Executive office decorating ideas should aim to reflect the personality of the executive and at the same time retain tasteful elegance.Executive office decorating ideas should also take change and modernization into consideration. Modern office furniture involves a combination of wood, chrome and glass in contemporary designs. Desks are usually made of light colored wood combined with glass. Bookcases, shelves etc are usually made using glass and chrome. Sometimes wood is also used but not the traditional dark colored mahogany or cherry. Seating is usually done in leather, though not the traditional black or brown colored ones. It could be something white or blue or a rare shade of brown. This decor is reflective of a modern executive who is open to new ideas and change.
