1. Tips for Home Office Decor
Today an increasing number of professionals are going to the office without ever leaving
home. In years past, what passed for an office was merely a corner of the kitchen or
family room or even the kitchen table. Home offices are a part of most new homes
whether they intend to telecommute or start a home business or not America is
infatuated with the home office.
Like any other room in your home, the home office will reflect who you are both as a
business person, if you use your office for business, and
as a person. It should reflect you taste, your personality,
and also the style of your house. If you have a very
modern home style a very traditional office would look
and feel out of place. You will want to make it a pleasant,
comfortable, enjoyable place to work and spend time.
First you need a good color scheme because if the colors
are bland you won’t enjoy being there. Blue or green is the traditional colors for offices
because they are calming and promote a good working mood. But you can use any
colors that really appeal to you. Bright, hot colors generally
reduce the ability to focus so it’s best to use them as accent
colors for small items.
Other than furniture you will need office accents to add
personality, beauty, and to create an interesting environment.
The office is for work, usually, even if it’s just paying bills and
working on the household budget. Decor should make the office
comfortable and pleasant but should stay in keeping with the
meaning of the room.

2. Forget most traditional office accessories like plastic and boring, bland art. If possible
purchase a small sofa or loveseat for seating. Go ahead and drape a nice throw over
the back and colorful, interesting throw pillows. This is the perfect place to add that
accent color. The whole effect is informal, comfortable, and welcoming. Add art prints to
the wall. Inspirational wall art is a great way to inject some of your personality as long as
it pertains to success or some other business type inspiration and not romantic. Bird
wall decor, for example, is popular and in perfect taste for the office and the popular tree
prints.
The tradition of placing framed photographs of the family
is alive and well and is a great desk accent. Choose
interesting frames that coordinate or not depending on
your personal style. Just as each of your family members
are unique and different the frames can be unique and
different as well. You will need to keep things organized
so a matching desk accessory set is a must. These
usually consist of a letter organizer, pencil cup, and note
tray or business card holder. These are available in
many different styles, patterns and colors and you are sure to find one that is right for
you and your office. A desk pad is a tradition for good reason, it protects your expensive
desk and provides a nice surface for writing.
You may want a clock on your desk; why not make it a real conversation starter? Cele
Clock is a clock face set into a 5 inch cut and polished agate rock. They are available in
azure blue, eggplant, green, natural (earthy), smoke gray, fuchsia or orange. They really
have a ‘’Wow factor.’’—something every office can use more of.
