In today’s modern and diversified work-force, many employees have the option to work from anywhere, including their own home. Granted, you still need much of the same paraphernalia — a laptop, desk, bookshelf, notepad, pens and a comfy chair are all essential. But there are a few other tactics you can use to spruce up your space, making your personal workspace, well, work for you.
Keep It Consistent
However you decide to design your office, make sure to keep it consistent across all furnishings and layouts. Do you have a ceramic tile flooring that accentuates the room in a nice, porcelain shine? Get a cushy chair to contrast the gleaming look. Do you have soft-colored walls such as eggshell or lavender? Then purchase a desk and other furnishings with lighter hues so they nicely complement one another. You can even decorate your wall with a few canvases. The possibilities are endless when laying out your workspace; just make sure that your setup remains consistent across the room and speaks to the aesthetic you’re going for.
Sunny Shine
We know you’ll probably need a lamp to illuminate your desk during those late-night grinds, but in most cases, natural lighting is the healthiest for you. Align your office to make best use of your windows. That way the sun can shine brightly or you can pop one open for some fresh air. You’ll get a fresh dose of vitamin D that will help energize your brain, make you feel great and increase your work productivity. You can also install some translucent drapes to dim the sunshine to your liking if it’s just a tad too bright.
Grassy Guests
While it’s not entirely necessary, a nice way to add some natural pizzazz to your work station is to personalize it with your own plant pals! A few flowers or pops of greenery by your desk, on your bookshelf or by your window will add personality, not to mention a natural vibrant color. You’ll want to keep your plants healthy by watering them every now and again, but aside from that, they make the perfect complement to your bright and sunny workroom. Speaking of which, break’s over. It’s time to get back to work.
