Designing a Home Office You’ll Enjoy Working in

Location, location, location

Choosing the right room to turn into your office is the first and most important decision. There’re a couple of things you need to consider. The size of the room is a priority – you’ll be spending a lot of time there and you don’t want it to feel small and claustrophobic. Also, think about the workflow. If you have a lot of people coming to the office every day – you don’t want the going through your home, just to get to you. In the end, think about windows and the view they provide. Having enough light and a great view is important both for the clients and your own peace of mind.

Colors

This often gets overlooked but color palette can affect your mood and therefore your work in real ways. Paint each wall depending on the function it plays in your workflow. Bright, vibrant colors will stimulate you and help you be more productive – so orange or red can be the color of your “command center”. On the other hand, greens and soothing blues have the opposite effect. Make sure you have a corner dedicated to thinking things through – that one should be blue.

Furniture

When choosing the furniture for your home office, you should have two things in mind and the right order of those is pretty important. “Think about your health first and the design second”, advise reputed Sydney’s suppliers of office chairs. Make sure the chairs are ergonomic and the desks can be adjusted for different height. Also, it’s important to have some furniture in which you can relax – a couple of comfortable lounge chairs for instance. When it comes to color and design, it’s up to you to create a personal aesthetic, just make it somewhat consistent.

Technology

It’s really important to incorporate the gadgets into your office, instead of building the office around your gadgets. Try to have as few cords as possible or at least hide them to the best of your ability. Also, it’s best not to have a tech corner – spread the equipment around and arrange it according to the way you work.  Most of the gadgets these days are quite beautiful by themselves, so you can include them into your design plans. Have in mind that the technology changes pretty quickly and you’ll have to replace them on a regular basis, while the furniture lasts longer.

Personal touches

One of the advantages of working from home is the ability to make the office as personal as you want it. A personal touch is there to make your working hours more enjoyable but it can also make more relatable to your clients. Rewards and recognitions should definitely go on the wall and the rest is up to you. Personal photos, favorite movie poster, souvenirs from the memorable vacation you took – all of these can be added to your working space in a tasteful manner.

The advantages of having a home office will be clear as soon as you set it up. There’s no commute and you’re the one deciding the working hours. Just don’t forget to work hard.
