You might have a slight vision of how you want your office to look but maybe you just need a little nudge in the right direction! As always, we’re here with only the best tips for you! 

So get out your notebook and let’s get started!

This post is all about the best home office decor!

The Best Tips For Home Office Decor

What you need
  • A desk (can’t have an office without one!!)
  • Desk Accessories 
  • Calendar
  • Wall Art
  • Plants 
  • Books
  • Bookshelf

1) Start With The Desk Table

Start with items that you will be using first. 

Office Necessities
  • Tape
  • Scissors
  • Pins
  • Pens

desk accessories

office accessory kit

These items are not only useful but are decor pieces for your desktop as well! We recommend getting these items in a set to match the theme you’re going for!

There are a few sets you can choose from it. We’re linking our favorite ones at the end of the post!

2) Desk Decor

When you have the necessities placed at your desk, your next step is to focus on any other decor that will sit on the table.

Tip; Even though you’re already at home, you could still add a more homey touch to your desk

For Example; Adding a few family pictures will make your workspace more personalized!

 Decor Items
  • Family Pictures
  • Books
  • Candles
  • Plants

Books. We believe that an office desk or an office room isn’t complete without books! So if your desk has enough room on it add your favorite books to suit your vibe! If your desk is small and doesn’t have room for anything extra, Keep reading for more ideas!

Candles. If you love to light up a candle once in a while, then having one at your desk will add to the coziness giving you a peaceful area to work at.

And our personal favorite, plants. 

We know that you might get tired of hearing us say this, but plants are a game-changer! Add a small plant (it can be artificial!) to your desktop for a calming atmosphere!

3) Wall In Front Of Desk

Ideas
  • Map
  • Calendar
  • Bulletin Board
  • Art

At this point, your desk and desk area should be set up to your liking!

Your next step is to focus on the wall right in front of it! (that is if your desk is against a wall)

If your desk is against the wall,  hang up either a calendar or an art piece above it to complete the area look.

And like always we’re linking your favorites at the end of the post!

4) Adding Extra Furniture

This step all depends on if your office space is in a separate room or if it is in your bedroom!

If your office desk is sitting in your bedroom then you most likely already have your decor and other furniture pieces around your bedroom. The desk area and wall should be plenty for an office space.

 But if your desk and office space have a separate room, there are many more things to add to make your office space to make it look professional and complete. 

Here are some items you can choose to put in your office!
  • Bookshelf
  • Globe
  • Map
  • Bulletin board
  • Whiteboard

These are all ideas that will transform your office!

Bookshelf. adding a bookshelf to your office will keep all the literature you use for your work in one spot and make your office cozier.

Globe. add a globe on your office desk or near the bookshelf will add a professional, elegant vibe to your area. 

Map. a map in the area above the bookshelf (also depending on what type of bookshelf you have) (or desk) will improve the whole space. Were linking this beautiful wooden map that we found on Etsy!

Bulletin board/whiteboard. If your job gets messy and busy, adding a bulletin board or whiteboard to a wall (that you find fit) will be a smart choice! 

A bulletin board will keep you on track of what’s next while keeping everything organized. A whiteboard is perfect for your daily reminders!

5) Office Room Decor

You Need
  • Floor Plant 
  • Rug

At this point, you should have all the items you want on your desk. And any additional items you wanted to add (like A bookshelf,  whiteboard, bulletin board, map, globe, etc) should all have a spot.

Your office space is almost complete. You’ve transformed this area into a professional working space. 

For the last step, make sure your office has enough coziness you need during your workday!

We mentioned before adding a plant to your desktop, you can also add a bigger plant on the floor near your bookshelf or under your office window if you have one.

 we recommend adding a rug to tie down all of your office decors.

Let’s do a Recap!
  • Start with your desk
  • Buy the necessities that work as decor as well 
  • Add a personal touch with family pictures
  • Focus on decorating the wall near or in front of your desk. (use things that are useful like a map or calendar)
  • Bookshelf
  • A globe
  • Add a whiteboard or bulletin board
  • Cozy  the space up with candles
  • Plants
  • Add a rug
