Picture Perfect
Photographs could be great for cubicle decorations for those who want to keep their memories in front of their eyes. The photographs of your family, spouse and children can make you feel they are always present with you. You can simply pin-up the photographs or keep a nice photo frame. Photographs of your pets, a vacation or something unusual done by you can be a part of your office cubicle.

Idols or Small Mementos
Mementos could give that extra zing to your office cubicle. It could be a small idol of your favorite rock star, a baseball star or a Hollywood celebrity. You can also include a memento you received for your achievements in school, college or work. It could also happen that you have been felicitated by a prominent personality and that memento could very well serve as a motivational tool.

Going Green
In case your cubicle is near the window and exposed to a good amount of sunlight, then you can keep a bonsai plant or may be ferns. If your cubicle does not get enough light, then choose a plant which grows well in low light. These plants can literally give you a 'fresh breath of air' because of their carbon dioxide absorbing and oxygen releasing capacities. In addition to that, plants always help to lift your mood. The green helps you calm down and relax when you feel restless. Chose a plant which will fit the cubicle or the space allotted to it.

Personalized Dates
Go personal with your calendar or planner. You can get yourself a trendy calender to adorn your office furniture. Choose a calender that reflects your personality. Go for a calender with Hollywood celebrities, if you are a Hollywood freak or buy a calender with photographs of different cars, if you are crazy about them.

Quote Unquote
Scribble down some motivational quotes, funny quotes or just print them and put them up on your cubicle. They are a sure-fire way of making your cubicle a better place to work. You can be inspired, or you can get a good laugh when you feel low.

Color Code
Think which is your favorite color and just deck your cubicle with it. This will make it your personal area in the corporate clutter. Your favorite color will surely brighten up your day.

Your office cubicle could be a good combination of your room at home and a motivating and lively office space. It just needs a bit of innovation and the right push to make your office cubicle suit your ideas of a workplace.
