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 arrived.
The walls are a boring, drab colour and are looking decidedly depressing. The sun streaming in through the industrial quality blinds is barely enough to light a mouse hole and the furniture is just about as grotty and plain as it can get. You figure that an acceptable amount of time has passed for you to start redecorating 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.
Emulsioning 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 take down those ancient blinds that have been hanging there since the early 1970’s and replace them with something brighter and more modern.
On the other hand, if the whole of the office is done up in the same style with the same blinds hanging on each window, your stylish changes might not go down too well with your colleagues. So, think twice before making drastic changes that alter the whole style and dynamic of the entire office.
However, there are simpler methods you can use to carry out your office decorating ideas without too much trouble to you and which doesn’t necessarily take too much thought either. You can brighten up the appearance of any room by placing a couple 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 smashing pictures for you.
These also work well, and will show your co-workers a different side of you. Don’t get stressed out over anything though. You really don’t need a simple redecorating job to add to the rest of your worries and besides an office decorating project should be fun and stress free.
Remember, your office decorating project should 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’re at your office most of the day, so it should be a place where you can be just as relaxed as you are in your own home.
