Do you have plans to decorate your home office? Are you wondering how to go about the whole process? This document will help you while you are brainstorming.
Many people often ignore the benefits of having a stylish and well-designed home office. In fact, do you know that having a poorly designed home office is not good for business? A well-designed home office delivers a balance between the rigidity of work and the comforts of your home. This is according to HuffPost.
However, for a person to achieve or strike a balance, it requires effort to make garden offices as productive and efficient as possible. By doing this you can get a space that you will be able to focus and tackle your work and projects.
As you are brainstorming, consider these seven decorating tips: –
- Accent Walls and colour
Forget following the traditional office colour: that plain cream wall colour that reminds you of an actual office vibe. Remember, you are at home, and it is your home office; as such, the wall design and colour can be what you want and love.
It does not matter if you love bright colours like orange or yellow: or prefer calming shades like seafoam blue or botanical green; go for wall design and colour you love and make you feel comfortable. However, before jumping directly on to it, it is wise to experiment with how specific colours can affect your mood. The goal here is to find the perfect shade that will help you boost creativity, focus, and stimulate the spirit of working hard.
- A Desk with Bold Colour
Of course, a home office would not be complete without a desk. It is the backbone of an office. Although a typical office desk comes in black and white colours, you may choose to add character by going for bold colour such as green, blue, and even red.
- Decorative Curtains
Although natural light is essential in a garden office, there are times when the weather and time will not allow for that. For example, when it is too hot, having a curtain can make a huge difference. Also, if you are working late in the night, having a curtain is essential. Let’s not forget, they add colour to a room also.
- Artwork
Taking advantage of the artwork is a great way to improve a room. It also helps personalise a room by giving it some character and warmth. The benefit of hanging artwork is; they can be hanged at eye level or higher. If you prefer hanging them at eye level, it is important to note that it will change when you sit.
Therefore, if you wish to have your artwork at eye level while sitting, consider placing them 6 to 9 inches above the table. Consider placing candles or table lamps inform of you while seated to all a visual layer.
- Open Shelves Organiser
It is always wise to keep things within reach. To achieve this, consider investing on an open shelf to organise and store all your office supplies, files, and items. As the name suggests, these shelves come with one added benefit; it allows their users to get everything they need in front of them.
- Consider homey Accessories
Go the extra mile to include homey accessories. Doing this will help enhance the garden office by making it comfy. This can be anything from a pretty mug, supplies, and others. Remember, do not forget to display them on the shelves as well. You may also prefer to add some throw pillows or bean bags at the corner. When it comes to this point, the possibilities are endless.
- Lighting Fixtures
All rooms must have a focal point, even workspaces. Remember, a well-lit room plays a role in maintaining a person’s mood and well-being. As such, it is wise to consider lighting while decorating your garden office.
In fact, it would be wise to have a well lit room, especially if you are working with a computer. In this instance, you can prefer to go with decorative light lamps.
