Extreme decorating ideas for an office cubicle??

Question

I started a new position today. (Yeaaaaaa me!) I am looking for some decorating tips and ideas. My style is very much like Pier One or World Market. Any suggestions on how I can make my area more inviting? It isn't particularly large and I am not one to like clutter. Also, my walls are very short. How can I make the most of what little space I have?

Answer 1

If I were you, I would go with a minimal, symmetrical style using warm tones like brown and orange.

And there's all kinds of stuff to put in a cubicle, even a small one :) Posters, vases, temp. wallpaper, lamps, etc...

And if you like World Market, they have stuff like masks and small statues/figurine sized statues that you can decorate your desk with, etc..

Good luck! :) Congrats on the new job.

Get a large-scale photograph (poster or calendar picture) with sweeping views into a gorgeous landscape, to hang on the wall in front of you. This will expand your cubicle visually, and lift your spirits every time you lift your eyes.

Alternatively, take a picture of a river flowing towards you, or a waterfall. It can help you keep inspired.

If possible, cover the walls of your cubicle with fabric (or paper, but fabric looks better) in a favorite color that helps you concentrate and makes you feel good. Don't go for a pattern, as it will visually clutter up the space.

Keep the rest of your furnishings simple and low-key but really beautiful and fun to use. Make sure you have a daylight quality desk lamp, particularly in winter.

Yea you! Assume you're under flourescent lighting which plants love. Hang some planters with one-piece drain trays on your short walls and take soil and bedding plants for them. Brightly-colored placemats can be stapled to the walls for color, in front of which you could hang little sets of wall decor in your style (masks/miniature mirrors, etc.) You could swag a fish net between the entrance and the corner to throw your scarf and hat and gloves in for winter. And add a friendlier little lamp on your surface space for a homier feel.

1] get containers that match - a pen/pencil cup/vase, matching tray for papers, a covered box for stapler, scissors; a round box for pushpins, staples; etc. Try an exotic print, bamboo, or brass or bronze.
2] line inside walls with a pretty print fabric or wrapping paper - staple in place. Then use a pushpin to hang up necessary papers.
3] measure floor space - get a small oriental rug [ cover desk chair area with plastic for rolling ease ]
4] a vase with a single fresh flower every monday shows optimism and attention to detail.
5] get a pretty pillow for your desk chair, for working long hours
6] get one collage of photoes, or double framed photos of loved ones, or something inspirational.

Bluebonnets. you basically can no longer bypass incorrect with Bluebonnets. some subject matter song could be advantageous, if that is allowed. Willie Nelson might paintings. So might postcards from Texas. you be conscious of, the Alamo, the San Jacinto monument, a stable shot of a container of bluebonnets someplace close to Brenham, and so on. in case you have a freezer interior of sight, you're able to desire to grant scoops of Bluebell ice cream, in case you will stumble on it.
