Three moves to improve your home office mood

We’ve officially hit the January blahs and it certainly feels like there is no end to working from home. If you are looking to shake things up in your home office space there are a few changes that can add instant mood improvement. It might surprise you that the best moves are not always aesthetic. 

SOLID ORGANIZATION

Getting your space set up and organized around zones is the key to being able to tidy things away at the end of the workday. Decide what the key functions are of your particular work tasks and set the room up with dedicated space to accommodate each functional requirement. For example, a beautiful surface for computer work, an area to socialize with visitors and flexible storage were key features of this space.

EXTRA STORAGE

Despite all the opportunities afforded by the digital age, some old school comforts like shelving for books you need to reference, a place to tuck away supplies like paper and ink as well as any systems you use that have paper-based elements. Unifying all of those with boxes, folders and sleeves in a consistent theme or finish was essential to keep it all visually appealing and easy on the eyes.

INSPIRATION

No space is complete without something to inspire the view and original artwork is never, ever a mistake. In this case our client selected a beautiful piece by Robert Lemay. Art is often the jumping off point for the designs we create in our client’s homes. Having a special piece to lift your mood is as important as good wifi and adequate lighting.
