Six tips for a successful home office design

Your office should be a place where you enjoy spending time and a successful design will help to boost productivity and motivation. Here are six tips for a successful home office design and balancing style and functionality:

Select the right colour palette: blue and green tones are a great option to portray a sense of calm and focus.

Take advantage of natural light: this has been shown to improve mood and productivity. The use of sheer curtains can help to prevent any glare to your computer screen but will still allow the light to filter in.

Choose the right desk and it’s position: determine the size of your space and ensure the desk you select has enough space to accomodate all your equipment. If the space allows, avoid putting the desk facing the wall as this can be uninspiring. The best placement has the desk away from the wall and facing the doorway.

Opt for a comfortable and supportive chair: arguably the most important item when choosing your office furniture. Luckily for us, there are now quite a few options that are ergonomic and can look good.

Keep your space clutter free: ensure you have adequate storage and use accessories on your desk to keep everything organised and tidy.

Add the finishing touches: artwork, lighting and plants will all help to create a more ‘homely’ feel and make the space personal to you.
