Ok so you might have to spend most of your waking hours in there and you might want to add a few personal touches to remind you of life outside but there are limits. We’re not suggesting you stick purely to the corporate trophies dished out following completions but firm policies (explicit or otherwise) are likely to catch you out if you go to far (and your room buddy might have something to say if you share); from Litination :

In law school, [Susan McCutchen] was the only student who redecorated and re-painted her apartment based on the time of year. So when McCutchen walked into her new office at Holland & Knight, she had to take a moment to let the disappointment subside.

Already bored with her first assignment later that day, she had to stop to determine just what she could do to spruce up the white walls and beige carpet. Four hours later … she covered most of the carpet with throw rugs … put cushions on her window sill … and hung matching valences over the windows … and finally, she installed lamps in every corner of the room.

We think you get the picture, and if you’re wondering whether management got it, well …
