To me, my T's view is the one thing I love about his office. He's on the 10th floor and has a spectacular view of downtown. You said you had a view. Can you take advantage of that without compromising the privacy of your clients?
Also, my T has LOTS of books which I love. I find a new title everytime I go in there.
I second the no no on flourescent lights. Overhead lighting is not our friend!
I also find seating important. Sometimes we have to use another office down the hall where our chairs are about 6 feet apart. I really dislike this. In his regular office, we have t chairs separated by a small glass round table, as if we're in Paris discussing Louis Malle or something. It is nice and intimate. If we were any closer we would be too close however. But 6 feet a part is too far for me.
Also, I like a few nick nacks on the table separating us that I can pick up and hold while we're talking. I have NO idea why I do this, but I think he puts them there for a reason.
O, and try not to be too girly in the decoration. This may put off some male clients (as well as female ones like me :)
