Your office is the one place other than your home that you spend most of day. Don’t let it look bland this holiday season. Here are some ideas on how to decorate your office for the holidays, courtesy of Building Interiors

Top Office Christmas Trees

There’s nothing more festive than a Christmas tree. Traditional or unconventional, a tree’s a tree, so we’ve brought to you three different trees you create for your office this year.

1) The Balloon Christmas Tree – An interesting, cheap & cheerful design which caught our eye, created using a series of green balloons, with smaller red and blue balloons as decorations. This would make a great addition to an office, so if you’ve forgotten your tree this year then why not try the balloon Christmas tree.

2) The Snowman Christmas Tree – This is the ideal desk sized Christmas tree, and the combination of the snowman instead of a traditional angel really took our fancy. This pre-decorated tree is a quality item and will really bring the festive spirit to the office.

3) The Wrapping Paper Roll Christmas Tree – The third of our last minute Christmas tree creations is this crafty design. It uses the end of your wrapping paper rolls, cut down to size to make the traditional tree shape with a handmade star and button to crown it, a perfect way of recycling the rolls of those who like to get their Christmas shopping out of the way before December the 1st.

Top Office Door Decorations

A simple way to spread some Christmas cheer and create a welcoming space in your workplace is simply through adding some decorations to your doors.

1) The Snowman – This snowman decoration is the pic of the bunch. A three tier design complete with a scarf, top hat and a pipe, set on a wintery background. This door decoration won the office competition for best decorated door of 2013, and the effort put into this shows why!

2) The Polar Express – A unique take on the polar express, this iconic train is a work of art. The artistry that has gone into this decoration is of the highest calibre and really brings the film to life. If you’ve got the time, and artistic skills, this will certainly blow your colleagues away.

3) Santa & the Fireplace – A quirky design which depicts Santa Clause trying to escape up the chimney before been found by the family. This design was used in a school over the festive period to welcome the children on a cold morning, but it would definitely put a smile on your staff’s faces!

Top Christmas Designs for Office Cubicles

Office cubicles are made for Christmas. There are so many creative ways you can sprinkle some Christmas magic over and transform the way they look!

1) The Decorated House – A simple but clever design using netting and fake snow to turn this cubicle into a grotto. The decorations outside and on the white canvas improve the overall look of the design and is one of the best we have seen this Christmas.

2) Traditional Log Cabin – This traditional log cabin look is created using painted card meaning it’s cheap but the amount of time to paint the card was extensive, which is why this makes it into our top 3. The added extras of the window and tree outside really make this office cubicle stand out.

3) Gingerbread House – The gingerbread house is a classic office cubicle design but with the added sweets and festively decorated Mr & Mrs Gingerbread outside take it to another level which is why it makes up our top 3 office cubicle Christmas designs.

Top Christmas Designs for Windows

If you aren’t decorating your windows or glass partitions this December, then you’re really missing out, mainly because of how easy they are to spice up!

1) Christmas Window Stencils – Adding some stickers to your office windows can create a stunning display and they’re super simple to apply. This Santa and his reindeer was one of our favourites, but snowflakes, stars and snowmen can have an equally striking effect.

2) Hanging Christmas Presents– For a more sophisticated window display, we came across these parcels, tied up with string. All you need is a few empty boxes, ribbon, paper of your choice and string. Try hanging them at different heights to make a bigger impact.

3) Starry Fairy Lights – These fairy lights add a warm glow to your windows, inviting guests in from the cold. They are easy to find, and even easier to hang making them an obvious choice for your office decorations!

Top Christmas Designs for Office Spaces

Don’t miss out on any opportunity to decorate your office, from the ceiling to the floor, you can put on a cracking Christmas display.

1) A Christmas Chalkboard Wall– Why not turn your office chalkboard wall into a Christmas extravaganza? You already have all the tools you need, a chalkboard pen and a mind full of ideas. It’s a great way to transform a space into something festive, but don’t worry if you don’t have a chalkboard wall, a white board would work just the same!

2) Festive Plants– Office plants have proven to boost morale and increase staff productivity, so make the most of your greenery by sprucing them up. Dangle some baubles off the branches to create a sophisticated look, or go the extra mile with some twinkling fair lights.

3) Ceiling Decorations – The design ticks all the boxes for utilising office space. All you need are some Christmas decorations of your choice and some ribbon. These are guaranteed to put a smile on guests’ faces, although make sure you plan where you hang them to avoid any accidents!

Top Christmas Designs for Desks

The littlest of changes can have a positive impact on your employees, so if you don’t want to go all out, try adding some seasonal touches to their desks!

1) A Desk Fireplace – Create a cosy desk place without getting the fire marshals involved! Made out of cardboard and paper, with a fire desktop background, you can create that country feel and decorate to your fancy.

2) Wrapping Paper Drawers – The effectiveness of this decoration caught our eye straight away. It can be personalised to individual staff members with particular wrapping paper designs, and is 100% recyclable. You can even mix it up and have a different design on each drawer.

3) A Snowy Scene– If Santa’s chimney doesn’t take your fancy then this one might! This design is the simplest out of the three, so there’s no excuse for not getting in the festive spirit. All you need to do is cover your desk in fake snow, and you have yourself a winter wonderland. See full post here

Decorate Your Office on a Budget

You spend a good half of your day at your office. In more ways than one, it’s your another home. There is no scarcity of activities you have to perform at your office and an environment that promotes productivity and invites positive familiarity is as crucial as it’s desirable.

