Office decoration, while not an essential part of a modern business, can help improve the morale and productivity of employees. However, it is important to have the right artwork for your work environment. Muse artists can help you choose art that represents your business goals and brand image.

TIP: Identify the purpose of any artwork in your office before you purchase it. The purpose can be a reminder of your company’s vision or core values or to simply make sure that it isn’t offensive to clients or visitors.

10 Signs You Have Muse Artists in Your Office:

1. You have a single piece of artwork in each room, at most two pieces per room.

2. The art is either abstract or very “busy.” It is likely to be colorful and have many intricate shapes and patterns.

3. There are no images of people, animals, landscapes or anything that might be considered realistic art.

4. The art is displayed in simple black picture frames on white walls (or white walls).

5. The office’s colors are primarily black and white, but also include some reds, blues and/or oranges (but not green).

6. There are no plants in the offices or lobby areas because they distract from the art on the walls

Is this something that should concern me?

Art. The word alone is often enough to put business people on edge, conjuring up images of unstructured meetings, long-winded conversations, and impromptu brainstorming sessions.

But companies of all sizes can benefit from incorporating some art into their environments. Research shows that office art helps inspire creativity and even productivity. However, it can be challenging to integrate art into the everyday business environment without overdoing it or going overboard.

Treat your muse artist well and they’ll make your office a more welcoming place to work and play. Follow these tips to keep your muse artist happy:
