Highlight the Important Parts
The first thing to do is decorate the important areas of the office like your desk, and book shelves. A few decorative bookends will add a lot of character to your office and they are also functional office decorations.
You will find a range of different types of decorative bookends from animals to sports themed bookend styles. So, it's a great place to start. You can start your theme here, or just try and be original.
Going for Style Points
You can sometimes go overboard when trying to earn style points on your office decorations. Matching styles perfectly and trying to fit a specific theme is a little harder than it looks. It takes a lot of time and dedication to go through all those stores and catalogs to find the right bookends or shelf ends.
A better ideas is to go for originality. After all, people enjoy originality more than consistency. Original items are great because you don't need to follow a theme. They lend some creativity to your office decor and make it interesting rather than have it conform to a certain style.
Decorating the Walls

Adding more unique bookends to shelves and cabinets that are against the walls is one good idea. You can also find more interesting historic office decorations from companies like Authentic Models. They make repliac antique maps, scrolls and museum quality art prints. or other posters that can be great for your office.
