6. Paint the Room, if Necessary
Many people need to create an office at home from an extra bedroom or an unused basement space. And light instead of dark. The good news is that Walmart sells paint cans for only $ 20 to $ 30 per gallon, so it's affordable on almost every budget. Cream and white allow you to use accent colors in your decor. But if you like using colors, try using light pastels.
Remember that colors fade over time, so keep that in mind when you select a color scheme. This is perfect for a bedroom because it has a calming effect. But as an office, it did the opposite of what my brain needed. I need to be able to feel awake, rather than a lull. So now, my office is painted beige, and I like it. Fair warning - if you've never painted a wall before, first make sure you watch some online tutorials.
