It's been more than a year now since you moved to your new work place and officially took over your new office. At first, you were busy decorating your new home and learning a new job, but now that you're settled in you start noticing again the same things that you noticed when you first arrived.

The walls are a bland, neutral colour and are looking decidedly depressing. The sun streaming in through the industry-quality blinds is barely enough to light a cupboard and the furniture is just about as plain and worn as it can get. You reckon that a decent amount of time has passed for you to start planning the redecoration of your office.

Naturally, before you begin it's always a good idea to make certain that those in charge won't have a problem with your redecoration plans. And remember that it is only an office and so you should treat your decorating plans as such.

Painting the walls a snazzy red colour possibly might not work. However, you could brighten things up a bit by repainting the walls a bright and airy colour that won't be an eyesore to anyone, least of all you. Then you could always take down those ancient blinds that have been hanging there since the early 1980's and replace them with something more pleasing and modern.

On the other hand, if the whole of the office is decorated in the same style with the same blinds hanging on every window, your a la mode changes might not go down too well with your colleagues. So, think twice before doing something drastic that changes the whole style and dynamic of the entire office.

There are, however, simpler ways you can carry out your office decorating project without too much hassle on your part and which doesn't necessarily need to be thought over too much. You could brighten up any room by placing a couple of flowering plants here and there around your office.

But, if you're at all like me and you don't have green fingers or if your presence is death to any plants near you, then maybe you shouldn't bother with plants. You could however bring in some bright prints and hang them up on your walls. Or perhaps you have children and they have painted some lovely pictures for you.

These also work well, and will show your co-workers another side of you. Don't get stressed out over anything though. You really don't need a simple redecorating job to add to the rest of your worries and besides an office decorating project should be fun and stress free.

Remember, your office decorating project need not mean your turning the whole office, or yourself, on its head. It should be something that you can live with on a daily basis.

After all, you're at your office most of the day, so it should be a place where you can be just as relaxed as you are in your own home.
