I would say it could use more than a plant.

I would move your desk so that you are facing the doorway into the room, rather than the window. And move the chairs to face the desk so that their backs are to the doorway.

Now, put the plant in the corner by the window on the open side of the desk.

Can you rearrange the desk so that your back is not to the door and people entering? I know you want to see the view but seems odd to me....The way you have it arranged the only place for a plant is the corner by the two chairs and should be tall and slim. Weeping fig or Deffenbachia?

Auntthelma, we were typing at the same time but I agree with you totally.

No, but seriously that office needs to be touched up. Throw a rug near the entrance, do what Erinsean and auntthelma said, and hang a picture or two. You literally live there eight hours a day.

May I ask who is coming to this office to see you? It isn't very welcoming. Would you spend some money on it?

agree it needs some life, it looks like a prison. the view is great and I can see why you have your desk there, but....its not ideal - you should face the door. I'd turn the desk around so that you are. bring it half way down the wall opposite the door anchor one end of its L on that wall so you have access to the phone and electric there. 2 chairs facing the view and in front of the entry glass. that leaves with a clear walkway to the windows. take advantage of the space you have it will seem larger. put a low credenza under the window for office books, paper and equipment leaving the top open for lots of plants or just a few great ones. bring in more life with a large scale print centered on the long entry wall in what ever colors and design you fancy.
