10 Decor Ideas To Give Your Basic Cubicle Actual Personality
It's just like that Blink 182 song — work sucks, I know. But your cubicle doesn't have to.
Decorating your cubicle is tough when you don't have a ton of creative control. It's not like you can paint or swap out the furniture, and a generic working space can make your day seem even more monotonous than it already is. But there are solutions, and they won't even cost you a ton of money. Take inspiration from these insanely cute cubicles, or try some of these desk DIYs to help your space feel a little less basic. Work still sucks, but your desk will be total goals.
