Do’s: Diplomas, Maps, Tasteful Art, Plants<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You’ll want to display items that have a connection to your work in your home office design<\/a>. So, diplomas, certificates, and similar items are great to stay in the background. Maps and art also fit the scene, as well as tastefully organized bookshelves. A plant will clean some air, while boosting Feng-Shui vibes with tranquility. Devils’ Eve, Dracaena, even a cactus can make a lovely addition to your workspace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’ts: Family Photos, Sports Memorabilia, Overly Busy Prints<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Avoid cluttering the scene with unnecessary d\u00e9cor. Photo frames with private family moments, perfume bottles, many small souvenirs and details, might be charming in your personal life, but still are not such a good idea in a home office. Also, excess stuff creates chaos where you need it the least. Think of a purpose and remove anything that doesn’t have one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s not unusual to have to work from your kitchen or bedroom. What you don’t want to show is too much of your domestic life. So, once you’ve got the environment right, examine the entire background. Aim to have an uncluttered area with a lot of character but little or no intimacy. It’s not only suitable for a Zoom video conference – it’s also going to help you to focus and prioritize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Home Office Backgrounds Wrapped in Wallpaper<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can use any existing spot covered in wallpaper, as long as it’s not too whimsical or outdated. If your walls are painted, check for the possibility of customizing one area as an official home office background with a carefully curated piece of wallpaper. Another solution could be wall decals, either as branded iconography or a designed texture. Vinyl backdrops are very affordable, and you can get them in almost any design you want, including your brand logo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Real or Faux Brick Home Office Backgrounds<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A barren brick wall can be a great home office video background, in the right setting. The industrial-style interior with brick walls communicates productivity and sends a message accordingly. Plus, fitting furniture is mostly inexpensive and easy to set up. If your wall is plain white and you wish your background to be more dynamic, try stick-and-peel white, texturized bricks, and arrange them in an interesting pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Accent Wall Home Office Video Backgrounds<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you are not ready to fully commit, refresh wall decor with peel-and-stick wall tiles or install a decorative panel. Built-ins are fantastic; however, even a small intervention might transform a dull home office video background into a fresh and exciting one. Choose a color, texture, and style carefully to pump up your conference backdrop with a graceful yet professional appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, speaking of colors\u2014white is a common choice, but what about something more prominent? Don’t be afraid to add a pop of color to your home office design<\/a>, especially in the form of an accent wall. Consider applying some color psychology to boost your mood and productivity throughout the work day. Here are some shades to keep in mind for their added effects:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
