Leisure Reading: Creative Ways to Personalise Your Office Space
Any office space is the place where creative ideas and innovation happen. The workplace is at the centre of where we spend the majority of our time. There is one important aspect that is very often overlooked, which is making your professional space your own.
Whether typically working from corporate offices or working from home, personalising your office space can bring more joy to your workday.
The place we work should be our own personal sanctuary. Our office spaces should feel welcoming towards ourselves and others, have a little bit of that "feeling of home" and evoke a boost of employee productivity as well as inspire creative thinking into our minds.
Below are some awesome office space decorating ideas to guide you with adding a sense of personality and colour into your workspace:
1. Welcome the Greens
Need a breath of fresh air? If so, you may consider decorating naturally with indoor plants.
Plants offer beauty while also improving the health of your workspace.
It may be real plants, fake plants or even fresh flowers, all are great options that help to liven things up in any office space.
2. Pops of Colour
Pick any colour that instantly brings you joy and try painting an accent wall or think about adding your favourite colours through smaller details.
It might be some new colourful and eye-catchy binders, folders, table organisers and storage compartments.
Display your creativeness with colour coding your office space, whether you use bold or subtle colours can do wonders in personalising your work area.
3. Showcasing Your Mementos
Yup memento is a word, referring to an object that is kept as a reminder of someone or something.
Surrounding your office space with objects that have meaning to you is a great way to make your workplace feel less dull and more character.
Not only will these objects bring you joy because they are special to you, but they are unique to everyone and ideal in expressing yourself.
4. Capturing Moments
Personalise your office space with memorable photographs of your loved ones, friends, pets or just about any photos that have impact you.
Displaying these photographs in a nice frame or hanging them on a visual board gives you a dedicated space to increase the working mood.
Having images of significant moments that have influenced you is a constant reminder of life outside of work and what's truly important.
5. Boards… Boards… Boards…
Having a vision board, cork board or bulletin board is essential for visually organising your ideas and visualising work projects.
An office board deeply immerses yourself with a visual representation of what you want and plan to achieve.
These boards are an efficient and practical way in organising your thoughts and ideas while working.
6. Picasso Your Office Space
Decorating any work area with forms of visual art is a fantastic way to make your workspace more personal and attractive.
Placing curated works of art defines the overall mood and ambience of a workspace.
Observing art in your office space encourages creative interpretation and thought, which easily applies to one's own work.
Creating an office space that uplifts you will make your work more enjoyable and helps employees to feel more comfortable with adapting to work environments, encouraging open communication and more effective collaboration.
An office space that has a balance of professionalism and comfort is a place for work productivity.
