When it comes to decorating your home, it’s all about creating a comfortable living environment that emanates your personal style. The same ethos holds true for at-home office spaces, especially if you’re creating an area for yourself that you won’t be sharing with your partner. Whether you work from home full time or simply want a proper nook for keeping your life in order (and maybe doing a little online shopping, no judgement), follow our ideas to create a productive office in your abode.
How To Make A Chic Home Office
Use Natural Light
Choose a room with ample natural light for an uplifting work space. Situating yourself near a window also creates the illusion of a larger room so you don't feel as confined.
Get Organized
Instead of filing cabinets opt for baskets and boxes to store papers and supplies. Selecting options in a range of similar hues helps to make the space feel less corporate and more cozy.
Get Inspired
Hang artwork around your workspace to keep you constantly inspired.
Move Away From The Wall
Position your chair outward to face the room. This opens the space and prevents you from feeling like you're staring at a wall all day. You can also easily pull up a chair if you need to have a meeting in your office.
Add Some Life
Plants breathe life into your space (literally), so a few strategically placed pots on your desk or shelves are well worth the minimal effort it will take to keep them alive. Opt for succulents in unique textures and colors for a fresh take on in-home landscaping.
