MAKE YOUR HOME OFFICE WORK FOR YOU!
In these ever-changing times, workspaces are popping up everywhere, from home offices to on-the-go make-shift spaces in your vehicle.
In this bustling luxury real estate market at the Lake of the Ozarks, we understand the need for getting your work completed when and where you find it possible! While your vehicle might not be an ideal spot for a workspace, we do have some tips for creating a home office that will inspire you to get creative and be productive!
Creating a dedicated workspace that is separate from the general living areas of your home is key. Daily distractions can disrupt the flow of a typical workday and can hinder getting those projects and deadlines met!
GETTING STARTED:
Finding an area or a room in your home where there is lots of natural light will help get you motivated to leave your household chores behind and focus on the task at hand.
INDUSTRIAL DECOR:
If you are looking to incorporate the industrial style in your home décor, your home office would be the perfect place to start. From individual shelving to bookcases, iron and metal displays are the best way to keep your files and paperwork close at hand, while maintaining a stylish setting at the same time.
VISUALLY INSPIRING:
Surround your workspace with things that are visually interesting and that inspire you to get your creative juices flowing. Your workspace doesn’t have to feel like the cold cubicles of days past – fill them with personal belongings so the space flows with the rest of your home – working, no matter what the project, shouldn’t feel like punishment!
FUNCTIONAL FURNISHINGS:
Your home office doesn’t need to feel like a home office. There are beautiful pieces of furniture that can function as a work area and desk chairs can range from leather to faux fur - there is no limit when choosing your design as long as it works for your specific needs. File cabinets no longer have to be made of metal – think wooden end tables with drawers designed to hold all your files and office supplies.
Late-night projects weighing you down? Lighting can play a crucial role when having to work after hours when there is no natural light to work with. Incorporating a strong desk lamp that can adjust to different positions to assist you in completing your projects can also add style to your space.
FINDING SPACE:
Don’t have an extra room to dedicate to a home office? Finding an unused corner or nook can serve as a workspace if you are short on space. Utilize floor-to-ceiling wall space for shelving and lighting. An unused closet can serve as a workspace to place a desk and shelving – the doors can then be closed to hide your workload and relax with guests after your workday is done.
ROOM WITH A VIEW:
If you are fortunate enough to have a room to dedicate to an office – place your desk or workspace beneath a window for an inspiring view and natural lighting. Incorporate plants into the space as a natural air purifier and instill the feeling of calm and nature.
No matter what your individual style, carry it through to your home office so that it feels like a natural addition to the rest of your living space.
