Ask HN: Would you decorate your software department office space

3 pointsby andrelgomesabout 5 years ago
We are moving to a new office and the software team (only me right now) are getting our own room - closed from the open office where the rest of the team is. I am fine with an enclosed space but we are getting new software team members and interns in the summer and I do not want them coming in a complete white room. Any ideas or inspiration from your office plans? Plants? Artwork? DIY cool lights?<p>Specs: 171 sq ft^2 (enough for 3-4 engineers) the entire office space is 1600 sq feet No windows

TV for dashboards or maybe showing an HD camera feed of a cool direction outside your office, since there aren&#x27;t any windows<p>Fathead wall clings (Star Wars?).<p>Custom wall clings relating to your company and&#x2F;or stack&#x2F;tech.<p>Paint areas on a couple walls with white board paint.<p>A plant or two that can live with just office lights would be a plus.<p>If your company has sales closes big deals have some lights or even a ding when one comes in.<p>LED lights inside crown molding installed a couple inches below the ceiling.<p>A startup here has some cool movie props (back to the future, pixar), star wars helmets, lego sets&#x2F;sculptures, could be a nice addition on some shelves maybe.
