6 Easy Ways to Spruce up Your Work-From-Home Office
If you have transitioned to an at-home work experience but struggle to maintain your motivation, spruce up your home office with our 6 tips!
By Edvin BrobeckIDEA ONE
Try a New Paint Color
You’ll wake right up and feel more energized if you walk into a brightly colored work-from-home office space. Paint the walls a new color to transform any room.
A cool blue or bright yellow shade fills your home office with positive vibes that encourage you to chase your goals when you sit down to work.
IDEA TWO
Grow Indoor Plants
You don’t need a green thumb to grow indoor plants in your workspace. Find a few smaller plants that require little sunlight or watering. They’ll thrive while you work-from-home office and benefit your mental health by filling your life with positive growth.
Depending on which plants you pick, they could also filter your air quality and make you feel physically better too.
IDEA THREE
Find Sustainable Furniture
Give back to the environment through your home office by finding sustainable furniture. Treat yourself to a new desk, chair or office accessories that don’t have massive carbon footprints.
Sustainable furniture pieces include a variety of materials like chemical-free paint and reclaimed wood. You’ll invest in long-lasting office decor that won’t pollute the environment if you need to recycle or throw it away later on.
TIP FOUR
Add A New Rug
Rugs add texture and warmth to any room. They’re perfect for making your office more welcoming and comfortable. You’ll spend most of your day in that space, so research different rug styles to find one that matches your interior design preferences.
Your current decor may match a traditional print or more contemporary colors.
IDEA FIVE
Get A Standing Desk
No one enjoys sitting all day long. A standing desk allows you to stand up and move your legs without walking away from your work. You could feel an immediate difference in your health by not sitting for hours at a time. Recent study participants reported a 32% improvement in lower back pain just by using a standing desk.
Find one that uses eco-friendly materials like reclaimed wood or bamboo so your furniture matches your lifestyle. You’ll improve your life just by standing for a few minutes more every day.
IDEA SIX
Move Things Around
Sometimes rearranging your furniture improves the flow of energy in your home office. Shuffle things around so you can work while looking out of a window or have more open wall space.
It will feel like you’re working in a brand new place and encourage more positivity during the day.
