Cube Chic is the perfect antidote to dull, lifeless office spaces. Packed with personality, humor, and bold design ideas, this stylish guide proves that creativity doesn’t have to stop at the cubicle wall. Whether you’re dreaming of a tropical getaway or a sci-fi escape, this book shows you how to turn your workspace into something uniquely you.

With over 90 vibrant, full-color photographs, Cube Chic is both visually inspiring and incredibly fun to flip through. The themed designs, from the Golf Cube and Nap Cube to the Pub, Garden, Hip-Hop, and Zen Cubes, are imaginative, practical, and refreshingly irreverent. Each concept is paired with helpful decorating tips that make it easy to recreate the look without breaking office rules (or your budget).

This was a cute lil book! I don't see myself using the full ideas in this book for my own cubicle- they are all very extra. But I will definitely take bits and pieces of inspiration!

I had this on my "to read" list for a long time. I don't know why I wanted to read it, since upon reflection I realized I have never worked in a cube. While the ideas are cute/clever, I wonder outside of say, the IT field, how many employers would be game to let you do this in your work spaces. I would guess "not many."
