Did you know that the cubicle was born in the 1960s? In 1968, Herman Miller released a project called the Action Office. The design was meant to counter the open-office culture and provide workers with privacy and autonomy.
Given that we spend approximately a quarter of our lives in cubicles or offices for the 1%, shouldn’t it feel like home? Check out some of these ideas from Shutterfly on how to decorate your home office.
Great Walls:
- Hang up large prints of your favorite inspirational pictures.
- Use double-sided tape or Velcro strips to hang decorative panels.
- Create a personalized calendar with pictures from your favorite trip.
From the Ground Up:
- Decorate a thin piece of wood from a painted pattern or even a favorite image and use that as a chair mat.
- Add a small area rug in patterns or colors that appeal to you.
- Create a personalized calendar with pictures from your favorite trip.
Shed Some Light:
- Put up a string of fairy lights on a cord.
- Add a petite table lamp with a low wattage bulb. The soft glow will make the overhead lighting less harsh.
Desktop Décor:
- Add small photos of family members and pets. Go beyond the wedding photo and choose tasteful conversation starters.
- Bring your own coffee mug or water bottle with a quirky print or favorite photo.
Accessorize:
- Keep a dish stacked with wrapped candies.
- Add a soft, stylish pillow to spice things up and help your lower back.
- A throw blanket can help you cope with the cold winter days; make one with some of your favorite photos.
