Do you need to fill a space on your office walls with something eye-catching? If you do, perhaps some sophisticated decor will make the difference. Discover the best decor and office space wares to put the finishing touches to your office.

Wall art and decor are not only ideal accessories for a house, a living space or for home decor. These decorative items can brighten an office space and make the perfect statement. Whether you want to accentuate a modern or traditional look, you can choose the perfect piece to tie in the designs and styles of your office space.

But selecting and using wall art and decor can be difficult. The selection of great wall art and decorative items may overwhelm you when choosing the perfect items – the options seem endless. Unsure how to add decor and wall art to your office space? Read on to find the best ways to use these decorative items when decorating your office space.

What is the Difference Between Wall Decor and Wall Art?

While the purpose of wall decor is to embellish your space, wall art has a more profound meaning. Wall decor makes a space decorative, while wall art, such as wall prints, wall hangings, framed prints or canvas prints, can express and evoke a deeper emotion when someone enters your office space and looks at it.

What Kind of Wall Art is Most Popular?

Out of the vast collection of wall art available, such as art prints, abstract art or colourful prints, there are many popular options. If you’re considering hanging wall art in your office space or decorating your room with them, here are the options that create the best effect:

  • Canvas prints – from coast to nature scenes to portraits, the subjects in canvas prints give an office space character and can look vibrant and beautiful. Whether your office space has a modern or traditional feel, its look can capture the attention of your visitors when you select floating frame prints with engineered wood frames or split canvas prints.
  • Paintings – whether you choose a landscape style or an abstract art option, paintings are popular options that suit a range of office space styles. If you shop for paintings that match your office space decor, palette and colour scheme, you can create a complementary and harmonious look for the space.
  • Modern art photographs – by selecting modern art photographs or digital art photography to hang in your office space, you can evoke a modern style and a sense of contemporary beauty.

How Can I Make My Walls Look Interesting?

Other methods you can use to make your walls look interesting include filling your space with sophisticated office space items. Some of the best office wall items you may consider include clocksphoto frames and mirrors.

Mirrors for Office Spaces

If you don’t want to commit to a statement piece of artwork or install wall hangings in your office, mirrors for office spaces are an excellent option. Mirrors are not only for the bedroom or your hallway; they can add a sophisticated look to your office.

There are a couple of sizes and shapes to choose from when hanging a mirror in your office. You may select an oval mirror or a round mirror, such as the STACEY Black Aluminium Mirror, to move away from the standard square-shaped mirror. You may consider a more eclectic look and select several smaller mirrors to fill your office space, or choose one large mirror to brighten the space and make it look bigger and more inviting.

Photo Frames for Office Spaces

With photo frames for your office walls, you can give your wall prints or art prints the final touch and make them stand out. Finding the perfect photo frame can attract attention, and the best place to find them is in a quality homeware and home decor store.

Which photo frame is ideal for your office space? There are plenty of options. Something like the Floral Glass Photo Frame will complement a nature-inspired office theme; its shimmery surface and botanical garden design will reflect the light and create a warm look for your office. 

You may consider a simple photo frame that still offers the sophistication you’re looking for for your office. The CLARA White/Rose Gold Glass Photo Frame will give you the right balance of simplicity and chic appeal. It works if you aim for an Art Deco style for your office and want to display paintings proudly.

Clocks for Office Spaces

Clocks may be practical, but they can also make a statement about the style of the room. The choice that awaits you is wide – simple designs, larger sizes, sleek colours such as black or silver and various materials such as metal or wood can all make a different impact.

Aiming to create a modern look for your office space? The EMILIA Wall Clock is a top office and homeware option that can accentuate a modern look. Its minimalist style, silver hands, and wooden dial will complement your modern office space and enhance its contemporary look.

How Do You Arrange 4 Pieces of Art on the Wall?

A few simple steps can make styling your office space with four art pieces easier. Here are a few tips and steps to arrange four paintings on the wall of your office space.

