Beyond Office Wall Décor: Pro Tips

ElephantStock's interior design expert Elimar Lobo Sáenz shares her tips for home office design:

“[Your home office décor] should be simple but significant. Hide everything but the essentials with a storage unit that matches your personality. Be creative! This will help create a peaceful and pleasant area to enhance focus and attention to detail. Build an organized workspace by investing in quality furniture and hiding unnecessary clutter. Make it your own! Customize everything from the wall colors to the types of storage. Encourage your creativity, create a sense of cohesion, and make sure you feel calm and comfortable.”

Office Wall Décor: Pro Tips

Our resident designer Yoko Chow (of Yoko Chow LLC) explains the importance of hanging wall art in a visible area in your workspace:

“Artwork should be placed in your line of sight to provide a break. It is up to individual taste, but I suggest you keep in mind that the room needs to be designed to improve or maintain work efficiency while limiting unnecessary distractions.”

Office Wall Art Ideas: Sizes

If you’re stumped on sizing, our comprehensive guide can help. Follow our expert instructions below to choose the best dimensions for your office space:

Your wall art should take about 60% to 75% of the available empty wall space, the portion not covered by moldings or furniture. Measure the height and width of the wall. Now, multiply the measurements by both 0.6 and 0.75. As a result, you will get the range of canvas print sizes to suit the space.

For instance, if your blank wall is 9 feet tall and 5 feet wide, multiply 9 by 0.6 to get the low end of the ideal height range. Then multiply 9 by 0.75 to get the high end of the ideal height range. Do the same for your wall's 5 feet width. The ideal height of the canvas would be 5.4 feet - 6.75 feet and the ideal width would be 3 feet - 3.75 feet.

Wall art that you want to hang over furniture, such as a fireplace, a bed or a couch, should be between 2/3 and 3/4 of the furniture's width. To measure the ideal art size above your furniture, consider this example: If your couch is 6 feet wide, multiply it by 0.66 and 0.75. You need a canvas between 3.96 feet and 4.5 feet wide to fit impressively above the couch.

Balance Style and Productivity

Beyond Office Wall Décor: Pro Tips

Décor and design expert Elimar Lobo Sáenz expands on the balance of style and efficiency:

“Form and functionality shouldn’t be regarded as two separate concepts when designing. Both are equally important and must be considered in order to achieve a comfy working area.

Start by creating a space where you can focus and stay motivated. Your home office should be in an area where your productivity won’t be negatively affected either by distractions nor unhealthy conditions. A good location will help you with your workflow, and a well-lit space will give you peace of mind while you work.”

Colors for Your Workspace

Neutral colors are ideal for your workspace. Avoid shades that are too distracting or overwhelming. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t add a pop of color!

White Wall Décor Ideas

White walls in your office allow you to have more freedom with wall art. A bright white space is begging for accessories and statement pieces. Choose a piece of art in a color like blue, green, or purple for a look that is both calming and creative.
