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.

Fair warning - if you've never painted a wall before, first make sure you watch some online tutorials.
