Home Best Of 34 Fresh Ideas for Decorating a Home Office Area Decorating a home office area can be tricky. First off, you have to choose the way the office will “feel”. If you go for a homey environment, chances are you will not be so concentrated on your work, as many things are likely to draw your attention. If you choose a very professional decorating style, then what is the purpose of having it inside your home anyway? Here are 34 ideas for arranging a home office area that disobey all rules. Connecting professionalism with coziness, these offices are all unique in style and ensure a good work atmosphere. Some of them feature interesting art elements, such as paintings or sculptures. The colors are vivid, creating an inviting and fresh work zone.

Office Organization

The key to good office design is good office organization. Check out these tips for keeping things organized.

    Use small decorative boxes to hold small necessities like paperclips, staples and elastics. Either use a box with compartments so the items don't get mixed together or use three separate boxes.

    Separate writing utensils (pens, pencils, markers) and put them in their own stylish containers (such as a decorative cup).

    Hang a fabric covered bulletin board or magnetic board above or near your desk to put notes, pieces of paper or envelopes not yet ready to be filed away.

    Hang shelves above the desk to place binders, tape dispenser, stapler, etc. to free up desk space.

    Use a decorative box to hold chargers for cell phones, cameras, or other devices. Drill or cut a hole in the back of the box (depending on the material) to run the cords through.

Office Decorating

Remember that the style of the office should reflect the style of the rest of the house. If you have a traditional or Victorian-style house a contemporary home office will look out of place. Find a look that blends well and use colors that work with the rest of the house and are also conducive to a productive work atmosphere. Once you've got your style down, keep the following tips and suggestions in mind.

    Every desk needs a lamp but instead of using a traditional office lamp use a pretty table lamp like you would in a living room or bedroom.

    Unless you work at your desk for very long hours and need it for medical reasons, outfit the room with a stylish chair instead of a regular office chair.

    Don't use the same kind of accessories as you would at a regular office. Invest in pretty desk accessories like a stylish Rolodex and sleek stapler.

    Make your own desk blotter with old scraps of wallpaper. Secure the paper to the desk using sticky tack that won't leave a mark. Either replace the paper when it gets damaged or have a piece of glass cut to sit on top and protect it. (This can also be done with fabric).

    Instead of a standard recycling bin use a wicker basket lined with fabric.
