Need help in my office!
I'm working in a legal office and as you can see from the pictures, it is very drab right now. Unfortunately, I can't do a whole lot to it, other than bring in things and hang things up on the walls. The door is open most of the time, so the coat behind it is rarely visible. I think I am also going to put the full length mirror I brought in behind the door.
On the large blank wall, I would really like to make a gallery wall with all white frames and some art and mix in my diplomas. Unfortunately, I really don't know how to go about choosing art that works well together! Help with this would be great.
I also need to get some nice things to put on the desk (for organization and decor). It would be great if I could have a cool ottoman of some kind too since I am sitting all day and it would be nice to put my feet up sometimes. Please help me all you decor geniuses!

If you want art (other than family photos), some people will pick a theme like botannicals or coastal. Etsy.com has a great search engine and usually the prices are good. You might consider high definition photography because it can be so vibrant and uplifting. I see that in a lot of offices in recent years. For instance, you might choose St Thomas, or Paris, or Venice as a theme. Some people do birds, or flowers, lighthouses. I have a photography shop and have most of those themes already posted but have files of more. It is on Etsy and is nancyhehmann. You can contact any of the shop owners on Etsy and they will customize a size if you need them too. They also have paintings as well.
By the way, Lowes have decorative wall hooks for coats I have noticed; some are attached to wood or you might want to get a hall tree.
For matching desk items, you may have a local office supply store or Staples, Office Depot or Office Max carry them.
If you need frames, Michaels can be a good place to look to get matching ones and they do custom ones too. They almost always have a coupon online that you can print for discounts.
To further make your office special, you could go to a fabric store and buy enough fabric to go over your cork bulletin area. Just fold it under an use thumb tacks to hold it in place. If you wanted, you can hem it or glue the edges under with a hot glue gun.
Have fun!
As for artwork, I am hoping for a more artsy feel than photography. And I'd love some more help with how to make a gallery wall come together?
