How to be inspired while you work from home

The sky’s the limit with these home office tips and ideas! Your office is about to become your new favorite room!

You’ll be excited to get to work.

Location is Key

Think outside of the box! Location is important when it comes to balancing work and personal life at home. Try turning a small tucked away space, like an office nook in your living room or kitchen island into a mini workstation so you can stay in the middle of the action while getting your work done. Need a little privacy? Turn a small space, like your attic or loft, into a cozy office getaway or try moving your desk by a peaceful window to help your office feel airy and sunny. If stellar lighting isn’t ideal try sprucing up your space by adding some bold accent lamps. The perfect bold pattern will keep the room looking fresh while also preventing you from straining your eyes.

Have the Best Seat in the House

Add some luxe to your home office by including a gorgeous, ergonomic, comfy chair to boost your productivity. Try to find an adjustable office chair that allows you to change the chair’s height and angles to keep your work flow grooving! Don’t be afraid to use vivid hues and striking patterned pillows or blankets for an added touch of comfort.

Colorful Storage

Organize your documents and hide office clutter with storage solutions such as fun, colorful cloth bins, funky metal boxes or even an elegant velvet ottoman for a multipurpose option. Need to update an old filing cabinet? Try creating a cohesive statement by picking a metallic color accent and using it throughout your office area.

Make Your Mark

If you work from home, you know that adding some gorgeous, decorative home office ideas to your workspace is a must! After all, who wouldn’t want to work in a beautiful room that motivates you? Whether its DIYing your office desk or adding a pop of color to the wall, adding a little bit of YOU goes a long way when it comes to finding inspiration and motivation.

Make Room

Another way to update your workstation to keep you moving is to reposition your mouse and keyboard. When you work, make sure that your mouse and keyboard are as close to you as possible. This makes it so you do not have to stretch your arms out too far while you work, which will reduce straining your arms. A lengthy desktop will give you plenty of space to store items and work on various projects comfortably.

Take a Hike

After you finish designing your new and improved home office consider implementing healthier life habits during and outside your work day to keep your moving, driving and inspired! Don’t be afraid to take a break every hour or so (you deserve it!) Take a hike, walk your dog, get out that yoga mat and stretch! Good posture is key. Need a little pick me up? Try making yourself a yummy and nutritious snack, like watermelon mint salad, or a bright and colorful smoothie bowl to get you over that afternoon hump. It’s all about finding out what works for you and helps your work day to be the best it can be.
