Your home office space
can be a dull and uninspiring place as it is typically a spare room that we tend to use for extra storage and the occasional area to do bills.

You may
have a desk and computer, but most people are guilty of neglecting their office
space when it comes to décor.

One of the luxuries of working from home is
that you can create an environment that you feel happy in, rather than being
cooped up in a dull corporate office.

So take advantage of your situation and
decorate you office space with all of the little things that delight you,
whether that be your favorite photograph or a luxury scented candle.

Get Organized
Your office
needs to be functional and fit for purpose in addition to being inviting. It should
be organized and a productive place that you can retreat to when you really need
to buckle down and get something done.

Attach a wipe-able glass panel to the
wall and write any to-do notes or even draw timetable of your schedule. The glass
will look much more chic than a regular whiteboard, so your office will feel a
little less corporate.

If you struggle to

If you love coffee or tea,
invest in a mini electric kettle or Keurig so you do not have to continue to be
interrupted by heading to the kitchen every hour or so.

Comfort is Key
A comfortable
office chair is a practical essential while tackling time intensive projects.
Back problems are rife in office based workplaces, so it is important to choose
a chair that will offer you comfort and support while you work.

A high-backed
chair is a good option as it will support your shoulders, back and neck, so
hopefully you will not feel achy after a long night of hard work.

August 26, 2013Been feeling so uninspired in my room/home office space lately, so very grateful that you posted this!! Great tips, and I clearly need to make a couple necessary investments.

August 27, 2013I wish I worked from home. Sigh. I love that white chair! And although I don't work from home, my office is definitely one of the most-focused on parts of my home – it's where I do all my blogging, YouTubing, you name it! I love your tips, and I definitely need to add more family photos in there.
