Desk Is Looking Drab? Consider These Office Wall Décor Picks

The right desk décor and office design can make or break a workday. In fact, a study published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology found that those working in an office with indoor plants have better focus, a higher capacity for attention and a better mood compared to those without access to nature. Plus, there's just something maddening about staring at a white all day, so things like plants, artwork, and personal trinkets can really make a difference. In other words, never underestimate the importance of setting the right feng shui at work.

That being said, it is still a place of work, so well-organized storage spaces and usable surface areas should be a top priority. This leaves us with one valuable canvas with which to decorate: the walls. So whether you stare at a cubicle divider all day or you have the corner office—and even if you're tasked with decorating the common areas in an open space plan—allow our curation of office wall décor to guide your shopping excursions and design plans. Get ready to dress up the walls by your desk with inspiring artwork and stylish organizational pieces for a more efficient, beautiful workspace.
