Gray everyday life in the office: how to make it more pleasant

Let's be honest: no one wants to spend working hours in a boring office with an uninteresting environment. This has a bad effect on your mood and productivity in general. But it’s worth diversifying the space a little - and everything will sparkle with new colors. How to do it? Read in our review...

Plants

Does your office have too much dark furniture and dirty coffee mugs? It is not surprising that workers and visitors do not feel comfortable. If the most interesting thing you can lay your eyes on is your computer monitor, why not add shades of green? Plants and flowers are a proven way to lift people's spirits. Bright pots will also add vibrant colors to the office.

Coffee

Treat

Treats make people smile. And it’s not always about taste - they can look very cool and attractive. Even if you don't encourage eating in the office, a little candy won't do any harm. Choose treats in fun wrappers and place them in pretty vases where you can see them. An additional incentive is provided to employees.

Stationery

Many companies buy white note paper and inexpensive ballpoint pens. There's nothing wrong with that. But if an employee spends 40 hours (or more) a week at a desk, the colorless office becomes boring. Considering this fact, purchase colorful office supplies - pens, pencils and markers with attractive designs, colorful stickers, staplers, hole punches - and everything else that is constantly in front of the eyes of workers.

Perhaps such a simple solution - fun stationery - will inspire your staff to new creative pursuits.

Music

Add music to the office - it literally costs nothing. At the same time, this can seriously change the mood of each employee. People will be more motivated if they switch from the usual silence to beautiful melodies. This greatly helps you focus on important tasks and increases productivity.

Paintings

Motivational posters or reproductions of paintings are a simple and inexpensive way to update the design of a room. Digital printing allows you to order single copies of any product, so the design of the walls can be changed quite often. Try 80s-style posters, or vibrant landscapes, or let your employees create directly. For example, a creative competition for the best caricature may well serve as a unifying factor.

Personalization

In addition to pictures, photographs of employees and images with the results of overall work can make the work atmosphere more homely. Organize joint events more often and invite a photographer. Photos of happy moments spent together will evoke pleasant associations among employees.

< h3>Casual Fridays

If the company has a dress code, allow employees to dress more casually at least once a week. A festive mood contributes to more efficient work.

Textiles

Bright pillows, curtains, chair covers - all this allows you to add bright spots and improve the perception of space. Try ordering textiles from digital printing houses - this way you will get products with a unique design that are not found in other offices.

So, there are many budget-friendly ways to enliven a “gray” office space and improve the mood and motivation of staff. In addition, visitors will feel more comfortable in an office with a pleasant design. So it's worth a try...
