Either contract a typographer to create your mural, or purchase a poster and stick it up.

This gives the staff the opportunity to decorate as they see fit, often with hilarious results.

At your next staff meeting, why not pitch the idea that everyone bring in a succulent for their desk, and add Water Beads to the glass containers?

Office Decor: Quirky vases and vessels
Leafy indoor plants and succulents are incredibly popular at the moment, as research is showing the huge psychological benefits of housing greenery in your office. Rather than using a classic pot though, try placing mini succulents in conical glass science beakers, egg cups or transparent wall-hanging planters. They’ll look incredibly cute, plus they’re so low maintenance all you need to do is find these little plants a home and they’ll live happily on your desk without water for months. For bigger plants like the trendy Fiddle Leaf that thrives indoors, try hanging a few from the wall in ceramic pots, suspended by leather cords. These options not only look great, increase the oxygen in your office and add a splash of colour; they also take up very little space on your desk, windowsill or floor.
