Discover Shironda's Tips on The Ultimate Cube: Personalize for Style and Comfort

Posted February 5, 2018

Do the cramped space and drab walls of your office cube have you longing for a corner office? While you can't reshape your workspace, a few inexpensive tweaks, decorations and upgrades can transform your cube into a comfort-minded hideaway with plenty of personality.

You can start with a sit-to-stand desk that lets you work on and off your feet for some variety. You can also equip your office chair with a good backrest and footrest to stay comfortable from clock-in to clock-out. Consider adding a desk organizer or two to help clear up your workspace for maximum productivity, and consider getting a small artificial plant to add a touch of natural tranquility to your desk. Try to choose a good desk lamp to complement your overhead lighting.

Next, you can deck out your plain cube walls with framed photos and prints that inspire you, and can add some canvas art to infuse your space with style and color.

Consider using an adjustable desk for conveniently switching between standing and sitting, or place a compact standing desk in your workspace alongside your standard desk for easy access. You can also free up valuable space and reduce clutter with a standing desk that features integrated shelving.
