If you work in an office, you’ve likely noticed that your surrounding environment can make all the difference when it comes to productivity, stress levels, and overall mood. A beautiful office can inspire you to work harder and create projects that you’re proud of.
Still, no matter how beautiful your office space is, the same scenery can become dull and routine. How often have you stared at your windowless walls hoping the paper calendar pinned there will give you a burst of insight?
Changing up your work environment can have a noticeable impact on your productivity and happiness. Below, we offer five tips for freshening up your office and making it somewhere you look forward to spending time in every day.

1. Add Plants
Humans love plants. In fact, studies show that having greenery around us is relaxing and improves mood. Not only are they beautiful to look at, but they also freshen up the air and can add a lovely scent. Plants also give you a concrete project to work on other than your current job.
No sunlight in your office? No problem. Many low-maintenance houseplants will do just fine with your office lights and minimal watering. For instance, try some English ivy, a succulent plant like aloe vera, or a snake plant.
2. Change Up Your Artwork
You might already have some art hanging on the walls, but that abstract color painting will get old fast. Consider hanging up some new art that you picked out yourself. Choose something with meaning, like art made by a local street vendor or a poster of your favorite vacation place.
If you have kids, ask them to draw something for you. Lastly, dare to be adventurous by creating your own artwork or photography. Every time you look at it, you’ll be inspired by your own abilities and creativity.
3. Make Custom Patches
For a unique touch, order custom patches. These apply to any fabric surface, such as hats or uniforms, and you can customize them with your name, a company design, or even detailed artwork. If you’re in charge of a team, use patches to create uniformity and team spirit, and boost your employees’ morale.
Use custom patches to make your business look, even more, professional – create company logo emblems to stick on uniforms or order name badges for customer-facing employees. This will spruce up your business and make you instantly memorable.
4. Custom Vinyl Lettering And Numbering
If you have a glass window or door, consider adding a bit of fun with vinyl lettering. This is a budget-friendly way to add an artsy touch to your office. You could use snippets of inspirational quotes or poems, or you could use decals to promote your business.
For example, use them to post open hours, label conference rooms, or display your company name. Vinyls look beautiful on glass and walls alike, making them a perfect option to add that professional yet creative flair to your workspace.
5. Tidy Up
There’s a reason that decluttering and organizing are suddenly all the rage. Cleaning up and compartmentalizing your space can make you feel more peaceful and productive. Go through all your drawers and files to sort out things you no longer need. Use drawer organizers to make the most of your space and easily find what you are looking for.
Keep your desk clear of any extra items. All that you need in front of you are the tools to get the day’s work done. Devoting just a little bit of time and effort to your office can go a long way. By reorganizing and beautifying your workspace, you’ll be on your way to a happy, productive office in no time.
