Creating The Perfect Working From Home Set-Up

Creating The Perfect Working From Home Set-Up
Choosing to work from the comfort of your home can be fantastic, enhancing your work-life balance and saying goodbye to those morning commutes.
 
If you're into your interiors, one of the best things can be having the freedom to design your own home office however you want!
 
There's lots to think about from colour schemes to how to organise the furniture, so we've listed some essential tips for making your home office set-up a stylish and productive environment.
 
Choose the ideal spot
 
First and foremost, your office space will become the area you spend your working day. With that, be sure to make sure the space is quiet, spacious and comfortable. 
 
Organisation is key
 
Having a workspace that is de-cluttered of mess is scientifically proven to increase productivity, and looks the part! With this in mind one of the first purchases for your office should be a storage system for things like paper and stationary items. Also think about where to put boxes, a printer, books etc. if you need them. It could be worth investing in some shelving, drawers or a storage unit to keep everything in one place. These items can be stylish too, such as floating shelves. 
 
The lightbulb moment
 
While we hope your working environment will help you to be full of bright ideas, brightness in the form of light is really important to have. Productivity levels have bee shown to rise for those who work around plenty of natural light. Having an airy, sizeable room with an abundance of natural light has also been shown to improve your mood, so it's a no-brainer! If this isn't an option, there's lots of ways to mimic light from natural colour schemes to mirrored furniture. 

Go paperless
 
Say goodbye to a messy workspace and go green by ditching print outs. A digital-first approach is also a secure way of keeping your documents safe and this gives you the ability to have these items readily available at your fingertips via your PC, laptop or mobile phone. 
 
Add some inspiration
 
While over-saturated office spaces can provide unwelcome distractions, it's important to add some personalisation. It can spur you on, motivate you and help you produce your best work. Each person is different, but whichever item or office accessory works for you will be a welcome addition. Some ideas are personalise stationary, photographs of loved ones, artwork by your favourite artist or a quirky wall planner.
