Decorating a Goal-Centered Office
Spending the majority of a day in one room is reason enough to choose the décor items carefully. BandagedEar.com has put together some top office decorating tips.
Colors
Decorate an office with orange and yellow. (Sunflowers, 1889, Art Print by Vincent Van Gogh)
Orange and yellow are bright colors that will make your office shine. Orange facilitates sociability and optimism, which are two great attributes to a sales-oriented business. Yellow is a joyful color that may even focus the mind, fuel the imagination and improve productivity.
Red is an energizing color, but red can also be a color of aggression. A splash of red in your office decor will look fantastic, but avoid making it your dominant color choice.
Purple, green and blue are serene colors, which are perfect for creating a tranquil space. Decorating with these colors will help promote balance and restfulness.
Organization
Stay organized and keep clutter to a minimum. Try setting aside 15 minutes each day to clean up and keep clutter at bay. Make a habit of putting everything in its place when you are done with it. This will keep your office space tidy and help you locate files and other important business documents when you need them.
Hang a curtain over a bookcase to hide some of the clutter to make your office space a more enjoyable place to work. Invest in furniture and home décor accessories that keep your office supplies organized.
Lighting
Take advantage of any natural light available. Open windows and hang mirrors to reflect natural light into darker areas of your office. Research even shows that people are more productive in natural lighting as opposed to fluorescent lighting.
Add a touch of nature. (Ocean Villa, Art Print by Diane Romanello)
Add a Touch of Nature
Plants and flowers look pretty, but they also have other benefits. They are energizing and may even help clean the air. Avoid using silk or fake plants, which look real, but don’t have the same benefits.
A great view can also be inspiring while working. However, few people are lucky enough to have ocean front offices or a majestic mountain view. Try hanging a framed art print, such as Ocean Villa art print by Diane Romanello or Sierra Nevada in California art print by Albert Bierstadt.
Art Prints
Choose art prints based on your type of business. Yoga studios, spas and other relaxed workspaces can decorate with landscapes or images with serene subjects, such as Buddha art prints. Motivational art prints and inspirational quotes serve as a reminder to constantly put in that extra effort as you work toward your business goals. Waterfalls with a resting pool represent a flow of wealth in Feng Shui. Decorate your office with waterfall art prints and create an environment that supports your financial goals.
