Entrepreneurs, managers with demanding responsibilities and those moonlighting can all do with a inspiring home office setup that boosts productivity for when work needs finishing from home.
Some companies allow people to work from home or offer flexi hours so they can avoid traffic jams during rush hour and work via email, Slack and virtual private networks. Almost everybody is either a morning person or a night owl, and these productive hours are outside the normal working day. An inspiring home office setup can help make the most of productive hours.
We’ve highlighted two setups, one chic and cozy home office, and the other more suitable for creative types.
Desk
Simpler and lightweight writing desks are growing in popularity for home offices, as they take ample room and are easily moved around, when necessary.
Chair
The perfect back support will ensure that you are comfortable and sharp while working, and keep you from curling up on the sofa with your laptop – and procrastinating!
Desk lamp
Lighting can make a real difference in overall productivity. Natural daylight is said to be the best light to work, but a direct light desk lamp will do the trick at night.
Library/bookcase
Rather than piling all your work books on the desk, a bookcase or library will help keep track of all important documents and books.
Lounge chair and ottoman
It’s also important to get up and stretch your legs once in a way. Stepping away from the desk, a snug lounge chair and ottoman can serve as a break time reading nook, as well as a place to catch up on the week’s news.
Floor lamp
Good lighting is essential in any home office. Complement the lounge chair with a floor lamp to illuminate your reading corner.
