If you spend a significant amount of time at your cubicle, why not make it a cozy and inspiring space? Decorating your cubicle is not only an excellent way to showcase your personality but also to boost productivity and creativity. By infusing a personal touch into your workspace, you can create an environment that feels inviting and enjoyable to work in. The best part? You don’t need to break the bank or hire a professional decorator; with some simple DIY techniques, you can transform your dull cubicle into a vibrant and uplifting sanctuary.
1. Start with decluttering:
Before diving into decorating, take some time to declutter your cubicle. Remove any unnecessary items or paperwork that may be cluttering up the space. A clean and organized area will provide the perfect canvas for your creative ideas.
2. Add color with removable wallpaper or fabric:
Inject life into your cubicle by incorporating colorful and patterned removable wallpaper or fabric on the walls around you. This easy DIY project can instantly transform a bland office space into a vibrant oasis. Choose patterns or colors that resonate with you and reflect your personal style.
3. Hang inspiring artwork or motivational quotes:
Hang inspiring artwork or motivational quotes on the walls of your cubicle to keep you motivated throughout the day. These small touches can significantly uplift your mood and create an atmosphere of positivity within your workspace.
4. Utilize desk accessories creatively:
Spruce up your desk by incorporating creative desk accessories such as colorful pen holders, unique paperweights, or quirky desk organizers. These small details will add character to your workstation while keeping things organized.
5. Bring in some greenery:
Plants have been proven to enhance productivity and reduce stress levels in workplaces. Introduce some greenery by placing small potted plants on top of shelves or desks within reach but without overcrowding the space.
6. Install soft lighting:
Harsh fluorescent lights can be quite unappealing and draining. Add a touch of warmth and coziness by incorporating soft lighting options like string lights or desk lamps. These will not only create a more pleasant ambiance but also reduce eye strain.
7. Personalize with photographs or mementos:
Displaying personal photographs or mementos in your cubicle helps create a sense of belonging and reminds you of the people and memories that bring you joy. Use picture frames or corkboards to showcase these personal touches.
8. DIY wall art:
Channel your inner artist by creating your own DIY wall art for your cubicle. Use canvas, paint, or even washi tape to design unique artworks that reflect your personality.
9. Incorporate comfortable seating options:
If possible, add a comfortable chair or cushion to make your workspace more inviting and ergonomic. Being physically comfortable can significantly impact productivity levels.
10. Stay organized with DIY storage solutions:
Clutter can hinder productivity and make it difficult to focus on tasks at hand. Create personalized storage solutions such as repurposing mason jars, shoeboxes, or file organizers to keep all essential items well-organized within easy reach.
Remember, decorating your cubicle should reflect your personality while remaining professional and respectful of the workspace environment. Keep in mind any company guidelines regarding decorations and ensure that nothing interferes with the functionality of your cubicle or disturbs others around you.
By following these easy DIY tips, you can transform your cubicle into a space that inspires creativity, productivity, and happiness – ultimately making work more enjoyable!

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...

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?
