If you’ve been working from home over the past year, you know how mundane the workday can feel without an environment packed with coworkers and cool office gadgets. As offices open again, many employees will continue to work remotely. If you plan on staying home to work, there are still ways you can make your at-home experience more productive and unique. Discover how to personalize your office space at home.
Upgrade Your Chair
Before quarantine, many homes were lacking an ergonomic chair or two. If your home is without a comfortable work chair, it’s time to upgrade your seating arrangement.
Your new chair should support your posture and provide comfort for the full eight or nine hours of your workday. Chairs with neck and arm support have become popular for remote workers, too, as they promote good posture and relaxed neck and shoulders.
Customize Your PC
Did you know that you can customize your PC? That’s right—that big block of hardware that enables network connection is eligible for personalization.
PC component manufacturers release various PC parts in different colors, sizes, and designs to appeal to those trying to create a custom setup. Whether you prefer dark and sleek or a fun and vibrant vibe, you can design a custom PC that’s specific to your taste. Reviewing the basics of building your own PC will give you a strong foundation of knowledge that can get you started on the coolest DIY project ever.
Revamp Your Décor
If you consider your at-home workstation merely a spot to support your nine-to-five grind, you’re missing a valuable interior design opportunity. To personalize your office space at home, revamp the area with décor that speaks to your aesthetic and life outside of work.
Framed art pieces, fancy window drapes, colorful plant vases, and photos of family and friends—there are endless ways to upgrade your work area to feel more welcoming and individualized. If you need inspiration when designing your revamped workspace, consider how you decorated the rest of your home.
Incorporate Natural Lighting
Working in a space without any natural lighting can be a bit of a bummer and slightly disorienting, especially if it’s your everyday work spot. Reflect on various areas around the home that get a good amount of sunlight from the windows. If your current work-from-home setup doesn’t get any natural light, relocate it to a spot with a window that lets in a bit of nature.
