office decor

anyone have any ideas about what I should put on my wall?  I have tiny office and the walls are boring beige.  I have nothing on the wall.  I work in psych, so was thinking perhaps something inspirational, one of those beautiful landscapes or something.  I'm very open to suggestion.  Please help.  TIA

Re: office decor

  • Do you have any landscape pictures that you've taken that you could put up? Or some family pictures- maybe printed on canvas? I like to have personal items up or pictures that mean something to me (maybe a picture of a place you've visited).

  • Ikea has a ton of great options...I could spend an hour in the decor section alone!  I really love their canvas pictures (I have a giant one on my living room wall).  They also have an endless amount of scenery/landscape posters that you can get for around $10 and then get a frame.  I have another giant picture on my wall like that and that only cost $30.  You could do a collage of smaller ones though like these-

    Can you do things that are somewhat permanent? A wall decal is another idea.  There's a million on Etsy.  I'll see if I can dig some up.

    ETA:  Here are some decals, but I'm thinking you'd have to email to see how "removable" they are from a wall.

    Anyway, if you like those just go to Etsy and type in "inspirational wall decals"

  • Pretty sure decals are a no-no.  I prefer not to put up family pictures as I always have clients in my office.  Oh, and I may have failed to mention, my office is tiny and has one of those tacky two way mirrors (used to be an observation room) so I really need to focus on making it less institutional.

  • These are on sale right now, and perhaps you could buy them in the store in Edina too?  I think the mirrors would help the room to seem larger.

    And then perhaps one print/painting?

    Oh I forgot to mention one major detail.  My tiny office also has one of those awesome two way mirrors (used to be an observation room), so any more mirrors will make me look like a major narcissist LOL. 

    I like the idea of a photo of a vacay.  Is my avatar ocean pic lame?  Its from the resort where we got married

    edit: The nest gods are totally effin with me!  I keep getting an error message and realize that the past two posts are redundantEmbarrassed

  • You did mention the observational mirror.  I'm sorry!  I was thinking you were on the observing side, not the observed side.  :)

    I think the photo in your avatar is nice, and perhaps you could frame a couple more with it to do a set of three?  Otherwise it would have to be fairly good sized to hang by itself.

    Oh, I like the idea of a set.  Let's see if I have three ::off to look::
