12 Festive Christmas Decorations To Have In Your Office
Decorating for Christmas is always fun but at work, you probably can’t decorate as much as you probably could at home. However, this list of festive Christmas decorations can help you to know which decorations would be appropriate for the office. Of course, make sure to have the ‘ok’ from your boss before you decorate.
1. Lights
A great festive Christmas decoration would be to have lights around the office. It would certainly brighten up the area and make it look more festive. Of course, you can also put these lights in your cubicle to make your own workspace prettier. Place a strand of lights on your desk or even hang them above your door.
2. Tree
Not a gigantic tree, but a small one for your office. Get one that already came pre-decorated and just plug it in. Or, you can bring in a tree and then put decorations on it during your break or free time. It’ll be a nice reminder of the holiday season. If you can’t have the tree in the main office, place it on your desk on display for all to see.
3. Stocking
Get stockings and hang them around your desk. If you want to get creative, get a stocking for each of your co-workers and place a candy cane in it. Then, you can go around the office and put a stocking on each co-worker’s desk. It’ll be a nice gift for them and your co-worker can keep the stocking to use it as their own decoration in their cubicle. It’s the gift that keeps on giving!
4. Cling Stickers
These festive Christmas decorations are perfect for placing on mirrors or windows in the office. You can place these decorations anywhere on a clean, glass surface and they stay there for as long as you want. When the season is over, peel the stickers back off and place them back in the package to reuse them next year. Yes, they are reusable! Then, just clean off the residue from the cling stickers off the mirrors and windows by using Windex.
5. Mirror Markers
While this isn’t a festive Christmas decoration, it can certainly be a decoration on any mirror in the office area. As a substitute to the cling stickers, these markers are similar to dry-erase markers so they won’t stain or ruin the mirrors. Write festive messages for your co-workers related to the holiday season. You can even draw cute pictures in the corners of the mirrors.
6. Scents
Wax melters and candles are considered decorations for they give an ambiance to the season. Choose scents that reflect the season and have them burn in the office. A nice scent will flood the office and the smells of the holiday season will float on in. It will always smell like Christmas in your office and your co-workers may linger in your office because of how good it smells in your cubicle.
7. Wreath
Of course, you don’t need to get a huge wreath to put in your office the holiday season. A small one will do just fine. Hang the wreath above your desk if you have a cubicle or if you have an office, you can hang it on your door. Use command hooks so you don’t damage the walls and can easily take it off when the season is over.
8. Garland
Take garland and line the walls and your cubicle with this festive Christmas decoration. Place garland around the door to decorate the outside as guests come in. You can also use the garland to drape over cabinets and drawers. Place lights inside the garland to light it up. Some garland comes with lights already inside and all you’ll have to do is plug it in. At your desk, wrap the garland around the legs of your desk and line the top of your desk with it. With the garland around the legs as support, it will stay place on top of the desk without it falling.
9. Tinsel
To personalize your workspace more, wrap tinsel around items in your cubicle. Place it on top of your computer monitor to decorate it a bit. Wrap tinsel around small items to get a festive atmosphere around your desk. There are many different colors of tinsel to choose from and you can use many different colors to give your office a colorful yet festive look. If you can’t get tinsel, this festive Christmas decorative might be more your style.
10. Wrapping Paper
Yes, wrapping paper can be used besides wrapping presents. Cover those bland walls in your cubicle with wrapping paper! This isn’t the decoration to cover the walls in the office but you can in your own little space. Tap it up and, once the holidays have passed, tear the wrapping paper down. Also, its the kind of decoration you can have fun putting up as well as taking down!
11. Ornaments
Hang ornaments from the ceiling of your office! Get various sizes of ornaments, ranging from big and small, to decorate the ceiling. For some offices, you can lift part of the ceiling up to place the string in as a place holder. If not, use command hooks to hang the ornaments from. Make sure the ornaments are high enough so your co-workers and yourself don’t bump into them. You don’t want to take them down too early because they’re a nuisance so make sure they’re nice and high.
12. Stickers
On the drawers of the cabinets, place stickers on them to decorate them. Space them out along the drawers and don’t cover them in stickers! You can even put the stickers on small items like your stapler or tape dispenser. You can take the stickers off after the season but make sure to go slowly. If you take it off too quickly, you could tear the sticker and have more of an issue to get it off.
