Decorating the Office
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 decorating a 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 boring, drab colour and are looking decidedly depressing. The sun streaming in through the industry-quality blinds is barely enough to light a cupboard and the furniture is just about as plain and worn as it can get. You reckon that a decent amount of time has passed for you to start planning the redecoration of your office.
Naturally, 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 bright red colour possibly might not work. However, you could brighten things up a bit by repainting the walls a bright and airy colour that won’t be an eyesore to 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 functional.
On the other hand, if the whole of the office is done up in the same style with the same blinds hanging on every window, your stylish changes might not be appreciated by your colleagues. So think twice before doing something that changes the whole look 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 need too much thought. You could brighten up any room by placing a pot or two of flowering plants here and there around your office.
But, if you’re at all like me and you don’t have green fingers or if your presence is death to any plants near you, then maybe you shouldn’t bother with plants. You could however bring in some bright prints 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 a different 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 involve your upsetting the whole office, or yourself. It should be something that you can live with on a daily basis.
After all, you’re at your office most of the day, so it should be a place where you can feel just as relaxed as you are in your own home.
