Let's be honest. A cubicle might not be your idea of an inspiring work environment, but there are decorating ideas to make it a more visually appealing space. And since your workspace can have an impact on creativity and productivity, it's worth ensuring that it looks its best and serves a reflection of your design aesthetic.

"If you factor in the hours you're awake, most people spend more time at their offices than they do in their home," says interior designer Danielle Rollins. "Decorating a cubicle can make your day more zen. Personalizing it is just like designing for your home to create a home-away-from-home feel. Whatever your look is, whether it's the traditional floral chintz lover or the modern solid color-preferring minimalist, your work space should reflect your personality." Designer Suzanne Ascher agrees. "Designing your cubical should be a conscious and concise undertaking, as your space is limited," she says. "Think about the colors and objects that inspire you and help you maintain a clear mind for productive thought."
