be thought over too much. You could 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 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 kids and they have painted some lovely 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 job to add to the rest of your worries – an office decorating project should be fun and stress-free.

Remember, your office decorating project need not mean 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 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.
