What’s better than an office with great amenities? An office with great amenities that you built yourself. Putting a DIY spin on home decor for the office makes the room feel that much more empowering and motivational. You built the fixtures, so there’s no limit to what you can make happen in here!

These office decor ideas come by way of the great people at Architectural Designs — and the best part is, these versatile DIY home decor ideas can be used in other rooms beyond the office.
