In a time where more people than ever are working from their homes, it's important to have a space where you can complete the job at hand. Some days, it can be hard to find motivation to get to work—especially when your office also happens to be your bedroom, kitchen or living room, too. But we promise, it’ll be a lot easier rolling up your sleeves and getting to work if your home office is looking stylish, feels energizing and promotes productivity. If you either have already dedicated space that needs a facelift or haven’t gotten around to sectioning off an area for work, here are a few home office ideas to keep in mind when creating the perfect place for you to work.

Workspace Wonder

It all starts with building a foundation for your small home office, which means finding the right desk. There are a few important things to consider. First and foremost, the space you have available to you. Measure out roughly where you’ll want to place an office desk, and if it’s particularly small or requires a specific size, make sure to keep that size in mind.

A lengthy desktop gives you plenty of space to store and work on various items or projects. On the other hand, a small writing desk can provide just the necessary space and still work in tight layouts. Corner L-shaped desks can allow you to make the most out your workspace without taking up too much floor space. These desks contain plenty of storage options as well as desktop space.

Those who develop a bothered back by spending all day sitting may want to invest in a lift desk. You can also make the most out of your current desk by adding a sit-to-stand workstation, which is not only versatile but easy to use. For instance, some models may consist of a two-shelf adjustable device that mounts directly atop your desk. Your keyboard gets placed on one level with your monitor on the other, allowing you to easily adjust their height for both sitting and standing.

Take A Seat

You spend hours parked in your home office chair, so make sure you choose one that is not only aesthetically pleasing, but an ergonomically correct, comfortable seat worth every dime. Mesh bodied chairs are not only versatile but may offer ideal lumbar support with a semi curved back. The full body mesh also provides full-body support and adjusts to temperature changes to keep you cool.

An adjustable height office stool is a useful piece to bring into your home. There are many options available, such as an adjustable stool with a soft linen like fabric, which gives it the style that you want and a bit of a retro look. If space allows, adding an armless chair or chaise to your home office will help give your office a homey style that complements the rest of your decor. This addition also gives you the option to switch back and forth between your desk and lounge-y area throughout the workday.

Let There Be Light

Bright ideas call for a brightly lit room! Make sure your home office comes equipped with plenty of light to cut down on the headaches and eye strain. If your office doesn’t have a lot of natural light, you will want to add spot lighting. If you don’t have room for a desk lamp on your desk, try utilizing a floor lamp or wall sconce to not only brighten your office but gain that precious desk space back. For overhead lighting, adding a chandelier in your office space is also a bold, yet elegant statement. Another lighting tip: be sure your computer is positioned in such a way that cuts any glare from the window or overhead light.

Dazzling Decor

Your perfect home office may start with finding the perfect desk or chair but ends with the decor that creates a space where your creative juices can flow effectively. The following office decor ideas are sure to have you ready to give your home office the facelift it has been needing. Start with the storage. A lovely credenza or cabinet will keep your papers and other office supplies out of sight. Try a statement painting. Adding beautiful art into your home office is an easy way of elevating it and making it feel like a happy space. In contrast, a picture gallery or large mirror above your workspace can elongate your space, providing a spatial trick that’s ideal for small office spots. Of course, a bulletin board and a whiteboard will always have a place on your reimagined workspace walls. Add in a bold, patterned rug, some color through bright pillows or throws, and some plants to incorporate the natural texture and more of a clean, bohemian look! Do not forget to let your office space be a true representation of yourself and your personality! You are able to mix your favorite patterns and colors without having to worry about offending your fellow colleagues!

At the end of the day, your home office space is where you need to feel most at home, while having the motivated, at work mentality. Using these home office decor ideas above, hopefully you are able to come to terms with what your dream office space looks like.
