Working Space Like on Pinterest: 5 Ideas for Decoration

To thoughtfully plan the design of a workspace, it's important to train your eye for aesthetics. Photo collections help with this: everyone has at least once seen an interior they want to recreate right now. Do you dream of a perfect workspace that will definitely be saved on Pinterest?

We tell how to decorate a stylish space where you can comfortably spend your working hours.

Winning minimalism

Clutter on the desk can distract from work and reduce productivity. Choosing a minimalist design solves several problems: such interiors don't go out of style, and effective space organization maintains a work mindset.

Place the table against the wall, install shelves above it with storage systems: arrange documents in boxes or folders, get convenient stands. If you plan to decorate a workspace by the window sill, you can place a shelf next to the table.

Your choice of materials and color palette is up to you, but we recommend favoring subdued tones (white, gray, black, brown) and natural textures (wooden table). Don't forget about neat decoration: minimalism implies few details, but a small plant or figurine will fit well into the interior.

Effective use of space

This solution suits owners of small apartments. To make every square meter useful, pay attention to practical furniture: for example, tables combined with shelves, window sills or foldable tables. If there's little space in the room, buy a folding chair that can be stored when needed.

Warmth can be added with accessories — a small vase or a miniature framed picture. By the way, compact organizers mounted on walls help unload surfaces. For more visual effect, use light cool tones in decoration — current green, blue or gray.

Tip from INMYROOM: Worried that you need a drill or perforator for decoration? Fortunately, thanks to Scotch™ mounting tape from 3M, you no longer need special expensive tools to decorate a room.

Workspace decoration hacks: A chalkboard above the desk will be both a convenient place for notes and stylish decoration. Secure it using Scotch mounting tape from 3M. You can easily handle this task yourself, without specialists, tools, or dirt!

The tape will also help secure a small shelf where you can place miniature pictures or frames with memorable photos. Strong mounting withstands up to 10 kg load, resists moisture and sunlight. This option suits painted concrete, wooden, and metal surfaces.

In the workspace, we recommend actively using the walls: hang organizers, calendars, maps, framed decor or headphone holders. For this idea, interior mounting tape works great, providing strong adhesion to most surfaces. By the way, you can add more light to the space and easily install LED strips — they handle loads up to 4.5 kg.

Scotch transparent tape joins glass and clear plastic surfaces inside dry rooms: mount decor or a transparent organizer on the glass and work comfortably!

To make self-adhesive mounting effective, follow these instructions:

Step 1: Pre-treat the surface with alcohol and let it dry.

Step 2: Measure the required length and cut a piece of tape with scissors. Press the tape firmly to the back side of the item you plan to mount. Continue pressing for 30 seconds.

Step 3: If possible, roll over the entire length of the tape.

Step 4: Remove the protective layer and firmly press the item to the surface for 30 seconds.

Stylish workspace on a balcony

Pinterest often features offices built right on balconies, and you can use this example. The balcony should be insulated first: warm floors and good windows will handle the task. You can create a compact workspace against the wall, or if space allows, organize a full office with a resting area. Place a small table and chairs — here you will comfortably sip your cup of coffee during a break.

Experiment with colors and textures: deep blue or soft dusty pink walls work well for wall decoration. Above the table, it's best to install shelves where you can place stationery and decorative items.

Abundance of colors

If you don't like neutral tones, draw inspiration from colorful and bold interiors. You don't have to paint a yellow or orange wall — you can add accents using furniture, paintings, and other accessories. Place bright storage boxes on white shelves, choose an eye-catching chair or a table with a colored countertop.

Experts say that bright tones positively affect brain activity, but don't overdo it: if creative clutter in the workspace becomes chaos, it can distract.

Crystal white interior

White interiors are popular among Pinterest users. If you share the love for this shade, decorate your workspace in white. A winning solution will be light wallpapers and furniture that contrast with other details — for example, a wooden countertop or transparent chair.

Remember that such a design needs accents or it will lose its appeal. Add green plants to the shelves or hang a blackboard on the wall where you can write down work tasks. Also note that white surfaces are easily stained, so if your job involves drafting or using coloring materials, this option won't suit you.
