4 Creative Ways To Build The Best Home Office

Working from home? A concept that was not so common has become the more preferred option today. Designating a workspace and specific zone in your house is ideal for creating a productive and practical work environment. It allows you to create the perfect balance between work and personal life, keeping it separate from your living spaces.

A home office and study space has become an important part of a property purchase for buyers. But not everyone has the luxury of extra space, or an extra room, especially in apartments. Instead, it could be part of your living room, next to your kitchen or in the corner of your bedroom. Just get creative! We share with you some of the top tips to reimagine your workspace.

01. Accessorise Away

Accessorising is always fun when it comes to decorating your home. You can make working from home fun and create a space that sparks joy! Trendy lampshades will not only offer a modern look to your workspace but produce the perfect amount of light required if you are not near a window. These can be small desk lamps next to your computer or a floor lamp next to your table. A classic clock or quirky shaped clock is also a great option which can be placed on your desk or against the wall. Adding prism planters across your desk or hanging plants provides a fresh touch of greenery to your home office. You can use fun planters that come in different shapes and sizes if you are feeling playful.

02. Colour 

A key part of any space is colour as it influences the mood of the room. To make your workspace that much more fun, you can have a cool colour scheme going on. This does not have to be a big job like painting your walls. It could involve small elements such as choosing a pen holder, lamp or notebook in the same shades or complementary colours. If you want to make a slightly bolder choice, you can choose a bright colour for your office chair or an eye-catching shade for your desk.

03. Make it Personal

Make your office personal, after all this is where you will spend a great amount of your time. You can add items that speak to your personality. Whether it is a family photo, favourite quote, or canvas print, they all add great character to your workspace. These can easily be added onto a pin up board on the wall. If you are a book worm, consider adding some of your favourite books to up the ante on personal style.

04. Storage and Comfort

Organisation and comfort are key. When it comes down to storage, there are a million options to choose from. Colourful collapsible cubes, binder folders, small cabinets and draws are a great storage solution and really help declutter your home office. To maximise comfort, make sure you choose a comfortable chair, especially if the nature of your work requires you to sit for long periods in front of the computer. Ergonomic chairs are the go-to with a desk that is suitable for your height.
