10 Beautiful Cubicle Decor Ideas to Spruce up Your Workspace
These simple decor ideas add some personality to your cubicle.
Hopefully your office environment is a little better than the Dunder-Mifflin branch in Scranton. Most of us aren't aspiring to build a "mega desk," but we *are* always looking to make our workspace just a little bit prettier than your average cubicle (which — let's face it — can be uninspiring).
Fear not, cubicle workers. These simple craft and decor ideas are a nonpermanent way to make the space that you work in your own, plus they're easily customizable to fit your own taste (and some of them help you get organized). Don't feel guilty if you can't keep your desk plant alive — there are plenty of other ways to decorate your cubicle. From organization tools to design flourishes, here are the most chic cubicle decor ideas to personalize your mini office!
Photo Wallpaper
This idea works well if you have some blank space between shelves that you'd like to brighten up. You can print a grid of your favorite pictures as a poster, or cut out photos and hang them next to each other (which is easy if you use Instagram photos, since they're all the same size!)
Personalize Your Clipboard
Attaching your photos and memorabilia to a personalized clipboard is a much more interesting way to show off your photos than in a picture frame.
Wallpaper Your Drawers
Adding a bit of wallpaper, or even printed pattern paper, to the bottom of your drawer can add a personalized touch to a standard desk.
DIY Mousepad
Mouse pads don't have to be blank and boring! This DIY polkadot pattern is a simple way to add some sparkle to your workspace.
DIY Acrylic Tray
You can cut down on clutter and keep organized with this DIY acrylic tray. It's the perfect place to keep your phone, pencils, coffee mug, and just about everything else.
Mason Jar of Flowers
There's nothing like some fresh flowers to brighten up your work space, and keeping them in a painted Mason jar like this adds a homey touch.
DIY Pencil Holder
A vintage tin can easily doubles as retro-looking pencil holder.
Old School Chalkboard
Whether you are writing an inspirational quote or checking things off your to-do list, notes will definitely look better on a cute board like this one.
Hang Your Cards
Instead of stuffing all the birthday and Christmas cards you received in a drawer somewhere, try hanging them along the wall of your cubicle on clothespin line. Besides looking very cute, you'll be reminded of all the sweet things your friends have to say about your the other 364 days a year.
Hang a Print
Give your old "hang in there" poster a refresh by replacing it with a more personalized quote that you can find online.
