This post is about 4 tips for putting together an attractive home office. If you work from home, you know just how important it is to stay motivated and focused.
However, Remote.co states 82 percent of telecommuters report reduced levels of stress. One of the biggest issues for many individuals in this situation may involve staying disciplined.
It can be too easy to get distracted as the day moves along and one of the best ways to avoid doing so is to have an attractive office.
Simply having a laptop and sitting on your couch doesn’t qualify as an efficient workspace. Here are some tips for putting together an office that makes you want to be more productive.
4 Tips for Putting Together an Attractive Home Office
Creating a comfy and attractive home office doesn’t have to break the bank! You can find all sorts of things from online stores, to second-hand stores! It is fun to find things for your home office! I really enjoyed decorating mine on a budget!
Tip #1: Create a Professional Look
One thing you will want to do is to ensure your home office has a professional feel to it. To do this you may need to upgrade the furnishings and using existing office furniture is ideal.
Take the time to shop around and find items that speak to your personal aesthetic. I updated my home office/living room with a gorgeous area carpet from Eyely.
I absolutely love it! It is not only the perfect touch to bring the whole look ‘together’ but the area rug is so soft too! Talk about comfy!
Buying a desk to work from can help you remain more productive throughout the day and is much better for your back when you have an executive chair behind it.
It’s likely you’ll spend a good deal of your time at your desk and choosing office furniture that offers usability and attractiveness are important.
Tip #2: Proper Lighting
An office MUST have a lamp and proper lighting to get your work done. Nothing is worse than an office with no lights! I love my new lamp from Eyely because it gives that ‘beachy‘ vibe! Anything that makes me think of the beach when I am working, is even better for me!
Tip #3: Use A Portable Workstation
I work on a laptop every day because I am on the move from room to room. I hated that I couldn’t keep my laptop and other things together when I went from room to room to work!
It was so irritating! With the Worky 15-in-1 The Home Office, now it is possible to keep everything in one place AND be organized too! I love this little portable workstation so much!
Worky is a portable workstation that helps keep users organized and declutters living spaces. Worky brings together 15 key elements of a productive desk setup (over $300 worth) such as; power and device charging, storage, dry erase board, built-in video conference light, and more.
It opens to provide a workstation anywhere (kitchen table to desk, porch, coffee table, kid’s room, etc.). When it is closed, Worky keeps work items organized and can be discreetly stored out of sight under a bed, couch, or closet!
The Worky retails for $149.99 BUT is on sale right now for only $119.98! This would make a great gift for that work-at-home person you know!
Tip #4: Add Greenery
Taking time to add a variety of green plants to your home office is a great idea and may help you be more inspired to remain in your office to get work done.
Greenery adds a lot of life to any room and is sure to help you feel better and may even improve the air quality. I love succulents because they are simple to take care of and are so pretty!
Making the most out of your office space could be the key to increasing your income by allowing you to work more efficiently each day.
You will enjoy being in an area that provides all the things needed to get work done and which improves the look of your home.
Ensuring your office is inviting and attractive may be the key to starting and finishing the day with a positive and productive attitude.
