You can mount a large whiteboard, chalk board, or cork board as a place to leave notes. A whiteboard has the advantage that it’s magnetic, so you can fix a mosaic of magnets to it so that the board isn’t only filled with notes.
If it’s an oversized calendar, that’s even better. To make your wall calendar a genuine part of office décor, think about making your own monthly calendar posters with the colors, images, fonts, and graphics you find inspiring.
Think of something that gets in the way because there’s no convenient place to store it, like a bike or a guitar. Instead of leaning it in a corner, mount it to your office wall as decoration. If you mount it on hooks, it will still be easy to get down whenever you use it.
Think of someone who inspires you, for example a fictitious hero like Wonder Woman or your favorite athlete or author. Make a “hero wall” with imagery of that person or what inspires you about that person. This decoration idea can have a powerful impact on your attitude during the workday.
Windows can count as decoration, too. If you work in a home office that’s due for a remodel “make-over,” consider installing larger windows. If you have one window looking out at the yard, it could be turned into a set of French doors to turn your office into an indoor-outdoor work oasis.
Make a vision board with printed images and collage-style cut-outs, or a digital poster vision board. A vision board for the office could have something to do with work, or you could simply pick a
vision board idea that makes you happy.
Hang a city map poster in your office. Maybe it’s a map of the metro network in a city you love. Maybe it’s a map of all the breweries in the city where you live. Whether you use the map for work planning or not, this office décor helps you feel connected.
A piece of furniture against the wall forms part of the office wall décor, too. Find yourself a desk with the style, color, or details you love to look at.