1. Consider the Shape

Some of the most attractive designs that include four pieces of wall art are arranged as if they were a single piece. So, which shape should you consider when arranging wall art? Consider arranging and hanging them as one square, with each piece of art forming the corners of the square. This approach will create balance in your office space.

2. Think About the Height of the Art

Part of placing your pieces includes thinking about the level of the art or how high up the wall they should sit. Too low, and the art may not make the impact it was designed for. Too high, and your guests may have to stretch their necks to view the pieces. To get the correct balance, always ensure the centre point of the art hangs at eye level.

3. Think About the Spacing

Spacing the artwork in a square shape is important because it can create the illusion of a single, unified display. So, before you hang the art, take a moment to consider the spacing between them.

To keep things symmetrical, maintain an even space between the art and ensure the pieces are not more than six inches apart. The ideal spacing is approximately three inches.

4. Consider the Placement with the Furniture

Whether you’re hanging the four art pieces behind a table or a large chair, considering the placement of the work with the furniture is important. Paying attention to proportion is the easiest way to create balance in the office, avoid too much empty space, and ensure that all items make the impact they should.

A Different Kind of Story - One Six Eight London

We often share our latest collections, styling tips, and exciting product updates. But today, we’re turning the spotlight inward. You might know our name, but perhaps not the people or the passion behind it. This blog invites you behind the scenes — into our world of One Six Eight London — to discover who we are, what we stand for, and how our journey began.

A Small Team with a Big Heart

At our core, ONE SIX EIGHT LONDON is a tight-knit team — small, but seamlessly in sync. Our co-founders, a husband-and-wife duo, manage the day-to-day operations with a unique blend of financial acumen and impeccable design sense.

Around them, a dedicated group of experts bring their own sparkle to the business — from web design and analytics to SEO and product development. Add a golden retriever for cuddles and morale, and you've got a workplace as joyful as it is productive.

Where It All Began

Like many meaningful ventures, our story started with a moment of reflection. A career that no longer brought joy sparked a desire for something more fulfilling — a new direction, a stable future for a growing family.

The result? A humble beginning in the back bedroom of a townhouse, where beautiful homewares were curated for online sale.

Of course, building a brand is rarely simple. It’s a journey of trial and triumph, of trade shows, research, and the search for the perfect creative spark.  The turning point came through a spark of inspiration - an encounter with a established clock designer from London.   Moved by the elegance of traditional craftsmanship, the founders took a leap of faith - and just like that, clocks became our calling. ONE SIX EIGHT LONDON was born.

One Six Eight London - Why the Name?

We’re often asked: why “ONE SIX EIGHT LONDON”? The answer is simple yet meaningful.

One Six Eight represents the total number of hours in a week — a nod to our beginnings as a clock brand and a gentle reminder that time is precious.

And while we’re proudly Australian, our design roots trace back to London, where our designer is based. Despite the distance and time zones, we work in harmony — a family, united by creativity and purpose.

Growing with Grace

From clocks, we expanded into jewellery boxes — a natural progression for a team that lives and breathes style. Each product was designed with the same thoughtful care and curated into collections that reflect our signature ONE SIX EIGHT fingerprint — a harmonious blend of style, function, and accessible luxury.

As the product range grew, so did the business. The once-cramped bedroom gave way to a bustling warehouse. We remember the day we collected the keys — “We’ll never fill this space,” we said.

We were wrong. Soon the shelves were stacked, a forklift was acquired, the dog bed found a new corner, and a fully-fledged company space came to life.

From there, we embraced new categories — photo frames, mirrors, candlesticks — each crafted to reflect our brand’s timeless elegance.

And then came ceramics — a dream two years in the making. Determined to create the best vases on the market, we partnered with artisan makers whose craftsmanship aligned with our vision. The result? A collection beloved by our customers and proudly displayed in homes across Australia.
