Office Refurbishment Ideas

Congratulations! You’ve landed the perfect job, complete with your own office. Now what? Of course, you’ll be spending time mastering the ins and outs of your new position. And you’ll be moving into you new office. You will, no doubt, have the requisite desk, file drawers and bookshelves. But what can you do to make your office truly yours? With just these few office decorating tips, you’ll be on your way to having an office of which you can be proud.
First, determine how much space is available within your office for your decor. Take some pictures of the office you’ve been assigned. Look at where the window(s), door, electrical outlets and computer jacks are situated. These will determine the possible furniture layouts. You may even want to draw up a scale floor plan with like-scale furniture. You can then try several arrangements to see which one you prefer – without hurting your back!
Once you have your furniture in place, your files in the file drawers, and your books and manuals on the shelves, you will see exactly how much wall, shelf, and floor space you have available for your personal touch.
Second, choose the correct type of image. If you are employed by a conservative company, you’ll want your office to portray a more conservative image. Conversely, if you work for a vibrant, innovative company, your office should communicate that same feeling.
Third, while keeping within the proper company image, be sure to include your personality in your choice of décor. Are you an avid sports fan? Do you spend your free time in the woods? Do you love to travel? Any of these, or many other, interests can be easily incorporated into your office decorating scheme.
