Why Not… Renovate your Home Office?

Why Not… Renovate your Home Office?

This month marks one year of working from home for a lot of people in America, which means you’re probably spending a lot of time within the four walls of your home office. After being in the same space every day, it’s more than likely time for a good home-office revamp! 

Having a home office space that is organized, well-lit, and inviting is essential to spark your creativity and motivate you throughout the work day. Even if your home office is in a small room or maybe a shared space with your spouse or in the corner of your spare bedroom - there is always room for improvement to make the space feel more like your own. 

Since you are probably spending a lot of time at your desk these days it is so important that your desk is the right size, has plenty of storage, and the placement is key! If you have a window in your office, you should consider moving your desk under it. This will give you the option of having nice natural lighting, a view of the outdoors, and you can open the window to get some fresh air and a breeze when the weather is nice. Next, you’ll want to make sure that you have a comfortable chair that gives you plenty of support - this is probably something that you want to splurge on. Your desk and chair are going to take up the most space and therefore are likely to be the main focal point when you or guests walk into your home office. 

Some easy ways that you can really make your home office a bright and motivational space for yourself, is making sure that you have decor that isn’t distracting or cluttering your work area. I’d recommend adding things that make the space feel warm and inviting such as family photos, small trinkets, and neutral colors. To make your office feel more lively and bright, try adding things like hanging plants or small potted plants to your bookshelves and window sills. A fresh coat of paint and a new area rug are also simple ways to improve your room and can easily be made to fit any renovation budget you are working with.
