Dress up your furniture

Standard-edition desks, black mesh chairs and filing cabinets don’t paint a particularly cheerful picture. However, you don’t have to spring for all-new furniture in order to make your workspace more welcoming. There’s a lot that you can do with basic accents like cushions, throws, rugs or vases. Use these to introduce your favorite prints and patterns to your home office, and give yourself something pretty to look at while you’re busy brainstorming!

Keep it minimal

There’s a tendency to write off minimalistic spaces as boring, especially when you’re browsing through ideas for decorating a home office. However, introducing too many objects, colors and styles to your workspace can take away from its core purpose of helping you focus. Simple, clutter-free decor and a monochrome palette can easily be enriched with a slight hint of texture. Basic geometric or textured designs from our PVC-free wallpaper collection can work wonders for low-key home offices.

Set the tone with storage

Busy home offices need a lot of storage, but this doesn’t have to be a bad thing. When you’re decorating a home office, well-chosen storage is your best friend! If you’re fairly organized, go for open shelving that eliminates clutter without disturbing the aesthetic you’re trying to create. If you have shelves lining an entire wall, you can also use them to create a structured geometric theme for your home office. Cover other walls in shiplap or striped wallpaper and you’re good to go!

Go back in time

How does the idea of working from a regal old-school study sound? Vintage decor suits workspaces particularly well. If you’re into classic wooden desks and leather backed chairs, use them to replace your standard modern office furniture. Another easy way to bring classic charisma into your workspace is through vintage or retro peel and stick wallpaper. Large-scale floral prints, refined damask patterns, retro stripes and Art Deco geometrics – there are many ways to make your office old-school cool!

Steep it in color

What if whites or neutral palettes just aren’t your thing? No worries! A colorful room can make an excellent home office if you get the basics right. Balance vibrant raspberry hues with touches of blue, and ensure that your desk area gets plenty of natural light. If you don’t feel ready to take the plunge into color, a vibrant feature wall is always an option!

Have fun with geometry

If all those straight lines and structured layouts are making it difficult for you to think outside the box, it may be time to get a little playful. While considering ideas for decorating a home office, try a different type of geometric wall covering like chevron, ikat or plaid. Our newly updated collection has quite a few quirky designs that stay rooted in simple geometry. Vibrant color blocks and basic shapes also make great home office ideas, especially when paired with sleek metallic accents.

Plant some joy

Long hours of work will feel like a breeze when you have plants for company. Indoor greenery is not just a reliable idea for decorating a home office, it’s actually a workplace must-have. Don’t just stop at a single houseplant on your desk. Feel free to invite the outdoors in through a mix of ferns, succulents, and lush tropical wallpaper to tie everything together.

Explore the eclectic

Sometimes, it’s impossible to decide on a single design theme when you’re decorating a home office. What if you like taking inspiration from everywhere? Well, there are no rules against eclectic home offices! Feel free to use textured wallpaper, macramé accents, geometric patterned upholstery, and any other elements you like. If you’re worried about things getting too chaotic, group elements that work well together and place them in specific sections of the room.
