The way you decorate your office says a lot about your business. Your decor and your overall office design needs to reflect the identify of your business. If you avoid this, anyone who enters your office will have no idea who you are or what you’re about.
So, how can you add character to your office without going over the top? Specifically, how can you add character to your decor if you have a minimalist office interior already? If you have only the office furniture you need, you’ve scaled back, and you’re focused on minimising waste and creating a calm environment, you’re minimalist.
But, that doesn’t mean you can’t create a fun environment in your space and a decor that looks the part. After all, you need to impress visitors to ensure that they get the right first impression of you as a business.
Here are a few ideas you can use.
- Biophilic elements - Minimalism and biophilic design work hand in hand really well. This means that you have office plants, natural elements, and perhaps even a living wall in your space. By pulling everything else back to basics and then adding in these pops of green with natural, living things, you’re creating a really sleek and beautiful look to your space.
- Pops of colour - Just because you’ve gone for the minimalist look, doesn’t mean that you can’t have pops of colour to cheer things up and add character. All you need to do is just make sure that you don’t go overboard and that you keep everything matching. You could have stripes on the wall or you could have odd pieces of artwork here and there.
- A feature wall - By keeping the rest of the space plain, a feature wall will really pop and look extremely impressive for anyone visiting the office. You can wallpaper it with some funky design or you can just paint it in one single colour. The choice is yours.
- A twist on the regular minimalist design - Of course, we all think that if you have a minimalist office you have a white office from head to toe. That's not the case. You can easily twist things and got monochrome, grey and white, and even have a white and one other colour look. You can always mix things up - just because the original design is one way, doesn’t mean you have to adhere to the so-called rules!
Now you know how to add serious character to your office decor, it’s time you grabbed a paintbrush!
