The best time to choose wall coloring is when the office is clear of clutter and empty. Right when you sign your lease, you should begin pondering wall coloring that will be attractive and professional. Plain white walls lack sophistication and give your office a drab feel. One of the biggest professional transformations you can make to your office space is painting the walls an elegant and sophisticated color. Avoid bright colors and stick to more subtle browns, greens, and taupes. If you visit your local paint supplier, you may be able to find premixed paints that go with your theme at a discounted price. If you are not skilled with painting, hire professionals to get the clean lines and consistent coating you need.

Your computer desk and seating is key when you are going for a professional look. While there are cheap computer desks on the market today that are very affordable, you must choose a desk that has room for organizing files and folders so that the first thing you see is free space and not clutter. Wholesalers and liquidators offer quality desks and office furnishings for less. While these are not new, they are restored to look new and cost less than half of the price of new applications.

Once you have the wall coloring and furnishings in place, all you need to do is add some simple decor. Plants and wall hangings are very affordable and appealing applications that will transform your office space. Do not over decorate and keep it simple. Once you furnish and decorate your new office space, you will be proud to open your doors to new clients.

Decorating your work space or office building can pose a challenge even for a professional designer. You'll have to deal with large spaces, big empty walls, and buying decor pieces and canvas wall art. Furniture can easily fill up floor space but your walls can be more difficult to decorate.

Hanging paintings or canvas prints in small rooms is easy but decorating bigger spaces like walls in a high ceiling lobby or a long hallway can be difficult. There is a solution to decorating huge walls in an office building by hanging oversized paintings.

You can get one single piece of painting or use canvas art sets. These canvas sets compose of 2 to over 8 pieces of canvas to make a bigger artwork. It's practical in a way because it will be easier to hang sets due to smaller sizes of the canvas pieces.

Imagine the trouble of installing a wall sized painting at an office lobby. Hanging several smaller canvas pieces makes more sense since the artwork will be divided into several pieces that are smaller and lighter. These canvas art sets also come in different sizes.

There are rectangular sets that go vertically or horizontally. Some are square and others are offset. Offset canvas wall art are made of several pieces of canvas in different sizes. Making them look quite interesting and creative.

Abstract canvas in offset, oversized or in sets are very in demand for decorating offices, but you can also get other themes like a seascape or other subjects for a more casual look. A large seascape canvas would look great at a travel agency office.

Other places you can place oversized canvas art sets aside from offices are at hospitals, large restaurants, clubs and even in a residential home with a high ceiling. When buying your canvas wall art, remember that canvas sets can be hung inches apart making them wider or bigger.

Get paintings that would go with the surrounding. Abstracts would go well in a modern office, and traditional paintings for a more conventional look. Get artwork painted on gallery wrapped canvas so you can hang them as soon as you get them.

Great choice to decorate your temporary office walls.
