Update Your Northwest Florida Home Office: Flexible, Focused Space that Works for You
Posted on March 31, 2023
For decades, many have utilized a home office as an extension of the regular 9 to 5 workday. However, they have become mainstream as the pandemic forced many people to work from home and continues today, whether due to necessity or convenience. Additionally, many people still enjoy their home offices’ benefits to the entire family, including children who attend virtual school.
When updating your home office, there are myriad options: ergonomic chairs for lumbar support, a presentation wall and projector, and multiple digital and media tools. Whether your home office is minimal with a small area, a desk, a chair, and a laptop, or whether it has every hi-tech gadget on the market, your space needs certain key elements to provide a thriving environment.
Five key considerations when updating your home office space:
- Keep it simple: Minimize distractions. Do not go overboard with too many patterns or wild decor that distract or disrupt focus. One simple geometric pattern in the room or stripe accent is plenty, but do not overdo it.
- Keep it neat: Organize using shelves, bins, and tubs neatly labeled. You want to be able to focus on the tasks at hand, not have your eyes darting to and fro looking at various items in the room.
- Keep it calm: Colors should be neutral and soft. Great choices are grays, beiges, off-whites, or soft blues and greens. If using the room for virtual school, chalkboard paint is an excellent choice, even for an accent wall. Contact the professionals at CertaPro Painters® of Northwest Florida for a color consultation.
- Keep it light: Glare from fluorescent lights can cause strain on the eyes. The best source is natural lighting from a window or skylight.
- Keep it comfortable: Consider a couch for a place to rest or read or a reading nook with a chair for smaller areas. Indoor plants bring the outdoors in and remind you to breathe. Bring small accents of natural decor to your office, which help you relax and take mental breaks as needed.
