How To Maximize Your Version Of Modern Home Office Design
By now, you’ve probably grown accustomed to the intricacies of remote working. In turn, many workplaces across the world are choosing to make remote or hybrid working a permanent fixture, so it may be the perfect time to upgrade your work from home setup.
It's important you designate a space where your productivity and creativity thrive and you are not distracted by those around you (or the sound of your TV). With that in mind, here are five simple tips for improving your home office design.
1. Declutter Your Workspace
If you are looking to increase productivity levels, you should begin by organizing what will be your office space. This will help you declutter your workspace.
While a few papers here and there may not seem like a major issue, being surrounded by clutter can actually increase feelings of stress and anxiety and stand in the way of your ability to work efficiently.
2. Upgrade Your Desk And Chair
When you are spending a lot of time sitting behind your desk, it is important that you are both comfortable and able to maintain good posture. One way to achieve this goal is to use a height adjustable desk converter so that you can turn your traditional desk into a standing desk. On occasion, or at set intervals.
Once you’ve upgraded your desk, you should also upgrade your chair - especially if you have been settling for a dining room table chair instead of an actual office chair. You need to feel comfortable. So prioritize the appropriate neck, back and lumbar support.
3. Invest In Communication Software
Good workplace communication is the key to a happy workplace - but it is particularly important for remote workers. After all, not only can bad communication impact the quality of work your team puts out, but it could also lead to feelings of isolation.
Combat this by investing in communication and software and needed tools such as a new webcam, microphone or the appropriate video conferencing software.
4. Relocate Your Desk Closer To A Window
Numerous reports suggest that natural lighting is one of the best ways to increase your daily productivity levels. It is a fact that sunlight makes our minds and bodies feel more alert and focused. It also increases our bodies' production of serotonin, meaning you’ll also feel happier when you get behind your desk.
If you are not able to move your desk, consider purchasing a sunlight lamp, which emulates natural light and can offer the same effects as being outdoors or next to a window. These lamps are particularly useful during the winter months when everything is darker, colder and grayer.
5. Accessorize Your Home Office Design With Plants
Home office interior design should fit with the rest of your household while maintaining an attractive appearance. When we are in a space that looks good, we often feel good too.
Did you know that there are numerous benefits to having a plant on your desk? It's true! Plants can relieve stress, improve indoor air quality and can even help you to fight fatigue.
