Desk Decoration

Artificial plants are supposed to make an office cubicle feel warmer and more inviting.

The problem is that not all faux greenery helps. In some cases, it does the exact opposite.

Before you fill your workspace with artificial succulents, vines, and mini trees, take a look at these mistakes that make faux greenery stand out for the wrong reasons.

These office cubicles will show you how good intentions can quickly turn into plastic overload, and what to avoid if you want your workspace to look polished and actually enjoyable to spend time in.

The office cubicles below will show you what happens when lighting choices miss the mark.

Before you buy a new lamp, take a look at these examples and see which common mistakes are easy to make.
