When it comes to corporate life, spending long hours in a dull and boring cubicle can be uninspiring. However, you don’t have to settle for a drab workspace. By adding some elements of casual decor, you can transform your cubicle into a vibrant and inviting space that boosts your mood and productivity. Here are some tips on how to decorate your cubicle at work in a casual style.
1. Add Colorful Cushions or Throws: Start by introducing pops of color into your cubicle. Consider bringing in cushions or throws in bright hues that complement your personal style. Not only do they add visual interest, but they also make your workspace more comfortable and cozy.
2. Hang Inspiring Artwork: Surround yourself with pieces of art that inspire and motivate you throughout the day. Opt for cheerful prints or motivational quotes that resonate with your goals and values. Hang them on the walls or use mini easels to display them on your desk.
3. Bring in Indoor Plants: One of the easiest ways to infuse life into any space is by incorporating indoor plants. Not only do they purify the air, but they also add an element of freshness to your surroundings. Low-maintenance plants like succulents or small potted flowers are perfect for a casual cubicle setup.
4. Display Personal Mementos: Make your workspace feel uniquely yours by featuring personal mementos that hold sentimental value. Whether it’s photographs of loved ones, souvenirs from memorable trips, or quirky keepsakes, having these items within sight can give you an instant mood lift during hectic workdays.
5. Utilize Cute Desk Accessories: Replace bland office supplies with colorful and playful alternatives to add personality to your cubicle decor. Look for cute pen holders, patterned file folders, or unique paperweights that reflect your taste and style.
6. Incorporate Soft Lighting: Harsh fluorescent lighting can contribute to a sterile and cold office environment. Combat this by incorporating soft lighting elements in your cubicle. Desk lamps with warm-toned bulbs, fairy lights, or even a small salt lamp can create a cozier atmosphere and make your space more inviting.
7. Invest in a Comfortable Chair: Since you’ll be spending most of your day sitting, investing in a comfortable chair is essential. Look for ergonomic options that provide lumbar support and adjustable features to ensure proper posture and reduce discomfort during long work sessions.
Remember, while decorating your cubicle, it’s crucial to strike a balance between personalization and professionalism. Make sure not to clutter the space or introduce distractions that may negatively impact your productivity or annoy colleagues nearby.
By incorporating casual decor elements into your workspace, you can create an environment that reflects your personality and helps you feel more at ease during those long work hours. So go ahead and transform that boring cubicle into an inviting haven that motivates you to do your best work.

Description : From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together...

The Innovation Race takes readers on a lively global adventure to explore the current state of innovation. Along the way best-selling authors Andrew and Gaia Grant search for clues on how to stay ahead in the race and design a more sustainable future. Asking the critical questions - Why do we innovate? Are we at risk of innovating for the sake of innovation? What could we be doing better? - the Grants reflect on whether, if in the race to come up with ‘the next big thing,' we may be losing the purpose behind the process. They then outline how to navigate the key paradoxical challenges that can either frustrate or fuel innovation to change the game. By taking the latest academic research and presenting it in an accessible way, the Grants present a compelling case for forging a new path for the future. The Innovation Race provides concrete strategies to support purpose-driven sustainable innovation through deep cultural transformation. A unique profiling tool reveals current organisation positioning along with potential opportunities and challenges. A practical culture change model then provides clear direction for proactive change.

Description : A New York Times Notable Book • Daily Beast Best Nonfiction of 2014 • Inc. Magazine's Most Thought-Provoking Books of the Year “Man is born free, but he is everywhere in cubicles.” How did we get from Scrooge’s office to “Office Space”? From bookkeepers in dark countinghouses to freelancers in bright cafes? What would the world be like without the vertical file cabinet? What would the world be like without the office at all? In Cubed, Nikil Saval chronicles the evolution of the office in a fascinating, often funny, and sometimes disturbing anatomy of the white-collar world and how it came to be the way it is. Drawing on the history of architecture and business, as well as a host of pop culture artifacts—from Mad Men to Dilbert (and, yes, The Office)—and ranging in time from the earliest clerical houses to the surprisingly utopian origins of the cubicle to the funhouse campuses of Silicon Valley, Cubed is an all-encompassing investigation into the way we work, why we do it the way we do (and often don’t like it), and how we might do better....
