Festive office decor: 3 ideas to decorate your home office for Christmas

Hello Team Goodenough! Is it just me who gets excited about decorating for Christmas sometime in October? Or are you like my partner who would rather if all things festive were confined to December? In any case, I’ve rounded up three ideas to make your home office a festive and inspiring space for Christmas and beyond!

Festive idea #1: have an end-of-year clear-out

Yeah, I know, I know, not the funnest of all tips! But before I move onto adding pretty elements to your home office, we do need to start here.

And by we… I mean me. I really need to tidy up my office space! I’ve got an inbox full of papers related to my PhD that I no longer need. I have a box of crackers I don’t eat. And there’s a big cardboard box on my desk that I’ve been hanging onto because it has a friend’s address on it… Which I should just add to a spreadsheet of friends’ addresses on Google Sheets, rather than keeping boxes and envelopes with their addresses on…

Anyhoo, enough about my clutter: what does your home office look like? Could it do with a 30-minute tidy-up? A YouTuber I follow has a monthly “life admin day”. I have yet to implement the idea myself, but that would be a great time to get all those niggling tasks out of the way, so that you can start fresh.

This might also be a good time to do a bit of a digital clean up: unsubscribing from email lists and podcasts that don’t serve you or bring you joy. I wrote a whole blog post about doing a digital detox, you can find it here! If your physical clutter is a real issue though, you might be interested in the KonMari method: I read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying* a while back and it really helped me to tame the madness regarding my clothes… I clearly need to revisit her principles in my office though!

Festive idea #2: add Christmassy touches

Right, hopefully your office is now tidy-ish, so let’s move on to the pretty festive touches! I’ve rounded up a selection of festive decorations you could add to your home office, even if you’re on a budget. If you’re like me and you have quite a small office space: be creative! Can you put decorations on a windowsill or a bookcase? Can you hang baubles on the wall or from a corkboard?

Festive office decor: 3 ideas to decorate your home office for Christmas
  1. Personalised Christmas sign: I’m sure this was created with believing in Father Christmas in mind, but you can use it as a reminder to believe in yourself!
  2. Wreath with lights*
  3. Eucalyptus brass hoop*
  4. Velvet Christmas stocking*: at the time of writing these are sold out, but hopefully there’s some more on the way soon.
  5. Chase your dreams bauble*
  6. Gold star curtain: this would certainly make for a festive backdrop to your Zoom calls!
  7. Personalised Christmas banner*
  8. Mini artificial potted tree
  9. Snowflake goal tracker: this printable tracker was made by yours truly, I couldn’t resist adding it to this list. It would pair well with the “chase your dreams” bauble, both pinned above your desk!
  10. Personalised stripe stocking*
  11. Gold pinecones: you could also DIY this by spray painting pinecones that you found on a walk.
  12. Bauble card holder: wouldn’t this be lovely to hold post-its?

Festive idea #3: choose things that sparkle and bring joy

Above, I shared some decorations that are explicitly Christmassy. But another approach is to furnish your office with beautiful objects that are functional and can be used year-round.

Now I’m not encouraging you to throw out everything you own and replace it today! But for example if you’re in the market for something new, you could consider one of the items below, which will give your office a festive sparkle, but also won’t look out of place the rest of the year.

Festive office decor: 3 ideas to decorate your home office for Christmas
  1. Concrete and gold candle*
  2. Blush notebook*
  3. Gold and glass pen pot
  4. Snake plant in gold pot*: I’ve definitely got my eye on this!
  5. Pink velvet chair
  6. Agate coaster*
  7. New York candle
  8. Gold candle lantern*
  9. Copper letter basket*: this is the previously-mentioned overflowing inbox. At least it’s pretty!
  10. Rose gold laptop*

That’s all from me today. Remember: you’re already good enough, show up for your goals and have a joyful day!

I've been experimenting with smoothies for a while I've been experimenting with smoothies for a while and I've finally found the magic formula... 👇

So here it is:
🫘 Half a can of butter beans, drained and rinsed (trust me you can't taste them, but they're oh so good for you)
🫐 Half a cup of frozen berries (doesn't matter what type, but choose organic if you can)
🍌 A ripe banana
🥬 A good handful of leafy greens (spinach, etc.)
🥄 A tablespoon of ground flaxseed
(🥜 Optional: a tablespoon of peanut butter - if you want it creamier or are trying to get more calories in)
🫗 A cup of water (about 250 mL) - feel free to experiment with this last one until you get the consistency you like

I came up with this because I couldn't find a protein powder that I liked and that didn't make the texture go all wrong... 🤢

Also because I believe whole foods are the way to go! 🌱 ... Well about 80% of the time. 😉

I make mine two at a time in my @nutribullet as it comes with two cups - that way tomorrow's breakfast is covered! 💡

If you've read this far, make sure you follow me for more quick plant-based breakfast ideas (coming tomorrow)! And have a lovely day. 😘

Just my 2 cents after 7 years of doing this. 🌱✨😘 Resources 👇

✅ You can find the Daily Dozen app both on Android and iPhone - it's a super easy way of ensuring you're eating nutritious foods, without counting calories or any other faffy way of tracking food (it's all evidence-based, by the team behind @nutrition_facts_org). 📲

✅ The @plantbasedmorningshow is the perfect balance of common-sense vegan living advice and nonsense banter to remind you to not take it all too seriously! 😅

✅ My blog jessicagoodenough.com is the place to go if you're wanting to:

How's beating yourself up been working for you? 🤔 Here's an alternative. 👇

Focus on what you already have and who you already are. Because:
1️⃣ It simply feels better than focusing on our shortcomings or how "we're not there yet".
2️⃣ It will help you attract more good things. Just like people who complain all the time keep attracting "bad luck", people who focus on gratitude find more opportunities.
3️⃣ Your glowing gratitude will attract people to you that will help you move towards your best life.

I know I have a tendency to always focus on the next goal and the next and the next... But sometimes you need to slow down (and smell the roses 🌹) to speed up. ✨
