Office art that'll transform your workspace

Whether you work at-home or commute in, it’s important to bring the vibes to the office. They say positivity breeds creativity and it’s not hard to see why. Office art has the power to transform an ordinary space into an aesthetic and inspiring spot 

Alongside being pretty sweet to look at, office art can improve creativity, motivation and relaxation, making your work day more enjoyable, and even more productive. In a study, results showed that participants who worked in an art-filled office were 15% more productive and had fewer complaints than those working in a boring, corporate cubicle. It’s proven that being in a space that you feel relaxed in is a surefire way to maximise that flow state. So whichever medium; graphic design, painting or more, art has a way of communicating emotions, ideas and cultures that can positively impact a work environment

It all comes down to the specific artwork that you choose. One of the most important aspects of incorporating office art into organisations is to select designs that align with the values and culture of the company. For example, an advertising agency might decide on artworks that are bold, creative and visually stimulating, while a law firm may prefer pieces that are traditional and muted. When deciding, it is important to take into consideration the style of the office, the tone of the company and the target audience

Placement

Another thing to consider is the placement of the art. It is vital to make sure that the pieces are positioned in areas where employees can see and interact with it on a daily basis. This could include the lobby, conference rooms, break rooms, hallways or even individual workstations. Of course, not forgetting one crucial piece of the puzzle, it is essential to make sure that the lighting highlights the pieces, making them easy to see and appreciate. Art can also be used to create a sense of unity within an office. A well-curated collection of pieces can help create a common visual language and a cohesive brand design throughout the space. This will make the employees feel more in sync with the brand and help to develop a sense of pride

Office Art Prints

When it comes to purchasing art for office walls, there are a couple of options available. Original pieces can be commissioned or purchased from galleries. However, original works can be expensive and might not fit within the company budget. That’s why we believe prints are an ideal option as they can be purchased at a more affordable cost while still bringing interest and creativity to an office space. The wide range available on DROOL means there is something to suit every space. They also have the added benefit of being easily refreshed, with new artworks swapped in and out hassle-free

WFH Vibes

Working from home has its pros and cons, one of the pros being you can personally design your environment to exactly suit your needs. Yes, your ‘office’ environment might be your sofa. But don’t let that stop you from curating a room that inspires, rather than dulls, your creativity. We think that to stay motivated and uplifted it’s important to surround yourself with things that make you happy. Taking a break and zoning out to your fave piece of artwork might even have added benefits. Research suggests that being able to choose your own artwork close to your desk can improve productivity by up to 30%. Check out our selection of art to suit your mood here to help you create the perfect vibe. Aesthetically speaking, we think it would also be cool to match your office accessories to your artwork. Just imagine that yellow pen holder picking up the yellow from the art print and making your desk decor pop
