Creating the Perfect Home Office

Telecommuting has been on the rise for the past few years, and it’s entirely likely that you have already begun working from home either part-time or full time. If this is the case, then a home office set up for productivity is more than just a luxury: it’s a necessity.

Our commercial painting contractors in Wayne, PA, have helped create the perfect atmosphere in offices in the area, but when it comes to creating your office at home, the rules are a bit different.

To create a productive home office, you should:

Have a Bit of Seclusion

While it’s tempting to convince yourself that you can ignore interruptions from pets, partners, children, or the siren song of the television, you must plan to have your home office in a quiet part of your house. Ideally, it will have a door that can shut out interruptions during your periods of work.

Additionally, it’s essential to keep your workspace strictly for work. That means that you should resist any attempts to use your office space as extra storage or anything except as your office.

Finally, keep things you know are going to be distracting out of your office space. If you know that having your phone will mean that you’ll spend more time on that than working, feel free to leave it in another room, so long as you don’t need it for whatever task you’ve set for yourself.

Fill the Space With Nature

Having access to windows and lots of natural light is beneficial to maintaining your attention during hard tasks. Since sunlight tends to be one of the most neutral lighting options available, it will allow you to work without adverse effects like eyestrain or anxiety.

If you want to, introduce some potted plants into your space as well. It will give you a chance to customize your space in a way that still serves the goal of getting work done, as plants offer a distraction that can also bring a sense of peace.

Choose the Right Colors

When considering what colors to paint your office walls, keep in mind the reason for its existence: to get work done. Because of this, it’s probably best to stay away from colors that are too relaxing, like pale blue, which is ideal for promoting quality sleep but not for productivity.

Instead, opt for shades of green tinged with yellow, as these have been shown to help promote alertness without straying into anxiety.
