It never hurts adding some colour and personality to an office, regardless of whether it’s the regular or home office – a workplace is a workplace. It is a place that should provide us with peace as well as inspire us and promote productivity. There are multiple ways in which we can enrich our office walls to be more eye-catching. Of course, you can always choose between ready-made wall art and DIY wall art. With DIY art, some free time and creativity, we can make it even more personal and emotionally appealing. These art pieces can complement your interests, opinions, attitudes, your family, or your office décor. You can use all kinds of materials and ideas – the sky is the limit! If you need some creative inspiration and help, take a look at some amusing wall design ideas to take to the office.

1. Simple canvas paintings

Paintings are an effective form of wall decoration and they usually adorn office walls, both in companies and home offices. They are a perfect way to add some personality to space. And an even better way to do that rather than buying a ready-made painting is to paint one yourself. However, we are not all gifted painters. But the good thing is that you don’t have to be an artist to make an effective painting. Some popular options include drip paintings, where you let some paint drip from the top of the painting to create art. You can mix and match different colours as well as shades to match your office design. Even though it sounds simple, it’s very effective.

2. Powerful fabric wall art

This is quite a trend nowadays and people use different fabrics to create an eye-catching artistic display, which will adorn their office walls. It’s pretty simple, you need a canvas, some glue and amusing fabric for this fabulous idea. You can use natural elements, geometric shapes, or even some fabric with abstract motives. What’s also a popular option in companies is using fabric for creating a media wall, which is a great way to display a certain message and to promote a service or a product. Everybody is bound to notice highly personalized walls such as these. It is an effective way to send a message to people.

3. The use of photos as a form of art

Besides the already mentioned forms of art, there is also one which we shouldn’t skip due to its high emotional appeal. Yes – we’re talking about some cherished memories and family photos. Having photos of personal memories is known to evoke positive feelings, increase happiness and boost our motivation levels. So, why not use them as art? You can create some fantastic photo collages, displayed in different amusing shapes. You can also choose different photo sizes, frames and display types. You can also add a nice personal touch to your office by opting for black and white photos if that fits into your overall office design and the vibe you’re going for.

4. Artistic display of geometric shape

The use of geometric shapes has long been present in creating art. Even though it doesn’t perhaps sound appealing, art created in this way can be awesome. And what’s best is that you don’t have to be a professional painter to create it. For example, you can take four canvases and stamp little hearts on them. Each canvas can be dedicated to one colour and different shades of it, in an ombre effect. Using different materials such as the tape to create a zig-zag pattern which you can then paint different colours is also a possibility. Moreover, when speaking about geometric shapes we mustn’t forget to mention the use of circles. They can be used in multiple ways. For example, colourful concentric circles would add a great bold touch to an otherwise dull office. Also, stripes are a form of art that everyone can create with the help of tape and a few shades of the same or perhaps even different colours. You can make it soft, soothing or bold and eye-catching, depending on the effect you’re trying to achieve.

5. Mysterious abstract art

And of course, everybody should try creating some fun abstract art. There isn’t one way to create it – it is highly versatile. You can take your paintbrush and swirl it around the canvas until you’re satisfied with the look of the painting. It’s easy with the right inspiration. However, it might be difficult if we don’t have it, so it’s maybe better left to some times when we feel highly motivated.

Art is a great way to add some personality to the walls of your office and consequently to the whole vibe it breathes. With some creativity, free time and basic supplies you can create some amazing artwork everybody will appreciate.
