When you work from home, you need the proper office space setup. You’ll want somewhere to concentrate that’s separate from the rest of the household where you know you can get work done. Having a workspace designed with comfortable and attractive furniture is essential to achieve maximum productivity. If your home office could use some improvement, the following tips will give you some ideas to try.

How to Design a More Functional & Appealing Home Office

1. Take Advantage of the Corners

Every inch of space is valuable in a home office. If you feel cramped, maximize your square footage by utilizing the corners. Putting in a corner desk will open up the area, giving you more room to maneuver. Angled bookshelves and cabinets can also help make the most of a corner’s potential. 

2. Get Creative With Storage

Home offices can accumulate quite a bit of clutter, making it hard to find your materials and can clutter your headspace. Keeping a clean and organized workplace helps you stay productive by improving efficiency and mental clarity. While metal filing cabinets help sort your paperwork, they aren’t the most eye-catching furniture; instead, choose a modern wood file cart, cabinet, or pedestal as a stylish and efficient form of storage. A credenza or a bookshelf with cabinets that can add further storage space, and serves as a visually pleasing backdrop on video conference calls.

3. Create a Space to Relax 

Every office can benefit from having some furniture set up away from the desk to create an informal and relaxed area. Choose a comfortable couch or chair where you can sit and read, have meetings, or chat with visitors. Taking a break on occasion will refresh your mind when you’re starting to feel burnt out.
