7 Simple Ways to Liven Up a Quiet, Dreary Office You dont have to work in  a state of the art building with  a private gym, lunch chef and massage room to enjoy coming to the office. You just need a space that feels nice to be in; something comfortable, clean and inspiring. Whether youre the manager of a team or a member of one, if you feel like your office space is flat, boring and dreary, and in serious need of some sprucing up, its likely that workers attitudes are following suit. To get some morale back in the office,  why not try adding these things to it? Theyre all cheap and super easy what are you waiting for? 1. Coffee The smell of coffee is amazing! Why not get a pod machine, or set up a little station in the corner of the office, so employees  can make themselves a little pick me up? It might also start some light-hearted competition, too Just scored the last coffee pod for the office coffee machine.. muuueeaaahahaha Michael Manning (@mmanningau) July 30, 2012 2. Plants If your office is full of  boring desk space, dirty coffee mugs and computer screens, no wonder things feel a little bit dull in there!

Swap the blank, white jotter pads and boring blue point pens for some funky, fun and colourful stationery! It might be the pop of colour needed to inspire amazing some work. https://www.instagram.com/p/BOOeFXFj6Lg/?tagged=stationery 5.  Artwork Often when it comes to livening up a workspace, the writings on the walls Are yours bare? Or worse, littered with unevenly-hung corporate printouts from the eighties? If so, its time to invest in some colourful, inspirational and motivational pieces to brighten things up a bit. You dont have to fork out millions for designer pieces, just get creative with posters, pictures, world maps  or  fun finds from a  second-hand store. https://www.instagram.com/p/BNGKCPlAx3S/?tagged=worldmapart 6.  Personalisation, personalisation, personalisation! When you walk into an office, you want to feel like the people who work there are reflected in the atmosphere and aesthetics. Artwork is one thing, but  adding photographs of staff members or posters defining workplace values will help bring some comfortability  to the space, and remind workers of why they love working where they are!

Music We cannot forget how important music is for moods. Music doesnt need to be played all the time, but it can act as a mood booster and get people motivated / feeling happy! On a Friday, switch the deafening silence (apart from keyboard tapping) for some fresh tunes that put a smile on employees faces and a groove in their shoulders?
