As light allows you to be more creative and more productive. If you do not have the option to put your desk by windows then put a lot of lamps for having a bright light in the room.
2. Add mood lights: This is also a point regarding light. You can add mood lights in your office. You may put string lights or any other light that lifts up your mood. You may also create a good ambience in your office with a good lighting.
3. Hang calming pictures of outdoor landscapes: If you don’t have a window in the office or if you are in a cubicle you can hand calming pictures of outside landscapes like an open field, or landscape of an ocean. This would give you an illusion that you are outside. It will allow for some positivity or peacefulness at work and increase your productivity.
Visual calendars and flowers for office space
