Recreate Your Work Environment

We are all getting used to our new “normal” because of Covid-19, and luckily we live in a time where working from home is an option, and as time goes on the remote office could very well be the new normal.

Right now is the perfect time to put some thought into what your personal office looks like and how you can make it a more productive environment, a place that brings out your creativity and happiness.

Surround Yourself With Peace Of Mind

Creating a work environment in your home can be a challenge, especially while trying to stay focused and organized. But your work environment should be an area dedicated to getting your work done.

Establishing your work area somewhere different from where you normally sit on the couch and relax is a good idea. Dedicating one area as where you will be working every day will get you in a routine of staying focused instead of easily being distracted by whatever is on TV.

Having your work environment mapped out can help you to stay on task, but it’s important to surround yourself with functional furniture and a style that makes you feel comfortable and happy.  Since your office is now in your home, you have all the possibilities to make your new work environment much better than before—without your boss telling you otherwise.

Office Design Opportunities

Many people are bracing themselves for working from home either permanently or for much longer than anticipated, and as video conferencing becomes more popular you may want to have a professional look to your home office. 

Making sure your office features good lighting is key; you don’t want to give off a dark and gloomy ambience in a video conference with your team or clients.  Instead, use any natural lighting from outside or lamps to help bring your office to life.

Creating a nice background for a video conference can really set you apart. Showing your clients and team members your creative side lets them know that  you made the effort to make your work more enjoyable. If your work is on the creative side, have fun and personalize your space to fit your style and personality. Surround your space with items that make you happy, calm, productive and creative.

Peace and quiet is not only nice for ourselves, but for anyone entering our workspace, physically or virtually.  Making sure that you have a work environment that is relatively quiet will make work life much easier for you and everyone you interact with.

Make It Fun And Productive

Instead of dreading your home office every time you step foot inside, use this as an opportunity to make your work environment a great place to get to work. But most importantly, have fun and be playful with your choices, it will make all the difference in how productive and happy you will be.
