The center I work at recently just acquired a new office space and my cube life was looking a little drab. Actually, it looked like a neon bar sign exploded in it. Highlighters, sharpies, and post its really need to tone down their color options. I feel like people usually dress up their work cubes/offices with pictures of their family and children's artwork. So unless I want to baby nap some kid and exploit them for their artwork, I decided I'd have to personalize my cube a little more subtly. I have gone with a more rustic clean look in my new cube using objects and art that I already owned but hadn't displayed properly. I now have a few lines of clipboards pinned up and can now interchange art, lists, and things that make me smile. I also framed a few art prints and bought this art print from Lloyd Gallery on Etsy. It's definitely what inspired the whole decor scheme with greens, browns, and grays. I was also really cool when I was younger and had a sweet pencil collection. It has kind of vanished due to me continually using said pencils until they were sharpened into non-existance. A branch pencil survived my sharpening (probably because I'd cut my finger off if I tried to sharpen it) and I added it to a vase to capture the "rustic" part of my scheme. I also now use a collator along one side of the cube that takes up a lot of empty space and gives me an area to have an organized mess. The collator always just sat on my desk folded up so it needed to be put to use and seriously looks amazing. To save money, consider buying a large art collection book at a bargain book rack and cut your favorite prints out and frame them. (There might be some legality issues with that so DIY at your own risk.) Now I just want to pick up a tiny globe and terrarium to complete the look! Anyone else get inspired to personalize their cube in an outside-of-the-cube way?
