If you work in a cubicle, then you know the challenge. How can I make my small space more homey? Fun? Airy? Colorful? Enjoyable?
Here are 28 DIY cubicle decor ideas to jazz up your space using inexpensive items that you just might already have lying around!
1) Elevate your laptop to eye level: This will help your posture and your neck muscles making you less weary at the end of the day! You can either stack some interesting ‘coffee table’ books or purchase a “laptop lifter” at any office store.
2) Make your own tassel garland to brighten up your cubbie! Click here to learn how to make your own. It’s super easy and super cute! 🙂
3) Place a cool carpet sample under your keyboard – because you can! There are a lot of carpet stores out there where these small pieces are free!
4) Use a fancy / fun calendar! Don’t just use the free one from your dentist…go find one that makes your work and planning FUN! Easy decor idea!
5) Turn your cubicle wall background into a wall of art decor. Let your space represent YOU!
6) Add small plant life to liven up your space. Small plants bring the nature indoors to you. And these small succulents are a great choice because they don’t need much care and they don’t have pollen (which can irritate your office mates with allergies).
7) Or, these tiny ‘air plants’ (aka Tillandsia) that require ZERO care. {that’s for me!} **it’s the tiny one in the giraffe planter.
8) Add googly-eyes and ribbons to your office equipment. Why not?
9) Take a large scale print and cut/mount on foam board for a cubicle wall covering. Click here to learn how to do this! Works great too with a personal photo. 🙂
10) A lamp adds instant warmth. Like home.
11) Or, string up some Christmas lights around your cubicle for some extra GLAM! *My personal favorite because you can never have too many little lights!
12) Jazz up your snack offering with colorful sticky notes! *donuts, yes please.
13) Gold spray paint can glam up a set of rocks for some AWESOME bookends!! How easy is that for decor?
14) Surround yourself with INSPIRATION! Be your best cheerleader. 🙂
15) Frame your artwork or family photos in cheap matching frames!

18) Drink your morning coffee from a cup that makes you smile!
