No matter where you work or what your profession is, take some time to decorate your office. Most people spend at least 40 hours a week in the office, so it is important to create a space where you can be productive and that makes your work a little more enjoyable. Your office tells others who you are, so make it simple, organized, comfortable, and above all professional, but also warm and with a personal touch.

Neutral colors, such as white, beige, brown or brown are good for professional offices, while a wide range of bright colors could be fine in another environment, such as kindergartens or art studios.
