Decorating your workspace to suit your needs isn’t only essential but to improve your productivity. There are so many things one could do to achieve a well-functional and clutter-free working atmosphere. In this particular space, one will have to be intentional when it comes to decorating it, be it a small workplace or a larger one.
Create Space
Demarcate your space – If your office is part of a common space like the living room…in my case, portion out your space. You could do this with your desk or a table, even better with a movable partition, it gives the sense of privacy even though it’s in the midst of a common space other people have access to.
Colour Scheme
Colors play a huge role in decorating a space so being aware and aware of the color and its effects is important. This process will play a paramount role in your productivity. My workspace is in this case a mild gritted off-white.
Storage Compartments
Make sure your files and important documents are beautifully stored away, that way your work desk isn’t packed with so much clutter. Productivity and clutter aren’t the best of friends. Add shelves if necessary so you can neatly display your files, it also adds some sort of real office aesthetics to your workspace.
Furniture
Comfortability is an individual preference. Some people prefer to stand while they work. Personally, I believe there should be adequate provision for a good desk and a sitting set. Comfortability is key. Ikea sells a variety of functional desks that come with storage compartments.
Personalize your Workspace
Personalise the space by adding your favorite photos or artworks to create a focal point in your space without it being too overwhelming or distracting. Reach out for abstract prints instead of overwhelming ones, those work perfect for other spaces.
This is the time to add your scents – I have 2 of my favorite scents on my desk. Get something invigorating that will wake you up in the morning and something relaxing to tranquillise the atmosphere when you need it.
Display your stationery in beautiful and aesthetic pleasing recipients to add a touch of style to your office. Finally, make provision for a cup of tea or coffee on your work desk. Voila we are set to go, happy working!
