Today, many people have moved to work in their homes. Some work at home all day, while others work only for a few hours in the evening. But many employees still complain that it's harder to concentrate on work at home: the couch is tempting to sit on, or the bed makes you lie down for a few minutes. But working from home can be very productive if you pay enough attention to your workplace and create the right atmosphere.
Here's how to organize a home office correctly so that you don't lose concentration, but at the same time don't lose the feeling of comfort in your home.
Choosing the best place for your home office
If your home doesn't have a separate room that you use as an office, you can set up a mini-office in your bedroom or living room. You need to think carefully about where in your home you'll have the best working conditions.
When designing a living room with an office, it is necessary to take into account that the availability of good natural light for work is one of the main conditions. Therefore, the work area is usually located next to the window. To minimize the separation from the rest of the room, use a decorative partition or shelving. An open shelf will not visually clutter up the interior. At the same time, you can place books, folders with working documents, decor and the stationery you need on it.
In the bedroom, the window sill can become your workplace. In this version, it will serve as a table. The window sill can be equipped with original legs-shelves, where you will put office supplies.
In order to save usable space and visual space, you can abandon the full-fledged desk in favor of a hanging console.
A portable home office is also a great and versatile option. It can be placed in any of the rooms or taken out to the veranda or balcony. The minimum set of furniture for the workplace: a small table and a comfortable chair. A small table will perform the practical function of a desk, a laptop table or a cabinet for a table lamp.
Organize your workspace
Your desktop can be anything you want: solid solid wood or minimalist suspended, standard office or vintage. The main thing is that the work surface suits you. For the comfort of your back, the height of the desk should match your height.
In order not to clutter up the workplace, you can hide work papers, stationery and even charging "stations" for gadgets in the drawers.
Documents and useful little things can be incorporated into the interior by placing them on open shelves in folders, decorative boxes, baskets, and even glass jars.
A convenient solution is wall holders, organizers, cork and magnetic boards, which can be used to place important notes, a calendar, photos, motivational posters or postcards above the workplace.
Don't forget to think about lighting. Provide a place for a desk lamp, the best solution for the workplace is an LED daylight bulb. If the room suffers from a lack of natural light, you should give preference to neutral wall colors or sand and sunny shades.
Creating a creative decor for inspiration
At home, you can afford a workplace that cannot be organized in an office. The best solution will be shades, materials and decor that evoke associations with nature.
Your home office can be refreshed with live plants, macramé, wicker baskets, natural wood, and cork.
An office in your home has every right to look like a home. That's why its design fully allows for any accessories to your liking.
The most important thing is to create an atmosphere that will inspire you to be productive and give you pleasure from working at home.
