Portable offices are so great precisely because they are portable, cost-effective offices in a hurry, but sometimes they can feel a little sparse when you first get them.

Here are the top 5 improvements you can make to your new or used portbale office to spruce it up.

1) Portable Office Extras. Though you probably had a chance to purchase the necessary accessories for your portable office, you may have forgotten one, or gotten mismatched ones. Painted steps, ramps, railings, and siding can really improve the appearance of your portable office from the outside. If you own your portable office, feel free to take it one step further and actually paint your trailer too! If you rent, check with your contract before making any changes, but keep in mind the transformative power of paint!

2) Music. If you are using your portable office as a sales office, or any sort of office that has frequent guests, consider having soothing, low-volume music on in the background. It can mute construction nosie, and noise from your portable office's HVAC too. Choose instrumental music that will not distract your employees for the best results.

3) Plants. Plants not only add life and warmth to even the most drab of portable office interiors, they improve air quality too! Any plant in the Pothos family will do well in artificial or low light, and they need very little water. They come as bushes and vines, so you should be able to find a nook somewhere in your portable office for one of them. If real plants aren't possible, a tasteful artificial plant or two can accomplish the same thing, as long as you dust the leaves every once in a while!

4) Lamps. One of the first things people notice when they walk into an office is the light. The right lamp can make your portable office feel high-tech, or comfortable, luxurious or down-home, depending on what you want for your business. Standing torch lamps, interesting desk lamps, and in-between table lamps can all be great options for your portable office. See what you can find at home and in stores--a lamp or two can really make a positive difference for your portable office.

5) Special Touches. Rugs, scented candles, and pictures in frames are all nice special touches that can help your portable office to look more permanent and pleasant. Depending on the kind of environment you want to cultivate, consider asking your employees to bring in a favorite picture or two to brighten the walls of your office.

Hopefully these tips have started you on the path to having the best office ever--good luck with your new portable office trailer!
