It is safe to say working from home has never been more accessible. With advances in cloud technology and video-conferencing, it is no wonder people are choosing to stay in the comfort of their own homes. People are now reaping the benefits of home offices by saving thousands on travel, car maintenance, professional clothing, office lunches, and above all, that one coffee too many. EZ Living Furniture is sharing some top tips on how to create the perfect home office. After all, home is where the heart (and free coffee ) is!
Know your needs
Whether you are a graphic designer, a journalist, or even an accountant, make a list of everything you need in order to get by. For example, if you are a graphic designer you might need two tables — one for your computer, and another for your artwork. Be honest with yourself and your needs. There is nothing worse than ending up on the floor trying to accommodate space.
Sufficient space
Speaking of space, in order to work effectively, you will need to allocate a dedicated area to your workspace. Whether this is a room or a decluttered corner, it is important to have as much separation from your living space as possible in order to be productive.
Let there be light
The more natural light your home office has, the more productive you are. Natural light in the workplace leads to reduced eye strain, less drowsiness, improved mood, and fewer mistakes.
Personalise to perfection
Adding your personal touch to your home office can create a warm and productive environment. Why not add a nice decorative ornament or a plant? A plant will not only look good, it will also remove toxins from your workspace, add a sense of life, and increase humidity.
Dress up, not down
You are what you wear. In order to be the most productive you can be, you need to dress the part. If you work in your pyjamas or dressing gown, your work will most likely reflect your sleepy attire. Dress as if you are going to be meeting people, and watch your work transform.
