How To Dress Up Your Cubicle, The Extreme Way

So, I'm here to discuss about cubicle decorations. Your sad, tiny cubicle... There's actually plenty of ways to make it a more personal space. To some extent, this is not your regular spice up your cubicle post. So don't expect yourself to do this, unless you're really bold enough to do so.

1) A Rug, Carpet, whatever you call it
Get yourself a rug to fit into your cubicle. This will create a distinctive SPACE between your cubicle and the rest of the office. And in some way, you can tell someone, you're invading my privacy while pointing on the carpet.

2) Wallpapers
Not the wallpaper on your desktop, although it's preferable that you change it as soon as you got into your office. I'm talking about the wallpaper you glue to your wall. There's no rules in any office which says you cant glue a wallpaper, especially in your cubicle. So get a theme going on and glue it up. Soon you'll feel more at home.

3) Tablecloths
What more can I say, a table cloth which wraps your daunting and boring cubicle desk. Turns it into a classy/modern furniture to some extent, and give is a more humane touch. This way, you can rub your fingers on your desk or rest your face on it for a quick nap.

5) Pictures
You may think I'm talking about those tiny little papers copied pictures and pasted onto your cubicle wall, NO! I'm talking about nice full framed oil paste picture hanging on your cubicle wall. Preferably something like this. So you can stare at it whenever you are bored.

6) Mirrors!
Guys, it's not what you think! Yes I'm telling you to have a vanity mirror in your cubicle, but precisely, I want you to angle those mirrors to look where you cant look when your boss is looking. Aha! a mirror with 3 purpose, to make your cubicle look good, for you to keep yourself looking good, and to keep an eye on people who you don't want them to see what you are doing.

7) Flowers, Lamps, Pots, Beach Umbrella
Ok, for the first 3, it's manageable, but the Beach Umbrella, well, nobody said you cant have it there, And if you have air conditioning blowing right at you, or the sun is getting the best of you all the time, it doesn't hurt to have a beach umbrella over your cubicle. Tell your boss, you're love your job so much it feels like vacation every time you leave your house.

8) Cupboards
Those of you who have a rather large cubicle, don't waste those space, put in some cupboards, and then come porcelains, chinas, books, something to remind you of home. Better yet, have a complete set of espresso machine or tee pot with matching cup. Then you and your colleagues can have a great time all day long in your cubicle.

9) Camera, Lights, ACTION!
For those who is quite familiar with your computer, that is if you know how to hide screen or set up your own cctv unit to keep an eye of people who's coming your way. Well this is your chance to prove yourself to be the eyes of your office! Have some small spy cameras set up at the corners of your cubicle, walkie-talkies or instant massagers on your computer, and When you see your boss coming, page everyone to behave.

10) Vending Machine
Those of you who's lucky enough to have your cubicle near a pantry, get the permission from your boss, strike up a good deal and put a vending machine there. Every time you hear the sound of coin dropping into the machine, you'll just feel happier that your colleague just paid you some of their salaries.

Examples of people who did it.
