3 Questions to Ask Before Refreshing Your Home Office

June 1, 2021 · Home Décor




Are you finding working from home more of a struggle than you’d like? As the initial novelty of the home office and working from home wears off, and the reality of keeping up with daily tasks sinks in, some of us are hitting problems with our office set up.

With many of us working from home, and potentially a trend to continue, we’re in need of ideas to recharge our home office environment for a brighter working day. So, what can you do to recharge your home office environment and make your working day a happier one?

There are a few ideas to revitalize your space to maximize impact. There are some questions you need to ask yourself first.


Are You Working in The Right Space?

Before you start decorating or redecorating your office space, you need to ask yourself an important question: Is it in the right location? Because no matter how you decorate your office, if it isn’t in a suitable place, is simply won’t work.

How Do You Know it’s Right?

Well, it needs to tick some fundamental boxes:

  • it should have natural light;
  • be free from other household distractions; and
  • be well-served by air conditioning, heating, and electrical points.

An old shed or basement, may not cut it. That could mean budgeting for structural changes – the cost of loft conversion work or building a small extension – to accommodate your new lifestyle properly. This could be worth the outlay if it prevents your work taking over your home and improves your stress levels.

Is it Worth it?

Making some changes to your current home may be essential, especially if you’re going to work from home permanently, full time or part time. It’s a long term contract you are taking with your current living arrangement that is now serving a dual purpose.Shop Boll & Branch Now!

Decorating For a Brighter Working Day

Setup

Working in a dark, gloomy, or oppressive space is not going to be good for your health long-term. So, you need to think carefully about how you decorate your home office. Apart from painting a space in brilliant white, there are other ways to keep a space light, bright and airy. Think about surfaces. Whether you are painting or wallpapering walls, use coverings with a slight sheen to reflect the natural light.

Furniture

Furnishings such as mirrors, glass-topped desks, and the use of metallics are options you could try too. Lots of built-in storage can help a home office feel uncluttered, but if it’s a small room this could make it feel even smaller. So, you might prefer to use open shelves instead and simply tuck clutter into baskets and storage boxes.

Floors & Windows

If your floor covering is dark, lighten it with a bright rug. For small windows not bringing in enough light, add some extra glare-free lighting. It could also be worth checking that your natural light isn’t being blocked by trees or foliage on the outside or heavy window dressings on the inside. Regularly cleaning the windowpanes will help bring in more light.

Accessories

Incorporate some bright and cheerful accessories into your workspace. Modern prints or fancy stationery can add a touch of retro and art.

The Gist of it

Perk up your work from home day with small things without cluttering up your space. You don’t need a massive space for a home office but some updates can go a long way. Brightening it up with light colours for rugs, furniture and open shelving is an easy fix for a long term contract you will have with your home office.

The Trucker convoy is still going strong and sprea The Trucker convoy is still going strong and spreading around the world. The trump cheerleaders found themselves another excuse to occupy institutional buildings and the cities that house them. While I too am fed up of the mandates, I don’t believe their plights are justified. Yes it’s frustrating the flip flop between closures and reopening, and while they are implemented at times to limit the spread as to alleviate the strain on the healthcare system, as annoying as they are, I don’t think it’s a reason to be shouting freedom on parliament hill, harassing residents or blatantly displaying racist symbols and rhetoric. For the most part, mandates are not stopping anyone from living, going out, even travelling! They’re a temporary inconvenience to our daily lives, but in due time, will be lifted as COVID becomes more manageable. This isn’t the worlds first go around at a pandemic. Each round takes time to return things back to normal…Just go back to 1918 to see what happened…were those public health measures still in effect 5 or 10 years later?? My heart goes out to businesses and employees whose livelihoods have suffered, especially as gov assistance winds down. But like all trends, major events force humanity to readapt (think automation). Vacancy rate has been at an all time high and unemployment back to pre-pandemic levels, proof that many employees and businesses have retooled and transformed. If those convoys feel strongly about protesting, they should protest for healthcare reform. Canada is ranking as the worst in the G7 for healthcare. Our system is riddled with administrators, not enough doctors or nurses. Caps are put in residency spots and foreign trained healthcare workers waste expertise on low-skilled work as they’re deemed “not good enough” to work in the Canadian healthcare system…now that’s something worth shouting freedom for!
