When it comes to our workspace, it’s important to feel inspired and motivated. One way to achieve that is by transforming your cubicle into a chic, stylish and personalized space that reflects your taste and personality. Gone are the days of dull office cubicles; it’s time to make your workspace a visually appealing sanctuary. Here are some tips on how to decorate your cubicle at work in a chic manner.
1. Start with a color scheme:
Choose a color scheme that resonates with you and matches your personal style. Opt for soft neutrals like whites, beiges, or greys as they create a calming atmosphere. Add pops of color through small decorative pieces such as vibrant desk accessories or artwork.
2. Invest in functional yet chic organization tools:
Clutter often leads to decreased productivity, so investing in stylish organization tools is essential. Look for elegant desk organizers, file folders, and decorative trays that not only keep things handy but also add aesthetic appeal.
3. Personalize with photos and artwork:
Bring personal touches into your cubicle by displaying favorite photos or artwork on the walls or shelves. Choose frames that match the overall color scheme to create a cohesive look.
4. Incorporate greenery:
Plants not only add visual interest to any space but also improve air quality and help reduce stress levels. Place small potted plants such as succulents or cacti on your desk or hang them from the walls for an instant boost of freshness.
5. Enhance lighting elements:
Most office spaces have harsh fluorescent lighting that can be unappealing. Soften the light by using desk lamps with warm bulbs or adding fairy lights around your cubicle for an ambient glow.
6. Add cozy textiles:
Make your cubicle feel more inviting and comfortable by incorporating soft textiles like cushions, throws, or rugs if possible (check with company policies). Opt for materials like velvet or faux fur to add a touch of luxury and warmth.
7. Choose inspirational wall decor:
Hang inspiring quotes, motivational posters, or artwork that resonates with your goals and aspirations. These visual cues can help keep you focused, motivated, and positive throughout the workday.
8. Minimize clutter:
Maintaining a clutter-free environment is vital for effective concentration and productivity. Invest in storage solutions such as drawer organizers or hanging shelves to keep your workspace tidy and organized.
9. Pay attention to small details:
Don’t forget about the little things that can make a big difference in your cubicle’s overall appearance. Consider using stylish desk accessories like pen holders, mouse pads, or decorative tape dispensers that reflect your personal style.
10. Incorporate personal scents:
Scented candles, diffusers, or air fresheners can instantly transform the atmosphere of your cubicle. Choose scents that are pleasing to you but not overpowering for yourself or your colleagues.
Remember, creating a chic cubicle at work is all about infusing your personality and style into an otherwise monotonous space. By following these tips, you can turn your dull workspace into a visually appealing haven that inspires productivity and creativity throughout the day.

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...

Description : Approach life at home the Madame Chic way: a beautiful, illustrated toolbox of tips and ideas for organizing, entertaining, and savoring a stylish life. When she arrived at Madame Chic’s Parisian apartment as a foreign exchange student, Jennifer Scott was a casual California girl who thought sweatpants were appropriate street attire. Madame Chic took Jennifer under her wing and tutored her in the secrets of how the French elevate the little things in life to the art of living. Years later, Jennifer was back in California with a husband, two young daughters, a dog, and her first home. Every day she confronted mundane duties like folding laundry and unloading the dishwasher, and she began to think about Madame Chic’s home—how the breakfast table was set beautifully the night before, the music that always played in the background, the calm of Madame and Monsieur Chic’s ritual cocktail hour together. Jennifer wanted that life. She decided to see what would happen if she didn’t perform her chores impatiently or mindlessly, if, instead, she could live like Madame Chic. At Home with Madame Chic reveals the secrets to having a happy, fulfilling, and passionate life at home. Jennifer explains the morning send-off need not be chaotic, it’s possible to look stylish with minimal time and effort, a little forethought makes it possible to serve a home-cooked dinner every night, and details like music and scented candles can set the tone for the whole family’s evening. Organized by the pleasures that can be found throughout the day, this charming, helpful book is full of ideas, playlists, recipes, beauty routines, and advice that can turn an irritating day into an enjoyable experience....
