10 decorating ideas for professional offices

Would you like to transform your office into a space where inspiration and well-being reign supreme? There's more to decorating a workspace than a few plants and standardized furniture. If you want your offices to be both inspiring and pleasant to live in, you need a design that reflects your identity and makes people want to move in. Think aesthetically, but also practically, so that every space makes you want to create, collaborate and feel good.

Why is decorating your office essential?

Decorating your office isn't just a question of style or trends. Above all, it's a way of providing your teams with a space that's a pleasure to work in. A pleasant office is a place where you feel good, where inspiration comes more easily and where motivation is high. What's more, who doesn't love walking into a welcoming, well-thought-out office?

By taking the time to spruce up your premises, you're also showing that you care about your employees and their comfort. This has a positive impact on the general atmosphere, team cohesion and even the image you project to visitors. In short, decorating your offices is a small gesture that makes all the difference!

Discover our 10 decorating ideas that will take your offices to the next level!

1. Create an interactive expression wall

To bring dynamism and creativity into your office, install an interactive expression wall. Use slate paint, magnetic boards or cork panels to hang ideas, drawings or notes.

✔️ Deskeo tip: Use photo frames to display completed projects or inspirations, and add metal or wooden wall letters to add character and personalize the space.

2. Incorporate decorative acoustic panels

To improve acoustics while adding a decorative touch, acoustic panels made of felt or perforated wood are ideal. You can personalize them with wall motifs to make them an element of interior decoration.

✔️ Deskeo tip: Install panels around meeting areas or open spaces to reduce noise pollution.

3. Opt for glass partitions with glazing

Glass partitions with glazed panels can be used to delimit spaces while maintaining natural light. To reinforce visual identity, opt for geometric patterns or black-and-white graphics.

✔️ The Deskeo tip: Opt for removable glass or wood partitions to separate spaces without completely partitioning them. This makes it easy to adjust the layout to suit different activities: meetings, quiet areas or collaborative work.

4. Create themed relaxation zones

Create cocooning spaces with comfortable sofas, bohemian cushions and rattan poufs. For an industrial feel, choose black metal and raw wood furniture.

✔️ Deskeo tip: Vary the ambience: a jungle corner with cacti and hanging plants, or a reading area with a bookcase and oak armchairs. Choose your themes according to the atmosphere you want to create and the image you want to convey to employees and visitors. If you'd like your offices to be both practical and in keeping with your corporate identity, the Deskeo team is here to guide you and offer tailor-made solutions.

5. Install designer and functional lighting fixtures

Lighting is essential for creating a pleasant atmosphere. Mix designer pendant lights, adjustable desk lamps and string lights for flexible lighting.

✔️ Deskeo tip: To vary the mood, play with different types of lighting: designer pendant lights for communal areas, adjustable desk lamps for precise lighting and string lights to create a warm atmosphere. Don't hesitate to mix styles - light wood for a natural look, black metal for an industrial touch - to personalize each area according to its use.

6. Incorporate natural elements

Opt for natural wood furniture, jute baskets for storing supplies, and metal planters for your plants. The result is a warm, authentic look.

7. Personalize spaces with local artwork

Hang posters by local artists or wood carvings to create a warmer, more authentic living space. Works of art personalize offices and reflect your corporate identity.

Deskeo tip: install wall-mounted shelves to display potted plants or decorative objects.

8. Use motivating wall stickers

Wall stickers are an easy way to personalize a space. Choose positive messages or graphic illustrations to energize white walls.

Deskeo's tip: to give your walls a sense of relief, use a variety of frames. Alternate sizes, shapes and finishes (matte black, raw wood, gold) for a modern gallery effect. You can also mix graphic posters, team photos and decorative objects to create an eye-catching, personalized wall.

9. Create modular workspaces

Modular furniture saves space while remaining practical. Use trestles, fold-down tables and storage pedestals on wheels to organize space as needed.

Deskeo tip: To structure the space while preserving an open atmosphere, opt for open shelves as partitions. They provide a light, aesthetically pleasing separation between zones, as well as storage space for decorative objects, plants or supplies.

10. Set up an original signage system

To improve traffic flow, install decorative plaques, directional arrows and signage. Choose durable materials such as lacquered metal or solid wood.

Deskeo tip: To add style to your signage, you can vary your approach: sleek directional signs for a modern look, colorful panels for a more dynamic ambience, or wooden supports for a warm, natural feel. And don't forget pictograms to facilitate understanding. Deskeo will work with you to design a signage system that reflects your image, combining practicality and aesthetics.
