Working from home? Here's the ideal decor and furniture

If you want to create a space where focus and efficiency flourish, follow our office design tips and your projects will manage themselves. Let's get started!

The small home office guide

For a functional office that also looks good, you first need a room or space away from where you sleep or relax. Your workspace also needs good lighting, so try complementing your desk with auxiliary light sources in the form of our lamps.

If you don't have an area just for work, rugs are a great way to create a division between spaces.

The key pieces: desk and chair

After a long day at work, you'll appreciate a comfortable chair and a good desk, as they'll help prevent the typical aches and pains in your back, neck and wrist, etc. Did you know that furniture made from natural wood boosts the flow of positive energy and that glass spurs you to work faster? Take note!

The influence of colour

The colour of your walls also influences your energy levels while you work – if they're painted in cheerful colours, you're already at an advantage. Fragrance is also important, so arrange some diffusers to refresh the air around your workspace.

An important point of order

Keeping your space tidy so you can find that all-important file in seconds is essential. With shelves and a display cabinet, you're sorted.

Personalise your workspace

Give work the green light with some plants, either real or artificial. They're so good for us! Plants help reduce stress, boost productivity and soften noise, among many other benefits.

Just make sure that your space isn't overloaded as it can stop you from concentrating and, finally, remember that getting dressed will make you feel more efficient.

If you've been paying attention, you'll notice the difference in your levels of creativity and productivity.
