Step 1
Paint the office in a warm, neutral color. Large offices can feel cold when they have towering white walls surrounding you when you work.
-
Step 2
Determine how the large office is going to be used and divide the furnishings accordingly to help decorate it. Establish a work area to do day-to-day tasks. Place a desk, file cabinet and essential work supplies in that area.
-
Step 3
Outline the secondary functional area of the office. Consider these tasteful additions to office to decorate it: a couch and love seat for visitors, a round conference table and matching chairs, a series of bookcases for a library and a large project table for ongoing assignments.
-
Step 4
Distribute task and overhead lighting. A few coordinating table lamps and floor lamps will do the trick. Use a large mirror to reflect the light from a window or opposite a floor lamp.
-
Step 5
Position a large, multicolored rug that will complement the wall color and anchor the space. Use it in conjunction with the desk area or to define the secondary work area.
-
Step 6
Hang pictures at eye level or a bit higher if there are high ceilings. This will draw the eye up and visually disperse the décor throughout the room.
-
Step 7
Decorate with window treatments to finish the room. A calm print would be a nice touch to decorate the office, since the room is so large.
