Create a Feature Wall

Decorating an office can be tough if you do not have permission to paint. If you do, paint is an inexpensive way to add colour. Try creating a feature wall by painting it a strong colour.

De-clutter

Clutter can make a small room look smaller. Spend some time purging and if possible, sell office equipment and furniture you don’t use and use the profits to buy paint or other decorations for your new spacious office. Clear off desk space by putting items away in drawers.

Cover Up Open Shelving

If your office has many open book cases with clutter and mess, try rearranging them and expose only supplies that can be organized neatly (like books or printer paper) and cover the rest of the shelves with an inexpensive blind, curtain of fabric, white board, cork board or metal surface with magnets.

Flowers or Plants

Fresh flowers can make a real impact in an office. Treat yourself to an inexpensive new large vase and buy daisies, gladiolas or other inexpensive flowers to add colour and life to your office. Plants are also an inexpensive way to add character to an office. Watch out for sales of large plants and end-of-season clear outs of clay or fibreglass pots.
