How to decorate an office with a concrete brick wall painted purple? ?

In my personal office, three walls are pale grey, the carpet is darker grey. The furniture is black and dark grey. My desk top has lighter purple and blue laminate. There is no natural light, just fluorescent bulbs. I manage a service department at a college. Should I put anything on the big, purple wall behind me or just decorate the rest of the office?

Update:

We do not have an art department, but that was a good idea. :-)

Update 2:

I don't mind the purple wall, but I'm not sure if a feature wall should be accessorized. In a pinch, I could ask that it be painted, but the other colour choice would be grey.

    do you dislike the purple wall? are you trying to cover it up, distract from it, or do you just need ideas about how to decorate a room with one purple wall? i don't see any reason why you should not hang something on the wall if you feel like you want to. from your color scheme, maybe a large framed black and white photo or a grouping of smaller ones?

    use darker wall as a back wall, put desk in front of it sice looking at the dark will give idea of smaller space. Use bronzes, yellows and nut color accesories with orange flowers, wild type with pussy willows, use glass pitcher to hold them of crystal, the colors will warm the room from the lighting and cool grey.

    on the grey walls try orange accents like shelves or file cab, mabe not too bright but a warm bronze even would uplift the cool of the grey, thing of exotic places ... hand or place coral on and around.

    good luck!

    sure yet you need to use "stabiliser" on the bricks first, this binds to the brick and might grant a stable undercoat for the masonry paint. stable stabiliser and masonry paint is extremely costly, from what I undergo in suggestions. basically undergo in suggestions that once some years it could start to look grotty and you will could desire to do it back... and back.... that's going to look nice although. I did an analogous element with a conservatory as quickly as.
