Whether you’re wearing pajamas or a pencil skirt, your home office should radiate a stylish charm. It doesn’t take a lot to give your office a creative makeover. In fact, the less clutter the better! Take a cue from Nordic décor, and learn how to do more with less. Focus on displaying pieces that bring you joy, and get rid of anything that does not serve you day-to-day. Marry productivity and modernism with a clean Scandinavian interior. Focus on incorporating natural materials and simple furniture.
Beyond Office Wall Art: Pro Tips
Interior design expert Elimar Lobo Sáenz supports the Scandinavian-inspired office trend:
Moving daily life indoors has sparked a design revolution that shifted the primary focus towards coziness and a harmonious flow. That's why nordic style keeps on rising; light colored wood, pops of color to brighten up the space, combining organic materials, and adding personal touches that represent the homeowner’s interests.”
Yoko Chow, interior designer and owner of Yoko Chow Design LLC emphasizes the importance of wall art in your workspace, and how to navigate décor versus distractions:
“Artwork should be placed in your line of sight to provide a break. It is up to individual taste, but I suggest you keep in mind that the room needs to be designed to improve or maintain work efficiency while limiting unnecessary distractions.”

Colors to Inspire You
Color psychology can be immensely helpful when it comes to determining the ideal color palette for your home office. You want to quiet your mind and allow for your thoughts to flow freely. The stimulating nature of colors like yellow and red can be distracting and prevent you from focusing on day-to-day tasks. Instead, try cool, calming shades.
Blue Wall Art & Green Office Ideas
Blue and green represent serenity and balance. Blue is a calming color that can promote a clear head. Choose a piece of wall art in blue, green, or a cool-colored tone for a stress-free space. Plus, these shades can blend with a variety of color schemes, making them ideal if you’re still in the process of curating your home office.Paint specialists like Sherwin-Williams and Behr have highlighted cool blues and greens as major players for 2024 décor. Refresh your interior and clear your mind with green and blue wall art. Stay level-headed with shades of sage, seafoam, and baby blue. These cool colors are known to spark intellect and fight anxiety, which makes them the ideal hues for a home office.
White & Black Office Ideas
You can’t go wrong with black and white. Keeping on the Scandinavian style trend, a bright white room with pops of black will give your space an effortlessly modern look. Minimalism in both your décor and color palette will allow you to focus on what matters.

Pictures for Office Walls: Sizes
To choose the perfect canvas size, a little math is required. Luckily, you don’t have to take any time off of work to determine the perfect layout. We’ve put together the Ultimate Wall Art Size Guide so you can save your brain power for work.
Here is an excerpt to get you started:
“Your wall art should take about 60% to 75% of the available empty wall space, the portion not covered by moldings or furniture. Measure the height and width of the wall. Now, multiply the measurements by both 0.6 and 0.75. As a result, you will get the range of canvas print sizes to suit the space.
For instance, if your blank wall is 9 feet tall and 5 feet wide, multiply 9 by 0.6 to get the low end of the ideal height range. Then multiply 9 by 0.75 to get the high end of the ideal height range. Do the same for your wall's 5 feet width. The ideal height of the canvas would be 5.4 - 6.75 and the ideal width would be 3 feet - 3.75 feet.”
