Medieval Office Decorations

Grabbing your steaming cup of coffee in your head office to start the day. When you walk through the door you glance around at your walls with framed certificates, articles about your work, photos of friends and family. My office is located in the middle of the room with the computer, pictures of your children, coffee cup yesterday (forget that again!) and a pile of papers waiting for your attention. Off to one side of the room is a small table and some chairs. A few journals waste the top of the coffee table.

Stop and start decorating! Let's remove all the photos and paintings. You can choose what gray and blue, gray, red and burgundy, or as I prefer, you can use the colors of brown and golden brown. Then select a faux painting technique. There are some things that are available for this style, such as tapestries, paintings, wall sconces, sword and dagger shows, shields and axes. Add a fluer-de-lis carpet in complementary colors. On the desktop you can find a dragon letter opener, a medieval-style box of cigars, misc. Articles and other decorative elements that are not in the path of your workspace.

You grab your morning coffee and go in your office. If the door you will be rewarded by warm walls with a tapestry of a medieval castle in England, reflects light from the swords and dragons behind your desk. Your office is gaurded of a dragon with a miniature sword and a further meeting on a cigar box, dare you, your family smiling at you tin frames.
