8.14.16 Interior Appearance Policy

The following are Army standards to follow:

• Keep work areas cleared of clutter.  Cleanup, throw away.

• Avoid hanging things in the work area.  Find another way to refer to organization charts, personnel listings, and calendars, other than having them hung on walls or   partitions except framed artwork, diplomas, awards, etc. 

• Notes and references hung on partition walls should be kept below the height of the partitions.  Some things may be mounted on the partitions by hooking into the metal supports between the partitions, but not by hooking into the fabric.

• Anything not contributing to the overall décor of the work area should be put in a drawer or on a shelf behind a closed door.

• Do not overwhelm the work area décor with an excess of plants or personal artifacts.

• Keep walkways into work areas open and free of clutter.  Do not store things on the floor, or on top of shelves, or partitions.

• Office chiefs should consider the overall office appearance and visual contrasts between work areas.

• Be sure that anything done in a work area contributes to color coordination, rather that detracts from it.

• Keep vacant workstations and common areas clean.
