When decorating an office at home, make sure you have access to plenty of daylight, as it’s very important for productivity

What to consider before you start decorating your home office

Introducing any significant changes in interior décor requires a sensible plan. Before you get to work, make sure to think about the designs and materials you want to use as well as the intended effect. This step is especially important when it comes to home offices. This type of interior comes with its own unique challenges. So, what should one keep in mind?

It is a common belief that you can’t have a home office if your flat is small and you don’t have a spare room. This is, however, completely untrue! A comfortable office doesn’t necessarily have to be separate from the rest of your home. You can create a fantastic working space by sectioning off a part of another interior. In most cases, the living room will be the best candidate for an office.

Before you do anything, however, think about the practical aspects of the space. There are two elements worth considering – the amount of daylight and the number of sockets nearby. Working under natural light is much less tiring.

Having easy access to a window will also let you quickly air the room, which also translates to more comfort. Every office needs good cable management and extra sockets will make it much easier to plug in all the computers, printers and phone chargers.

One thing to keep in mind is that the place where you work and the place where you relax should be kept separate at all times. That’s why it is not recommended to create an office space in a bedroom or the part of a living room where you normally rest after work. This important rule is dictated by the way human brains are wired. If one doesn’t distinguish between their working and resting space, it may lead to lower quality sleep (or rest in general) as well as difficulties concentrating and decreased productivity.

Home office décor – pros and cons

Working from home has its advantages and disadvantages. Some people find it very convenient, while others cannot imagine life without leaving their homes in the morning. Having a personal office at home also has it fair share of benefits and drawbacks.

Don’t forget to beautify your office with matching decorations. For darker walls, we recommend a city map canvas print – myloview.com

What are the advantages of a home office? First of all, you are in complete control of the way the workspace is arranged and decorated. You can pick your preferred colours and furniture, down to the tiniest knick-knack. Secondly, working from home can be very comfortable. After all, you have constant access to your own kitchen, bathroom and toilet.

It’s important to remember, however, that you do need to sacrifice some of that personal space to accommodate a home office. The more room you have to spare, the better. A large desk is a must-have if you want to have easy access to your computer as well as all the necessary office supplies and documents. If you have an empty wall nearby, you can use it to hang some motivational decorations (like posters) or a pinboard.

But even though having lots of space is optimal, don’t be discouraged if your flat is relatively small. There are still plenty of solutions that could help you design a practical and stylish home office! How should you approach this task? Continue reading to find out!

How to decorate a home office? Here’s our step by step guide!

So far we’ve discussed all the pros and cons of having an office at home. We’ve also mentioned everything you need to think about to plan out the best possible office space. It’s time to put that knowledge to the test! What is the first step?

• Find the right place!

  Begin by looking around your flat. Good home office décor should be well thought out and ergonomic. You can divide your home into zones in your mind and decide which part of it will be best for an office. As mentioned before, you can consider access to daylight and proximity to sockets as two of the criteria.

  A smaller home office is most often located in a corner, where it can be separated from the rest of the room with a desk or another piece of furniture. Such a space should also be free of distracting accessories and eye-catching details that could disrupt your concentration.

• Invest in good equipment and supplies

  A large, organised desk with enough drawers and cabinets and a comfortable swivel chair are essential for every home office. Make sure that your desk is able to accommodate all the necessary equipment and supplies, including a computer, document folders, a stapler, a paper punch, sticky notes, pens and anything else you may need. If however, your desk is a bit too small to fit everything, don’t sacrifice your comfort by cluttering the workspace.

  Every office needs a supply of the essential materials, tools and accessories. Make sure to organise them well!

  Sitting at an overloaded desk several hours a day will quickly make you feel exhausted and claustrophobic. Functional furniture (with built-in organisers) will help you reconcile comfort and practicality. We also recommend surrounding the workspace with a few potted plants as well as decorations that are both useful and aesthetically pleasing – like a world map poster.

• Light and colours

  Proper lighting is very important for working comfort. Right next to the colour scheme of an office, it can have a significant impact on productivity. Consider what the best way to arrange light sources in the space would be and make sure their colour temperatures aren’t a strain on the eyes. When it comes to colour schemes, we recommend subdued tones, although the office should not feel too monotonous. You can also enhance the effectiveness of your lighting with well-thought-out decorations. In the case of an office, it’s best to go for designs which are multicoloured but not chaotic, for instance a neat, geometric triangles wall mural.

How to decorate your office at home? Wallpaper designs that visually enlarge the decorated interior

Having a large spare room is undoubtedly optimal when it comes to creating a workspace at home. But what if one decides to carve an office out of another room? With the right decorations, you can make a smaller office just as appealing.

People often struggle with designing a home office that’s practical, comfortable and aesthetically pleasing at the same time. Without a proper plan, one may easily end up with a space that feels very cramped or overwhelmingly busy. It is possible, however, to fix a lot of those issues through clever decoration. We’re talking especially about wall decorations, which don’t take up space. Avoid cluttering your desk with framed pictures, figurines and other knick-knacks.

Instead, go for subtle wall decorations in soft, subdued colour schemes. These designs will make your workspace feel lighter and more appealing without distracting you from work. One great example of such a design is the floral wall mural from Myloview.

The elegant floral motif on white background will instantly make your office feel cosier. Another nature-inspired design in a similar style is the reed stems wall mural. This warm colour scheme will be a perfect choice for classic interiors featuring wooden furniture.

Universal trick – always go green!

Sitting in front of the computer screen for long hours and going through piles of documents can be really hard on the eyes. You can let them rest… by looking at something green! The colour green has been shown to have a soothing effect on human eyesight in addition to improving one’s overall mood. This is exactly why it’s always recommended to incorporate a few green decorations, like the springtime trees and grass poster, into any office space. The design will make your workspace more lively and comfortable. Whenever your eyes feel a bit strained, you can turn them to the beautiful poster on the wall and let them rest.
