When you work from home, it’s important to have a space that is both functional and comfortable. After all, you’ll be spending a lot of time there! Here are a few tips to help you make your home office work for you.
1. Get the most out of your WiFi by staying close
Even if you have a fast connection to your home, sitting too far away from your router means glitchy video calls. Your router is like a speaker for WiFi – if it’s in another room, you can’t hear the music.
2. Get the right lighting
Natural light aids productivity, so try to position your desk so you can benefit from the sunshine, without getting glare on your screen. If you prefer early mornings or late nights, invest in a good desk lamp or upgrade your ceiling lights.
3. Colour sets the mood
They say blue calms us down, red gives energy, and yellow stirs the emotions. We think the best colour for your office is the colour you like the most. Update the wall in front of your desk with your favourite colour or with a wallpaper you like.
4. You're going to sit there all day...
… you might as well get comfortable. Invest in a good office chair and desk. If you cannot find the right desk for your space, why not get a pro to make a custom desk for you?
