Home Office: creating your own workspace in your home
Home Office and Studio, how to integrate them into your home decor?
Changing our approach to the world of work, making your own home office has become a must. But what does it take to do it best? Full-time or hybrid agile (or smart working) is a mode of operation that, according to Future of Work Italia research developed by LinkedIn, half of Italians would like to continue even after the pandemic and gradual return to normalcy.
But when you decide to transform your home into an ergonomic and practical workspace, it needs to be as comfortable and stimulating as possible.
How, then, to create a home office or studio that complements the home decor without making it aseptic and formal?
1. Choose the right place to be inspired
The most important thing to decide when designing a home office is to choose the right room or corner of the house in which to organize it. Ideally, you should find a room with minimal distractions, a comfortable temperature and enough space for all the necessary equipment.
The bedroom, for example, is not an ideal choice for creating a work space, as we subconsciously associate this space with rest rather than productivity. On the other hand, if you have limited space, you can carve out a small quiet corner in the living room by using a few pieces of furniture and some space-saving tricks to carve out your own work space.
2. Find a comfortable desk chair for your home office
After selecting the ideal room or area in which to create one’s “home office,” it is necessary to think about the essential furniture elements for a comfortable work space. First and foremost is the most important element, the office chair.
Investing in a comfortable chair is the best thing you can do, both to ensure your personal well-being and to improve your productivity.
Adequate back support is essential to avoid postural problems, and it is easy to think that it is impossible to find one that is functional but stylish at the same time.
Our collection of chairs and armchairs meets precisely the needs of those who are looking for ergonomic and elegant seating.
If your home office space is limited, a folding wall desk might be the right solution. A wall desk is a perfect solution for maximizing the space in your home. The second advantage that a folding desk offers is that it can be placed at any height you desire, thus ensuring maximum ergonomics and comfort.
What if, in addition to being comfortable, it is also beautiful to look at? Hella by TrueDesign, for example, once folded up transforms into a design element that perfectly meets both the aesthetic needs of those who look at it and the functional needs of those who use it.
Having a functional technical configuration makes work easier and less stressful, which is why creating a comfortable, practical and ergonomic environment can make all the difference in productivity, health and mood.
Working in an orderly work space promotes productivity and helps you focus on the task at hand. It is very often said, in fact, that a tidy desk is a tidy mind! A desk covered with papers or equipment will only increase stress levels and make it more difficult to concentrate.
One solution might be to use a cabinet or small bookcase where you can organize the materials and work tools that you use less frequently. Blade Cabinet meets this need perfectly, integrating seamlessly with both home and work environments.
5. Add some green
Adding a “green” touch to one’s work space is a great way to find wellness both in the office and at home.
Having plants, in fact:
– Improves air quality and health
– Reduces stress
– Improves productivity
– Makes the work space more comfortable
Succulent plants, Melissa and Potos are definitely the most common choices as they require little attention and are perfectly adapted to indoor places.
The two environments, previously kept deliberately separate, have had to be brought together and completely reinvented to make sure that they combine two fundamental aspects of many workers’ lives: design and practicality. These work tools and furniture elements are designed to be able to change, as time and habits change, to this new way of not only living and sharing, but also working.
