Imagine your file cabinet, desk or even the door to your office having a unique exterior! Metal file cabinets are often plain and dull, but if painted a bright color, would be an unexpected yet pleasant addition to any office. If a more traditional look is desired, wood finishes are always a popular choice and add warmth and a cozy feel.
A fresh coat of paint can make a world of difference. If your office area is open to other rooms in the house, choose a wall color that complements the surrounding areas, perhaps using a shade lighter or darker with the same color range. A textured but neutral wall finish is also a great choice to give the office its own distinct look. Bright accent colors and patterned walls can add their own unique look to a space as well.
