Here’s an easy question for today: what’s the nicest thing you’ve bought for your office, whether at home or at work? Did you splurge on a decorator or a fancy chair, or perhaps a great piece of art? Do share…
In the past, we’ve talked about how to make your office more comfortable, essential items to keep at your work desk, how to decorate your workspace, where to get cute office decor, how to improve ergonomics at the office, and how to liven up your office walls… we’ve also rounded up the very best office chairs for women!
We’ve also talked about some of our favorite weird products to keep at the office: pashminas, foldable flats, items to cool you down after a sweltering commute, and mini-fridges if your situation allows!
When I was at the law firm, I didn’t splurge very much on my office because it all felt really temporary, even though I was there for six years — but some of my colleagues definitely had couches, artwork, even (for the partners) wallpaper and drapes.
For my current home office, I think the nicest thing I bought for my office was splurging on a decorator — I have a navy and hot pink theme (shocker) but it feels pulled together and happy — it’s also nice to have a somewhat girly space, complete with a hot pink armchair and a bookshelf displaying all my fashion-related books.
My artwork purchases have been pretty thrifty — I have a painting that I absolutely adore but got at a local auction for $50, so it wasn’t terribly expensive. Based on reader recommendations, I also recently bought a Steelcase Leap chair on auction for about $150. (No complaints, although it’s so much lower than my former Ikea chair… I’m still kind of getting used to it!)
Otherwise, my big office expenses have been tech things… two monitors, a nice computer that now needs to be upgraded, etc.
How about you guys — what’s the nicest thing you’ve bought for your office, whether at home or at work? Did you splurge on a decorator or a fancy chair, or perhaps a great piece of art?
