So this thread got me thinking this is the issue with my home office. Its boring and depressing. Is there site's out there that showcase office color schemes or bright offices that could roll some ideas?

I like @Nathan Douglas green and red combo, but i don't think I would like that green long term. I am terrible with colors and design though.

I also think getting a few more light sources in there would help as well, maybe a lit fish tank?

Houzz.com is a good place to get ideas for anything home design oriented. http://www.houzz.com/photos/home-office

For colors/patterns - use google images, find a "model" home office you like. Then replicate with your own twists...also I'd probably lose the clown posters :)

This link is great. I'm in the process of renovating the 2nd floor of my house, which is where my office is located. I see quite a few things on that page that I'll be considering when I get to work on the office. Thanks Allen.

This used to be my working enviroment. Very cool but even this view became blasé after a period. Now I work in a small home office with a nice garden outside.

Once I get bored of this too I'll change my environment once again.

This was my view when I first moved to Norway, though I've since "upgraded" to a worse view with a 5 minute commute.

Since this has turned into a "Post Your Work Area" thread, I've renamed.

She put you in the basement? :wideyed: ;)

Do you have windows or eye irritation from the light contrast? Use flux and get some behind the monitor lights if so, should help.

Yup! There are windows but not enough. I have f.lux for nighttime, its really all the time though, just not enough light and really dull. Lights behind the monitors isn't a bad idea though, thanks!

Someone else mentioned gold farming, so I'll jump onboard. Back in high school mining herbs with bots on Runescape and selling for a healthy profit (real $$$). Computer on right setup on linux dedicated to farming, one of left was on Windows and 90% setup to farm.

I am sitting at the race track, computer in front of me, daily racing forms spread out across the table, sugar free rock star on empty, and television tuned into the Breeder's Cup. This is my office for today. Separate your TIME from your INCOME.
