Now, more than ever, our homes have become a safe sanctuary. We have more time to reflect on the space around us – be it our precious outside space or our favourite cosy corner.
With the trend for hybrid working on the rise, our attention has turned to creating an inspirational working environment. So, whether your new workspace is perching on the side of the bed, or you’re lucky enough to have a dedicated room – the aim should be to make it a calm and inspirational
space.
6 tips to help you stay positive while working from home:
- Spend time talking to your team
- Take frequent breaks
- Get up and move
- Create an inspirational working space
- Find the natural light
- Let go of what you can’t change – find the positivity
Actually pretending you are going into the office is another good tip that can be very effective. The act of setting the alarm and going through the motions – perhaps a quick stroll around the block or putting on some nice clothes works for many people.
Whilst some of these tips might be harder to achieve than others, creating an inspirational working space should be a certainty. Whether that’s just a carefully placed potted plant or the investment of some new furniture and accessories - all help to create a safe, happy place that you look forward to spending time in. A well thought out work space will spark your creativity and focus the mind on getting the most out of your day.
My Furniture offer everything from affordable desks and chairs to decorative artworks and rugs. So let’s get down to business with our favourite picks:
Comfort is key
The most important investment for the home study is a comfortable chair. If you are going to be using it for a good part of the day, make sure it works for you. And if it looks good, that’s a bonus also.
Get tidy
Maximise your space with wall shelving. As well as useful office storage, include some of your favourite treasures. Practical, as well as aesthetically pleasing.
Light your space correctly
Lighting your home office should do more than simply illuminate the space. Using the correct desk lamp should reduce eye strain and keep you alert. My Furniture offer a wide selection of desk lamps, floor lamps, as well as pendant lights that are not only pretty, but practical too.
Dedicated desk
Your desk is your best friend right now. Choose wisely and make sure it perfectly fills all your requirements. No room? Consider doubling up with a console table.
Be organised
Keeping your weekly activities organised helps with focusing the mind and getting the most out of each day.
Soft under foot
Now is the time to kick off those shoes and feel comfortable while you work. My Furniture have a large selection of rugs to suit all tastes, from bold geometric shapes to soft tonal patterns. All in super soft 100% wool.
Finishing touches
Complete your home office with inspirational artworks. A selection of framed, hand-finished prints can be found at my-furniture.com. All ready to go and can be with you in as little as two days.
