Your home office should be decorated with care and consideration to cater to the many hours you will spend in this room. Ensure that it is comfortable, offers natural light and organised for a distressed mind. We share our top 5 tips for a mess free home office to increase your productivity.
Organisation
Avoid any clutter or mess in your home office, as it’s easy to get distracted and lose focus. Additionally, studies show that an organised office assists productivity levels. Ensure everything has a place and put it back when you’re done using it, which makes it easier to find once again.
Storage
Add storage solutions that are both practical and visually appealing to create a space that feels inviting and inspires you to work hard. For example, beautiful hand painted shelving with cabinets just off the floor to hide not-so-glamorous office utensils such as a printer.
Lighting
Make lighting a priority in your home office. Working without sufficient light means you’re straining your eyes, makes you hunch closer to the computer and makes the room feel small. Try to maximise natural lighting if you can with big windows, mirrors to reflect the light and even French provincial glass doors to let the natural light come in. Otherwise add artificial lighting in your most used areas such as your desk, next to your chair or couch and even above or in-between your shelves for maximum overhead lighting.
Decoration
Decorate like a Pinterest pro by adding items that inspire you! Have a few books, quotes, artwork, mementos or magazines around your home office and when you need a break or feel uninspired take some time to look around you for a creative boost to continue working.
Maintenance
Spend 5 minutes at the end of your day to put everything into its place and make your work space need. This is the key to long-term maintenance. It’s easy to leave your mess until the next day but you would hate to start the day already feeling overwhelmed with the clutter you left from the previous day. Spend some time to organise your home office, which in turn helps to declutter your mind and deign the wind down for the evening.
