How to Transform Your Boring Office Cubicle into a Cozy Haven for Under $50
This week, in our new home video series The Home Primp, we set out to update and organize a grey, lacklustre cubicle at Chatelaine headquarters in Toronto.
The challenge: This office was in need of a serious overhaul — there was no real desk organization system, the walls were uninspiring and the space didn't feel very comfortable. I mean, just look at it...
How we primped it: We brought in homey elements that we already owned, keeping the cost of this space low. We added an inspo board and a quickie gallery wall, and upgraded simple stationery items like thumb tacks and a pencil holder with a can of gold spray paint. Back to work!
How much we spent: $49
Products we used:
Succulent wrapping paper
Krylon premium metallic gold spray paint

Minted Rice wall art print by Bryn Namavari
