Blue: relaxing
Green: gives vision and relieves stress
Light purple: relaxing
Orange: enthusiasm and emotion.

Decorating makes you more organized: although it seems that your place is saturated, decorating makes you “more responsible” for your workplace, so you avoid accumulating things on your desk. That is, you seek to preserve more the image of your workplace because you know that it is a reflection of yourself.
You are more empathetic: your decoration can not miss something that evokes your family, such as a photo, a drawing of your children or a figurine that brings back memories. This provokes in you a stimulus that makes you more empathetic and, therefore, a better co-worker.
So do not stop decorating your workplace, you will feel much better at every moment of the day.