Decorating an entire workplace or even your own workstation can get too heavy on the pockets. But with some fine-tuning, you’ll be able to breathe new life into the environment while saving some money.

Nicole Groshek from National Business Furniture shares some brilliant ideas on improving your office without burning a hole in your pockets.

How can I decorate an entire office on a budget?

The larger the space, the more expensive the makeover. That being said, you don’t have to spend an arm and a leg to make your office building look its best. Try incorporating these budget elements to design a space that inspires.

Wall art can breathe life into otherwise bland walls. Not only is there a huge selection of artwork available to match the aesthetic you’re going for, but they also vary in price to meet just about every budget. Try adding a single large canvas to a big, blank wall or create a stunning gallery wall by using multiple smaller prints bunched together. Either way, you’re going to grab the attention of employees and guests as they walk by.

Area rugs and accent pillows make great statement pieces in a waiting area, and they cost a lot less than buying entirely new furniture. This type of décor is also ideal for bringing in a pop of color into an otherwise neutral space.

Less is more, so be sure to incorporate your décor only where necessary. Not only will limiting the amount of décor in your office prevent the space from looking cluttered, but it will also save you hundreds of dollars by preventing you from overspending on your design elements. Remember, not every wall needs artwork on it, and the occasional blank space can help make a room look bigger.

Mixing and matching your lighting can also help you save money and create that visual balance you want in your office. You don’t need fancy chandeliers and funky uplighting in every corner of the building. Instead, go with an inexpensive light source such as fluorescent lighting for most of the office and then accent that with floor lamps and pendant lighting here and there for visual interest.

Rearrange your furniture in the right way to drastically improve the flow of the space. The greatest thing about rearranging your office furniture is that it’s totally free! You already have the furniture, so simply moving it around is a great way to enhance the look of the room and switch things up a little. Be sure to keep entryways clear and be conscious of the flow of traffic when selecting your arrangement. Also take into consideration where the natural lighting is coming from in your office and arrange furniture in a way that will provide employees with access to that beneficial light source.

How can I decorate my cubicle on a budget?

An entire office redecorating is one thing, but what can you do with your own personal budget to make your workspace look a little more like home? Start here.

Keep it clean to make your space feel bigger and more open. Keeping your desk free from clutter will not only make it more visually appealing, but it will also help your productivity since messy desks are often associated with higher levels of stress and a decrease in work productivity. Best of all, organizing your desk once a day or once a week is a more than affordable option considering it doesn’t cost any cash at all.

Bring the outside in for an affordable way to get in touch with Mother Nature on the job. Whether they’re real or artificial, office plants can be purchased on the cheap, and the benefits they provide can’t be beat. Studies have shown that incorporating greenery and natural elements in your workspace via live plants, faux plants or even photographs of plants can boost your mood and increase productivity at the same time. That means good things for you, for your work and for your wallet!

Add a personal touch to your workspace to make it feel more like home. Bringing in décor elements such as family photos, knick knacks and your favorite books will remind you of the important things in life and will make you feel happier as you sit at your desk. Plus, these are items you usually already have at home, so they’ll be inexpensive or completely free! Read full post

Space Management: Adding Customizability To The Workplace

Managing the limited space at your workplace to accommodate all that is required of your employees, coworkers and you is a requisite to developing an enhanced work culture. It also helps to have the freedom to customize your workspace according to your needs and task gratification. Working in an open office environment, however, brings down the factor of personalization than say working from your home.

Most of us are accustomed to an extremely high level of customizability at home, placing and replacing every little thing to our desire and comfort. This is not the case with the workplace. Not much is in our control. But our needs remain the same…

Many workplaces have identified this anomaly and tried to rectify it in their own ways by adding accessories that have customizations built in. Furniture is the most important tool for workspace customization and objects like height-adjustable desks satisfy the much-needed desire for personalization.

Below are some of the most convenient ways to manage and personalize your workspace.

Height-adjustable desks

In the midst of all the hullaballoo concerning the ill effects of sitting at your desk all day, standing desks have found eternal haven in workplaces around the world. But you can’t stand all day, can you? That can’t be ideal. If you’ve held long discussions over migrating your workstation to a standing desk, you might be worried about coming across as a prima donna when and if you crave for a sitting position and migrating your workstation between standing and sitting environments is not exactly convenient. Enter, height-adjustable desks. Not only do they allow for more flexibility in your work patterns but they also provide a good amount of storage beneath. If you’re feeling extra paranoid today, you might sneak your beanbag chair underneath and work from within the confines your newfound kingdom.

Stools and auxiliary chairs

Movable furniture like stools and chairs enhances means of group effort and promotes collaboration. Having some power over the distribution of furniture, moreover, provides a sense of relief and accommodation required for collaboration – a necessity for workplaces that endeavor to achieve novel goals. This also enables employees to start learning from each other.

Screens and partitions

An open office design can be a huge distraction. Depending on how each individual employee functions best, your office may need more collaboration or seclusion. It’s true that an open office design is more collaborative, and communication is no hurdle. However, there are tasks and people that work best with a lack of distraction. Screens and partitions provide the necessary compartmentalization as and when required. Movable partitions work best with an overall functional and dynamic work environment providing the most accessible and effective means of workspace personalization.
