There was a time when office requirements meant a seat, a desk, a photocopy machine and a telephone. Those days are long past. Offices of today need to look good, be comfortable and inspire a happy vibe.

Sure enough, Indian offices, like their foreign counterparts are also catching up, and pulling out all the stops to turn a boring office into a creative, fun space. And while contemporary furniture and state of the art accessories are one way, more often than not, the walls are cruelly left out. Not at these offices though. Along with other ways to do up the office, they have turned walls into focal points with beautiful wall murals, paintings and other art. In fact, in a way, how interesting the walls are at an office can define how fun that office really is. After all, the writing’s on the wall.

Here’s a look at 20 examples of stunning wall art at offices in India.
