Wall Art ideas for your home office

If you’re often working from home and lucky enough to have your own space (beyond the kitchen table), then you’ll want to make it an inspiring, pleasant place to spend the 9 to 5. Whether it’ll act as a backdrop to your video calls or a collage for you to enjoy in breaks between tasks, wall art allows you to mix professional motivations with personal memories.

Here, we share some ideas on images, quotes and canvases you can combine to create your home office wall art.

Bring nature inside

If your home office doesn’t have a window or beautiful views across the countryside, you may feel like nature couldn’t be further from your workspace. Yet, studies have shown that working in and with nature can help protect against mental burnout.

Bringing stunning landscapes or photos of wildlife into your home office could help you stay focused and reduce stress. Particularly if the image contains lots of green and blue, which are shades thought to enhance productivity and promote calmness.

It’s also important for our eye health to look into the distance away from our screens every few minutes. Putting a photo of a forest or beach above your desk is a great way to give your eyesight a break. 

To make your photo look stylish and luminescent, turn it into an Aluminium Photo Print. Durable with a smooth matte finish, it will add a natural brightness to your photos. Perfect for showcasing your best landscape and nature photography.

Add motivation and meaning

When you’re lost in day-to-day tasks, it can be difficult to keep your bigger life goals and ambitions front of mind. By combining treasured photos with meaningful words or motivational quotes in a chosen font, you can create an inspiration collage that motivates your work and gives your wall art real meaning.

Include images that reflect important aspects of your life. This could be your family, pets or a personal achievement (such as a race you completed or an accolade you received). Mix in photos that reflect your aspirations such as a place you want to visit, item you want to buy or goal you want to reach. Add in text and colour to enhance your motivation board.

Printing these images onto canvas will make them permanent and easy to arrange on your wall. Choose different dimensions for each photo to add interest and variety or split the same image across multiple canvases to create striking multi-panel wall art.

Put your pictures pride of place

Your best photos deserve to be shown off and putting them on decorative shelves is a great way to present them creatively. From rustic shelves to hanging and floating shelves, install yours above your desk to display aluminium prints alongside stylish accessories, plants and books.

If your home office is on the smaller side, add your decorative shelves on the wall behind you for an aesthetic background on your video calls. For a unique addition to your home office wall décor, use your shelves to display your latest photo book (or two!). Just within reach, you can flick through them when you’re having a tricky day or looking for inspiration. Shelving units double as practical storage as well as a display case. Stack up books, store files and put your desk calendar alongside your photos to create a productive-yet-motivational display.

Feel like you’re OOO

If you’re motivated by planning and paying for the next holiday, then keep that motivation front and centre by displaying photos of your previous adventures. Often a mixture of landscapes, portraits and full of colour, they’ll instantly transport you to warmer, brighter climes.

For a quirky, scrapbook feel, get all your memories printed in little formats and arrange them on a pinboard in front or behind your desk. Combine this with maps of previous and future destinations and mementos of your trips (such as travel tickets or small souvenirs) to create an inspirational, creative wall feature.

Create a photo collage

If you can’t settle on a single theme for your photos, then just pull them together with a consistent format. Get your favourite photos printed on premium quality paper, have them framed in complimentary colours and textures then turn them into a gallery wall.

For an alternative artistic look, you could select your photos and print them as hexagonal photo tiles. Cluster them in a formation you prefer and fix them to the wall to create an eye-catching piece of art. Their unique shape and easy-to-move fixings means they’ll fit on any wall space. Plus, you can change the formation or swap out images whenever you fancy a refresh.

Have fun decorating!

If you want to spruce up your home office space, then turning your photos into unique wall art is a great option. Simply create your product online, upload your images, add your special touches (such as text or extra graphics) and choose the format you prefer to print them in. Then all you need to do is arrange them on your office wall to brighten your space and lift your productivity.
