With more people starting to make a sufficient income online, it is no surprise that home offices are becoming more prevalent around the world today. However, many people who first begin working in their personal home office often do not have the first idea of how to actually decorate it!
Fish tanks for example are seen in many ‘standard’ commercial offices and are actually a wonderful addition to a home office. Not only do they look attractive but the soothing effects of trickling water and fish going about their everyday business makes us human beings feel calm and at ease with the world.
If you purchase a small sofa, this gives people a comfortable place to sit and when your visitors come round you don’t have to place them on small uncomfortable office chairs when talking to them over business matters. For people working at home, a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere should be on the top of the list of one’s priorities. You may even want to buy some magazines and maybe even a few books to place under your coffee table for not only your visitors, but also for your own down-time.
Many home offices have plain coloured walls and maybe even bookshelves that make effective partitioning for a bland wall. There are certain colours that are not recommended for an office , aggressive colours such as red can actually make you feel agitated and stressed. Colours such as browns and creams are a good shade for an office as these have been proven to be calming and beneficial to one’s overall well-being.
The way you dress your windows will also have a profound affect on your mood and your work out-put. Struggling to see your pc screen due to screen glare can easily be overcome by using Venetian blinds as you’ll be able to adjust the louvres to provide you with natural light in which to work and prevent the sun blinding you. Here at Terrys Fabrics we have a superb range of Venetian blinds in a wide range of colours to suit your home office décor beautifully. We also have an stunning range of curtain poles for those who prefer to use curtains as their window dressing to give their office a more informal look.
So remember, when looking to decorate your home office try to add things that make you feel happy, like pictures of family and friends mixed with soothing colours and traditional décor. Decorating and creating your home office should be a fun and relaxing time, so decorate it in stages and only decorate the office with the things you feel most at ‘home’ with.
