Besides, home office decor can be highly functional and practical, so it will inspire you to work and enliven the space at the same time. Here are the coolest ideas that are functional and cool.
Wall Art
A wall art piece is a universal idea for any space, from a bathroom to living room. Make or buy a motivational one: a piece that inspires you to work, that brings positive thoughts or just hang some beautiful photos from your holidays: they will remind you of relaxation. A gallery wall is another cool idea, this is a great idea to decorate a plain wall and show off everything that you like. If you don’t feel like spoiling the walls making holes in them, just attach some ledges and put everything you like on them.

Memo Boards
This is the most popular idea for a home office: it’s not that decorative but it’s very functional and practical. It can be a cork wall or a chalkboard one, it’s ideal to use with magnets, to leave memos, attach shelves and notes. A new trend is attaching a grid, which looks more modern yet is also functional, and you may clip everything you like on it. If you don’t want to cover the whole wall, attach some cork trivets or a pegboard, you may attach various things to it including artworks and photos.

Mirrors
If your space is very refined, French country chic, glam, you may go for an oversized mirror in a vintage frame. Place it on the floor or attach to the wall, it will reflect the light and fill your room with it making it larger at the same time. Add a crystal chandelier or candelabras to achieve an exquisite feel. Moody spaces will also profit from such a solution as they will get more light and won’t look gloomy.
