Fab Decor: Office Space
Working in events marketing and promotions means my workplace is filled with random objects. Besides the lookbooks, catalogs, signs and brochures, various non-traditional office items can be found. Here is an exemplary list of things that make my office a famous stopping ground on the way to the company cooler.
- wigs and costumes (for street promotions – I had an entire closet bursting with this stuff at my last workplace which made everyday seem like Halloween and made everyone want to stop and play dress up)
- clothes and accessories (for fashion shows which make me crave a “you can look but don’t touch” sign)
- CDs (I often double as the event’s DJ and have to choose the music for special events. Finally, my age-old Columbia House membership has come to good use!)
- raffle baskets and prizes galore (this could mean anything from a giant Estee Lauder beauty basket sitting on my desk to giant stuffed animals sitting in my extra chairs)
- fake mustaches, top hats and other crazy props (for a photo booth, not for me. Really.)
- tiaras and princess rings (for a kid’s princess party. Again, I have the silliest time convincing others that these are not for me but for a future work event.)
Naturally, co-workers are tempted to interrupt me at every walk-by. They can’t seem to resist inviting themselves in, trying on a tiara or top hat and giggling their way through each new discovery. I’ll have to post pictures of my office area at some point so you can see what I mean. But ’til then, I thought I’d post some pretty photos of work spaces that have me yearning for a little more organization and inspired storage space.

Now if only I could figure out a way to store all my strange office stuff without inviting the constant curiosity-peeked interruptions….
Tell me, what does your work space look like and what are your tips on keeping it look tidy and neat?
Decorating home office with large space is easier since you won’t think of space-saving solutions, plastic boxes are great help to keep unnecessary items.
Although not a priority, aesthetics is considered important when creating a makeshift office at home. Nevertheless, thanks for these inspiration photos.
Thanks for your comment!
