Whether you’re a freelance creative or an entrepreneur, managing your business from home has several advantages. The challenge, however, is creating a space that can inspire you in your work and enable you to perform tasks more efficiently.
DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Orland Park, a local home renovation expert, shares some design tips that can help you become more productive in your home office.
Find the Right Space
It’s critical to pick the right spot in your home for an office. For starters, all your supplies, furniture and equipment should be able to fit your chosen space. Everything you need should be in there so that you can maintain an efficient workflow.
Design a Layout That Works for You
It usually helps to plan where particular items will be placed in your office. This way, you can have a clearer idea of how big your desk should be, how many filing cabinets you need or where you’ll position large equipment like printers. Don’t hesitate to share these details with your interior remodeling contractor. This will help guide them in building the home office you need.
Choose Comfortable Furniture
You can start with the chair and desk. Make sure your chair can be adjusted to ensure better lumbar support, appropriate seat height and comfortable armrests. Your desk should be at a comfortable level too. It should have enough drawers or space for all your work items.
Ensure Proper Lighting
To ensure eye comfort, the light in your office should be directed away from your line of sight. Generally, it’s best to have natural light from side windows. You should also have an adjustable desk lamp to provide supplemental light.
