Home Office Design Ideas

“The shift from the office 9-5 to people being given the flexibility of working from home comes with many distractions, which can make it hard to focus on your work. Having a cleverly designed home office that will boost motivation and inspire productivity is crucial. Here are some home office design ideas and inspiration that will make working from home easier.
Create a multipurpose room
Not everyone will be able to dedicate a whole room to home working, but that doesn’t mean you are destined to work from the kitchen table. If space is limited, choose a room that you can reorganise to incorporate a suitable home working space nook.
Is the alcove in your living room wide enough for a desk? Or maybe you have a corner of your bedroom that would be more suitable? Get creative and see how you can transform one of your rooms into a WFH paradise. You could even look at using curtains or room dividers to completely separate an area for you to work from.
Opt for a feature wall
Communal offices were often limited to simple white walls that offered little in the way of inspiration. With a home office, there are almost no limits, meaning you can add your own personality and tastes to the design.
Remember that one of the walls in your home office will feature heavily in your video calls, so it’s important to ensure that the wall in question is tasteful and suitably designed to double as a Zoom background.
Incorporate a mood board
Combine your work and personal life by creating an inspirational mood board that you can place on your desk or attach to the wall. Photos, to-do lists, motivational quotes and other items that make you happy are great for this item of home office decor.

Make use of colour
If you are limited on what you can do with the walls in your home office, colourful accessories can instantly brighten up a room. Anything from brightly coloured post-it notes for your mood board to vibrant pen holders and bins will make your workspace stand out.
Use shelving
Keeping a clutter-free workspace is essential for minimising distractions. If there are lots of things you need to access during your work day, or if you simply want somewhere to store your gadgets and personal items, shelves are a great way of keeping your desk space clear.
Shelves can be particularly helpful if you are working on the interior design of a small office that has limited space for storage units.
Be green
Indoor plants and succulents have many benefits in an office such as reducing stress levels and purifying the air, as well as the fact that they look great. Explore the range of indoor plants and find something that you really like the look of, whether that’s a couple of potted succulents for your desk or maybe even a vine plant that you can drape across a shelf

Consider lighting
Keeping your home office space light and airy is important. Make the most of natural light in the summer months and think about the artificial light sources you will need during those dreary winter days.
You’ll also need to think about glare and reflection of light on your screen(s). Trial the position of your desk and computer/laptop before setting it up properly to make sure that it is easy on your eyes.
Invest in an ergonomic desk and chair
The key to designing a home office is ensuring that you have a suitable desk and chair in place. Not only do you want them to look good, but they also need to be comfortable and offer the right support that your body needs.
