If you work from your home office, you may spend most of your day there, so you should take some extra time to make sure it is decorated nicely.   You might want a home office that is more minimally decorated so you can focus on work or a home office that is full of decor and feels cozy.   No matter your design style (contemporary, traditional, modern, vintage, etc), consider these decor ideas to make your home office as nicely decorated as the rest of your home   Color SchemeSelect a color scheme for your home office that will allow you to concentrate and be the most productive.  If you work best in an all white room, make your home office all white.  If you work best in a very colorful room, make your home office very colorful.  Don't forget to use a bit of white and black in spots around your room for contrast. If you do not want to use strong color, you can use all neutrals (such as black,  beige, brown, and white) with one pop of color for interest. You might choose a color scheme based on the colors in a rug or artwork in your office. Once you select your color scheme, repeat the colors throughout your room.  For a more interesting color palette, also decorate with lighter and darker versions of your colors. OrganizationThe best way to decorate your home office is to make it neat, tidy, and organized. Use special organizational tools in your home office that are functional for your specific needs. Keep most of your desk top completely empty if your work requires you to spread items out on your desk.  Feel free to add a few decorative items that make you happy but don't overpower the space.   If your home office is a portion of another room of your home instead of its own room with a door, make sure the office portion of the room complements the decor in the rest of the room instead of sticking out and looking like an afterthought.  The office portion can also be used for other activities, such as being an extension of the living room or dining room when not being used as a home office.   DecorMake sure to look for decorative office supplies at large office supply stores, office supply catalogs, online, and more unconventional places. Many furniture stores that carry home office furniture will also offer nice office supplies in trendy colors. Organizational stores often carry unique office supplies. If you can't find exactly what you are looking for, you can always upholster or spray paint items to coordinate with your office decorations. Consider using non-traditional items as office decor, such as antique bowls or intricately painted lamps. Don't forget about searching online auctions for inexpensive unique items to decorate your home office so it doesn't feel sterile.   Other Articles You Might Like Storage Solutions for a Home Office   How to Get a High End Look in Your Home on a Budget   The Impact of Color on Mood: A Guide for Decorating Your Home
