For many of us, our office is our second home, so the environment we create for ourselves there is essential for our well-being at the workplace. An attractive, personalized office that is not only functional, but comfortable as well can boost creativity, productivity and motivation, so here are a few easy tips how to make your office feel like a second home, indeed:

• Add color – most offices use neutral colors. Break that dullness with colorful objects, such as a brightly-colored tray for your office supplies.

• Use task lights or desktop lamps instead of the harsh light on the ceiling – a small lamp can add functionality as well as style to your office space.

• Get some plants – even the tiniest cactus can bring your office space to life. If your office is large enough, you can bring in multiple potted plants, placed strategically in corners or on shelves.

• Use a classy rug – if your office is sufficiently spacious and it has a hardwood floor, you can add a splash of color with a stylish rug in the middle of the floor.Be sure to have one of the new design ergonomic office chairs for healthy sitting.

• Hang artwork on the walls – even offices that are crammed with shelves and filing cabinets have some bare wall space that you can decorate with print-outs of your favorite artwork.
