How to Transform Your Home Office

Working from home has become a norm for many of us today. While this setup is often chosen for convenience, productivity can be a struggle. Sitting in a drab, cluttered, impractical work-space all day is bound to deplete creativity and motivation. 

With the right home office decor and furniture you can infuse life back into your workspace.

1. Choose the Right Desk

Typically the primary piece of home office furniture and the centrepiece of any office, your desk is crucial.

• Pick one that suits your work needs (compact vs spacious).

• Multifunctional furniture is important when working with limited space.

2. Never Compromise on Comfort 

This is your space, where you will spend a lot of time sitting. Why sacrifice style for comfort when you can have both?

• It’s time to invest in a high-quality, ergonomic chair for proper posture. 

• Our wide range of home office chairs will simultaneously provide comfort and a modern home office space. 

3. Light it Right

Ever had to spend days on end in a dark, enclosed space? Not fun. 

• Natural light is your best friend. If you have a window, place your desk near it.

• Add a desk/floor lamp for light in early mornings or late nights. 

• Good lighting will reduce eye strain.

4. Add Personal Touches

You want your workspace to feel familiar. Aside from your typical home office furniture, add some personal touches of your own. 

• Use artwork, pictures and ornaments.

• Indoor plants can make a world of difference. Real or fake. 

5. Keep it Organised

Maintaining an organised and uncluttered workspace will save time and stress. 

• Use shelves, cabinets or drawer units for storage.

• Floating shelves are ideal for small spaces.

6. Invest in a Statement Piece

Don’t overwhelm your space with too many patterns or colours. Keep your home office decor simple with one statement piece. 

• Add one standout item, like a bold rug or one of our many beautiful home office chairs. 

• A statement piece will provide visual stimulus and take a space from boring to characterful. 

7. Keep Tech in Check

There’s nothing worse than a room full of loose wires. 

• Keep your wires tamed with cable organisers.

• Make use of monitor stands to maintain proper posture. 

• Many office desks come with built in charging ports and cable solutions. 

8. Refresh With Colour

A fresh lick of paint can completely revive a room. 

• Calming neutrals are perfect for the office. They can open up an enclosed space. 

• Incorporate a pop of colour through a feature wall. 

Transforming your home office doesn’t have to be stressful. Minor tweaks can make a big difference. From multifunctional furniture to the perfect paint shade, creating a productive and inspiring space is well within reach.
