Depends on where you work.<p>Where I am we have stunning giant metal photo prints covering most walls (and floors and ceilings), mostly-private offices (metal mesh walls with doors that close, and often with giant photos covering the mesh to make it more private).<p>Everyone who sees it seems to think it looks a helluva lot cooler than a generic open floor plan.<p>Every employee also gets a modest decorating budget for their offices, so the insides of them look pretty cool too.  More importantly, it sends a signal that we respect people&#x27;s need for quiet and private personal space to get work done.  We have shared spaces as well for those who want to be more social, but we don&#x27;t force it.<p>Seems to be working well for us.
