This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company. All opinions are 100% mine.

Nationwide provided me with information regarding its blog post.

Whether you are setting up a new office or updating an existing one, there are plenty of ways to do so without spending a small fortune.

How to Decorate Your Office on a Tight Budget by Nationwide offers several good suggestions on ways to save quite a bit of money. I have used many of these same tips when I was creating my own office space out of a spare bedroom.

For example, the first desk I used was a hand-me-down desk that my daughter left behind when she moved out. After it became obvious that I needed a bigger work area, I bought two inexpensive small bookcases and a piece of MDF from the local hardware store and “built” a larger desk. I simply placed the 2′ x 4″ MDF board across the two small bookcases.

Thrift stores are a great place to find inexpensive used furniture. It’s amazing what a little paint and new hardware can do for an old piece of furniture.

Office furniture can be very expensive. It’s possible to save a lot of money and rescue an old piece of furniture from going to a landfill at the same time!

As How to Decorate Your Office on a Tight Budget mentions, DIY wall art is very simple. How about covering some inexpensive art canvases with fabric for some very attractive wall art?

I used fabric covered canvases to create a temporary headboard above, but this idea would also work on office walls.

Plants are an attractive, inexpensive way to bring color, interest, and height to office decor. And don’t worry if you don’t have a green thumb, How to Decorate Your Office on a Tight Budget has a list of easy-to-care-for plants.

How to Decorate Your Office on a Tight Budget provides many smart ideas. Now it’s your turn. Please let me know of any cost-saving office space decorating ideas that you have used.

    It came as a bit of a shock to me that you can update an office so simply and cheaply! Can the decorating of a kitchen or a living-room be as easy as that?

    In many cases, an office is limited in space. Trying to find the best floor plan to make the most of what you have can be very challenging

    I like that you mentioned that there are many places to purchase used office furniture. My wife and I plan to make an upstart corporate business. We will need to look for used office furniture to help us provide furniture for the office.

    Thank you for your article, it was useful to read about the processes and updates you made. Nowadays, making a small upgrade to your rooms or home office can be easier if you’ve set aside a budget for it, as there are plenty of brands willing to help you with it. For me, FAINA by Yakusha has recently been a great discovery – modern Ukrainian design, which I fell in love with at first sight

    I recently came across a review on PissedConsumer about churchill car insurance. I was curious after hearing mixed feedback from friends. After reading several complaints, I realized that many customers were frustrated with the response times and lack of helpfulness. It made me more cautious about considering them for any future insurance needs, as customer service seems to be a recurring issue.
