Working in a cubicle doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style and personalization. You can create a space that’s not only functional but also reflects your personality and boosts your creativity. Here are some ideas to help you decorate your cubicle at work:
1. Add some color: Start by painting the interior of your cubicle or using colorful wallpaper as a backdrop. Bright colors can make the environment more lively and cheerful, enhancing your mood and productivity.
2. Bring in plants: Incorporating some greenery into your workspace can make a huge difference. Plants not only add aesthetic appeal but also improve air quality, reduce stress, and boost overall well-being. Choose low-maintenance plants like succulents or small potted herbs that don’t require much care.
3. Hang inspiring artwork: Personalize your cubicle with artwork or prints that inspire you or reflect your interests. Choose motivational quotes or images that ignite creativity and bring positive vibes to your work environment.
4. Utilize wall space: Maximize the available vertical space by hanging shelves, corkboards, or wall organizers on the walls of your cubicle. This will provide additional storage options for office supplies, files, or personal items without cluttering up your desk.
5. Add functional accessories: Invest in desk organizers like pencil holders, file trays, and wire baskets to keep things tidy and easily accessible. Use colorful folders or binders to differentiate important documents from others.
6. Personalize with pictures: Display photos of loved ones, pets, or memorable moments on your desk using picture frames or hanging them with decorative clips on a string of fairy lights. This will give you a sense of connection and remind you of the people who matter most to you.
7. Incorporate mood lighting: Adjusting overhead fluorescent lights might not always be possible in an office setting; therefore, consider adding desk lamps with warm-colored bulbs to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Fairy lights or string lights can also add a touch of elegance and ambiance.
8. Play with textures: Use textured wallpapers or fabric to give your cubicle a unique look. This will add depth and visual interest to an otherwise plain space.
9. Make it cozy: Add cushions or a small rug underneath your desk chair that complements the color scheme of your cubicle. This will make your seating area comfortable and help define a designated workspace within the larger area.
10. Don’t forget about scents: Consider using scented candles, diffusers, or air fresheners to create a pleasant aroma in your workspace. Pleasant smells can boost mood and productivity.
Remember, when decorating your cubicle at work, ensure that you abide by any rules or guidelines set by your employer regarding personalization and safety. Keep things organized and clutter-free to maintain productivity while still enjoying a visually appealing workspace that makes you feel at ease 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 : 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....
