Since the pandemic the home office has become a regular request when searching for or remodelling homes. Many people continue to work 20-40% from home and will do permanently so it is worth investing to create a positive space to allow you to stay focused and productive without compromising on style.  

1. Take care of your posture

The most important factor is looking after your back and neck. Having a comfortable chair is important to keep your posture aligned I have a desk similar to this in my office and often use it at the standing option. As a rule when sitting or standing at your desk your elbows should be at a 90 degree angle and the middle of your computer screen should be at eye level.  With a static desk It is important to have a chair that is height adjustable.  If you require set your laptop on a riser or coffee table books to get the correct height. 

 

2. Good Organisation

If your storage needs are high, consider neutralising the storage boxes and files to keep things looking uncluttered.  By keeping everything white/beige it creates a relaxing space and everything is easy to find. 

3. Space Saving

In an open plan space with careful planning  you can create a free standing section to create a mini ‘room within a room’ concpet – the addition of glass panels helps reduce noise. 

4. Design Classics – where to invest

Choosing iconic classic pieces allows you to buy pieces that will never date and are worth the extra investment. They can also blend in well eg here the mid century look can be placed in a historic or modern home.

5. Easy and Simple

Whatever your plan and investment figure is the main thing is to feel motivated and creative in the space so you can complete your work efficiently,  even the simplest of shelving and desk can create a happy working space.
