Tips for Putting Together a Home Office

April 19, 2018 by iccfloors Leave a Comment

 

Whether you use the space to run a business, occasionally telecommute or simply plan your family’s budget and pay bills your home office should be more than a desk and chair. Your home office should be functional, efficient and comfortable. Aspire to create a space that inspires and encourage productivity. It doesn’t matter if you’re working with a small or large space you can implement stylish solutions so that you can design an office space that’s an extension of you and your home. 

Here are some tips for putting together the perfect home office. 

1. Function Over Form

Remember that function is key. Therefore, you’ll want to design with your workflow in mind. Before you invest in furniture think about what items you will need at your fingertips. Your storage, shelves and desk are supposed to serve you by enabling you to complete tasks, this is another factor you have to remember before purchasing furnishings. In addition, you’ll want your office furniture to be an extension of your home not resemble some cold cubicle. Be sure to keep in line with the theme of your home. If your house reflects more traditional design style, then you should opt for wood desk and comfy seats. If your office has the space, you can even add a love seat. Artwork and other accessories can add warmth to this space.

2. Your Favorite Color

Consider painting the walls or making an accent wall of your favorite color. Bright colors can live up your home office and inspire lots of creativity. Calming hues like mint green or sea blue are refreshing and can create a serene tone for days when business gets busy. 

3. Invest in a Quality Chair

Since you’ll likely be spending hours planted in a chair you invest in a chair that is going to be super comfortable. Select a chair that is padded with armrests.

4. View

Position your desk and chair so that you can look out the window and enjoy the view. If your office has no windows you can hang up a beautiful piece of artwork for something nice to look at.
