Art: It's not just to cover those holes in your walls anymore.

By Dave and Carol Womble

Framed motivational art does something few other office decorations can: It inspires workers to draw together toward a common goal: an improved business environment and a heightened sense of teamwork.

An important trend in office decorating today includes the use of motivational posters. Motivational art doesn't just inspire; it encourages employees to forge cohesive bonds with coworkers and work toward the greater overall success of the company

Use motivational posters to keep workers focused, encouraged and on task. Maybe you want to foster teamwork ... how about an inspirational poster depicting a team of rowers or skydivers? That will work wonders to reinforce the message that each member of your team has a valued role to play in the organization.

But it's not just employers who are decorating with motivational posters. More and more, these framed mini pep talks are showing up in classrooms, recreation facilities and fitness centers ... because everyone needs motivation.

Teachers use motivational posters to get their students excited about learning - and achieving ... even excelling! Kids need to know their efforts will pay off - and visual reminders are a great way to reinforce the concept of perseverance.

In the sports world, too coaches and trainers find that motivational posters help keep their athletes on target - both school-age and adult athletes. Owners of fitness centers put up motivational posters to encourage members to stretch beyond their limits to reach their greatest potential. Professional athletes can also benefit from the occasional inspirational message.

In the corporate world, use motivational posters to acknowledge achievement. Present a key employee with an inspirational poster that reflects his or her accomplishment - better still, choose a theme or image that bears special significance to the recipient.

A framed piece of motivational artwork is an outstanding way to encourage someone you care about who's going through a rough patch ... maybe feeling downhearted about the loss of a job ... an illness or injury ... even the death of a family member. An inspirational and uplifting poster can do wonders to lift the spirits of someone you love.

Perhaps it's someone in your family - even within your home - who's having a difficult time. Hearten a spouse or child who's struggling with a motivational poster that speaks to the soul and brightens the spirit. Maybe you need a bit of encouragement yourself. What better gift to yourself than the gift of inspiration? Select your preferred image, quotation or theme and brighten up your own corner of the world.

Or maybe you just like the classic look of motivational artwork. Their timeless beauty makes them ideal additions to your home or office. Liven up a bare wall with a favorite piece of artwork and notice how often your face brightens into a smile when you see it.
