Whether you work from home or have a space for writing, crafting, of reading, your home office should be an inspiring place that encourages you to get to work. Home offices are neglected spaces in the house, left to be messy and unwelcoming, leading you to work from just about anywhere else in the house. Here are the best decor ideas for your home office that will make you actually want to work.
Think Chic
Your home office should inspire you and reflect your personality. Don’t be afraid to go all out. Your office can be fashionable, functional, and reflect your personality. Add an accent wall for some depth and drama. Hang a chic light fitting for some glamour. Add a sideboard to help you to keep the space organized with some storage. The functionality of the space will let you stay on top of the business side of your career, while the chic decor makes it a nice room to be in.

Glam up a home office by refreshing your lighting. An eye-catching pendant light is luxurious, yet professional.
Add Green
Breathe some life into your office so you will want to stay in there longer. Try to get a balance between practical, ergonomic, comfortable, and clean. A plant on your desk is believed to help you to stay calm and will clean the air. Plants look pretty too. Try a succulent or a snake plant on your office desk. Both look nice, clean the air, and are low maintenance.

Try an elevated clay planter, which is ideal for growing a snake plant, to add a little dimension to your workspace.
Get Artsy
Decorate your office with images and artwork that speaks to you. Even if you’re going to be crunching numbers all day, artwork can inspire you. Fill the office with art to energize your space and help you to feel motivated. If you’re artistic, you could create your own artwork and have it framed.

Make a DIY multi-purpose wall shelf to display your art. You could buy an existing wall unit, or make your own, then personalize it by painting the shelves. Use your shelves to display framed art and personal pictures.
Find The Rug
Ground the design of your office space with a colourful area rug to add visual interest and something to absorb sound. A multi-coloured rug can be used to bring in other colours that accent the main colours you used in your decor. A neutral grey rug can also work well with a lot of colour combinations. Keep the rest of your furniture simple and clean for a more sleek finish. Add in some green foliage to give the room texture.

Keep an eye out for beautiful, affordable textiles. A multi-shaded patterned rug will work with a colourful office, or with a simple office with plain white walls. Position it so you can put your feet on it while you work for cosy feet.
