Your Office Inspiration - Increase your mood and productivity!

Your Office Inspiration Think about it. How many hours per day do you spend in your office whether at home or at work? 8 hours on average maybe? Now think about how much time you've taken time to really assess what your office is like. Is it happy? Bright? Cheerful? Inspirational? If you need to be creative at work, your office decor can either greatly hinder or help you, depending on what you choose to do. Studies have shown that such a simple thing as a new paint job in a fresh, bright color can improve work productivity by 20%! As well, horizantal lines tend to add a feeling of tranquility while vertical lines tend to exude power and strength. Diagonal lines promote motion and forward thinking. You can create these lines by painting them in or incorporating them into your office. Crowne molding can be put in at waist height around the room as a vertical line and tall, skinny plants, lamps, and even curtains can create vertical lines. Depending on you and your goals at your office, such simple changes could increase your productivity and lower your stress levels. One of the best things you can do is simply install an art print on your wall. Many people get inspired by simply gazing at a particular art piece or motivational print. When depressed, having something familiar to look at right at your office can inspire you to go that extra distance. Some people like famous artwork such as Picasso or Leonardo, others enjoy motivational posters or prints, still others enjoy looking at a portrait of wildlife, or nature, or of a tropical island. One example of a motivational art piece is a vigorous mountain climber at the top of a huge mountain. Underneath is the caption: "He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life." There are a wide variety of prints available online that can be shipped right to your door. Just a few simple changes to the office you spend so long in can make you more productive while inspiring you to greater heights.
