Whether you are back in the office or your home office, subtle changes and improvements to your workplace can make a big difference. These changes often improve the style of your office and boost productivity. To help you get started, we have put together a few ways to spruce up your home office!
Paint the Room
If your workplace is dull or bare, add some color to it! Painting your home office space is a great way to make your area feel more “homie” and give you the extra encouragement to get your work done. Consider adding an accent wall or statement wall to add an extra spark to your office.
While painting can be very relaxing, it can also be very tedious and challenging work. If you are not an experienced painter, we recommend looking into companies specializing in interior house painting.
New Furniture
Arguably the best purchase you can make for your home office space is furniture, specifically ergonomic furniture. Ergonomic furniture is built with one goal in mind; comfort. These types of chairs are great additions to any office and will protect you from any long-term posture issues that may arise from sitting in an uncomfortable chair all day. Beyond the Office Door (BTOD) is a very reputable ergonomic chair brand, and we recommend checking them out.
Stimulating Art
Including visual forms of motivation and inspiration is a great way to help you stay on track throughout the workday and spruce up your office. These visuals can range from a poster to a hanging sculpture and are meant to increase your creativity and relax you during a stressful day.
Add a Houseplant
As crazy as it may sound, studies have proven that plants have a positive effect on productivity. Both a snake plant and a ZZ plant are common choices for home office workers because these two types of plants look great, clean the air, and are extremely low maintenance.
Work in Color
Much like painting the room, adding objects with color can be a great way to make your office space trendier and more desirable. Adding colorful filing cabinets or even a unique, bright lamp could make quite a difference!
Consider a Floor Rug
Adding a floor rug can be very visually appealing and works well for sound absorption. Much like painting and adding visuals to your walls, adding a rug makes your office space more comfortable.
Increase Natural Light
Natural light is known for making spaces feel bigger. This light also can make you feel alive and ready to concur the day ahead. If there is a window in your office, make sure to keep it open and let the sunshine in. If you are not as lucky and do not have a window in your office space, consider buying a natural light projector that can imitate the sun.
