MAKE YOUR HOME OFFICE A GLAMOROUS REFLECTION OF WHO YOU ARE

TRENDS IN HOME OFFICE DESIGN

Your home office should be a direct reflection of your personal

style, passions, and aspirations. One of its biggest advantages

compared to a corporate office—where workers are often limited

to customizing a cubicle with quirky calendars and potted plants— MINIMALIST DÉCOR A clean and clearly organised workspace is conducive to great concentration and uninterrupted workflow. Less visual clutter leads to less mental clutter, and you will be able to find your needed files and equipment a whole lot faster too.

One thing is for sure - the need to work at home and to have a

space to enhance productivity is needed. For this, we bring you the

modern office design trends.

RE-INVENTED OFFICE CHAIRS

If there is one piece of furniture key to productivity, it’s having a comfortable

desk chair. While that used to mean buying something with black, plastic

arms on wheels, that’s no longer the case.

Accessorizing chairs is another popular trend. Adding a pillow or cushion can

bring comfort and a pop of colour to any space. “Productivity doesn’t only

come from office equipment, it’s also a result of working in a relaxing and

comfortable space,” says Lauren Meichtry who is the founder of Elsie Home.

“To brighten up an otherwise bland space, throw pillows provide a layer of

thoughtfulness and detail that just might roll into your work product.”

LOTS OF STORAGE

Storage isn’t just important for the sake of decor. Cluttering your space

can clutter your productivity. “You are what surrounds you and if it looks

cluttered around you, it’s probably cluttering up what’s inside you,” says

interior designer LeeAnn Baker of LeeAnn Baker Interiors.

UNIQUE COLOUR SCHEMES

Countless books have been written about how to boost your work productivity.

But all along, you may have just needed a brush and a can of paint.

When it comes to picking up a colour scheme for an office, think about the

type of mood you want ideally to be present, think about what kind of work is going to be done there, and what kind of person will be working there. The

home office can play a wide variety of roles. If one works from home, it is the

9-to-5 place of business; for others, it’s a place to pay the bills, go to mail or

store important documents.

THE MAD MEN AESTHETIC

The TV show Mad Men was set decades ago, but the masculine style

it presented still packs an aesthetic wallop. Think leather and wood

furnishings, books on the wall, boxes of cigars and a stocked bar.

LEAVE NO DETAIL BEHIND

A masculine home office is more than a place to work, it’s a testament to your

personal interests and innate sense of style. That means every detail counts

and should be used to unify the aesthetic. Put every decoration under your

proverbial magnifying glass: the books, the lamps, the plants, the artwork, the

gadgets, the spinning globe, all of it. Make sure it all syncs with the furnishings

your personal style and taste.

MAKE YOUR DESK COUNT

Proper interior design generally relies on focal points to bring a space together,

and in a masculine home office, your desk is the ultimate focal point. That is

to say, your desk is both the focal point from a design perspective and from a

functional perspective as well. Your desk can additionally determine the tone

of the decor and even your general mood at work. Make sure it blends with

its surroundings appropriately, and make sure it gives you enough room to get

the job done in an organised fashion.

distractions and focus on work. We understand the importance that our

mind has in our work so it is up to us to make an effort to sculpt method,

Are you more productive from an office or from your own home? KEEP YOUR DISTRACTIONS HANDY You’re going to need brain-breaks once in a while. Maybe it’s a book, or a game app on your phone, or a favorite musical instrument — choose your weapon. Keep it close by so you can reward yourself with short breaks, but tuck it out of sight. You don’t want to be constantly tempted and find yourself staring longingly at it instead of working. CONFINE YOUR WORK SPACE Confine your work space to a specific area in your home so your job doesn’t intrude into the lives of other household members and you can concentrate. Have a space that you designate as your workstation instead of checking emails, voicemails or texting in front of TV or spreading work out on the kitchen table. Make your space a stress-free zone of quiet and solitude where you can concentrate. If you don’t have a separate room, find an area with This has been an ongoing debate for some time. Still, there’s something

to be said about working from your home.

According to a recent study published in the Harvard Business Review,

people who work from home are more productive than people who

work from an office as long as they work the same office schedule.

Although this may seem hard to believe, many employees consider the

office environment a constant distraction. The silence and privacy that

your home provides can be a great asset when it comes to increasing

your productivity.

CREATE A HAPPY AND COSY HOME OFFICE

Working from home can be challenging, but having a dedicated, well

set up workspace can make all the difference. You should aim to

make it both functional and appealing. Here are a few tips to help

you create the ideal space. SET YOUR OFFICE UP FOR PRODUCTIVITY

Try to stay out of trafficked areas and find a quiet corner of the house, if at all

possible. Paint your space a soothing colour you enjoy (green is supposed to be

great for productivity). Make sure your space has a window, unless you enjoy

the feeling of working in a cave. Put plants or a small fountain outside that

window, if possible, to give yourself something non-distracting and peaceful

to look at. Make enough space that you can have everything you need to get
