A few days ago I hinted that exciting things are happening in my life. I'm happy to announce that I will be starting a new job this coming Monday! I'll still be working for the same company (and enjoying my three-block commute), but I will have a new position in a different department. I'm so excited about this change because it will provide me with a better work/life balance, which has been sorely needed. This position also brings the opportunity for me to use a tiny bit of my creativity at work. Needless to say, I am pumped!
I have been thinking a lot about how I want to style my new work space. I like to think of the cubicle as the ultimate blank canvas. It may seem austere and uninviting at first, but a few well-placed objects and pictures can make all the difference. I've been all over the internets searching for inspiration...
Little Green Notebook (Still my ultimate dream office)
Hmmm.... I think I need a (faux) sheepskin draped over my office chair. They're so luxurious! When it comes to office decor and desk organization, I think a there a few crucial ingredients:
- Light! Whether or not you're close to a window is usually the luck of the draw in a large office. I'm hoping my new space will be.
- White or light colored desk items (staplers, tape dispensers, trays, etc). They're so much cleaner and fresher than their drab black counterparts.
- Pops of vibrant color - art prints, photographs, or maybe a fabric covered pin board.
- Unexpected shapes (I love the trophy-esque pencil holders in the image from Design Sponge)
- Trays - did I mention I love trays?
I'm interested: do you work in an office? How do you make the space your own?
