After the pandemic breakdown we learned a lot on how to live a different way. Many of us are still working from home entirely or at least part time and some of us love that idea and even change our schedules to spend more time at home. One of the facts we learned about work remotely is that we need a space to do it in the best possible way and without interfering with home daily routines. That’s why home offices are here to stay!
Because not all houses have the space for an office, we must use our creativity and find an extra space to accommodate it. Places like guest rooms, breakfast areas, garages, even closets were transformed into an office and for the moment it may have worked. Now, that we have the time, we can carry up a small project to create a wonderful working space.
What factors do we need in order to achieve that ideal space? Here are some tips to keep in mind:
- Illumination
As it is a place designed to spend long hours, it should ideally have natural light, which would be achieved through windows. If this is not possible, there are countless alternatives in artificial light on the market.
- Ventilation
We must breathe freely to allow our processes to be more productive. A space with windows or wide doors that allow air circulation would be perfect here.
- Ergonomic
Be practical and functional. Comfortable and elegant chairs and open shelves to have everything you need close at hand.
- Saturation
It tends to overwhelm us and create stress. Refers to excess decoration, furniture, lights, and colors.
- Warm colors
They represent cleanliness, freshness, and peacefulness inviting concentration and efficiency.
- Efficient spaces
Every detail must be designed to achieve greater productivity. Being minimalist would work highly. As we mentioned before, the idea is to have what is functionally necessary, there is no room for saturation.
