Decorating the Office
It's been more than a year now since you moved to your new work place and took over your new office. First of all, you were busy coping with your 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 looking decidedly depressing, the sun streaming in through the heavy duty blinds is decidedly dingy and the furniture is just about as grotty and plain as it can get. You reckon that an acceptable amount of time has passed for you to start an office decorating project.
Of course, before you begin it's always a good idea to make certain that the powers that be won't have any objections to your redecoration plans. And remember that it is just an office and so you should treat your decorating plans as such.
Painting 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 old blinds that have been hanging there since the early 1970's and replace them with something more pleasing 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 a la mode 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 easier 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.
However, if you're like me and you don't have green fingers or if you compel any plant in your vicinity to immediate suicide, then maybe you shouldn't bother with plants. You could however bring in some lively pictures and hang them up on your walls. Or perhaps you have children and they have painted some lovely pictures for you.
Kids' paintings work well and will show your colleagues another side of your character. But, don't get stressed out over anything though - you really don't need a simple decorating job to add to the rest of your worries - 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 spend a lot of the day at your office, it should be a place where you can be just as at ease as you are in your own home.
