After the coronavirus outbreak, millions of people started working from home. Working from is a totally new thing to a lot of people, and it includes a lot of lifestyle changes as well. When you went to your office every morning before quarantine, you have probably never noticed how your office is built to be comfortable and accessible to every worker. Your home office also should make you feel comfortable, energetic, and inspire you. 

Most people do not really pay attention to the environment design or the decorations of their home office. If you really want to have peak productivity, energy, creativity, inspiration as well as motivation while working every single day, you must really make time to decorate your home office. Plus, decoration does not mean all colorful and messy, it depends on how you want to feel in your home office. Below are our tips to decorate your home office beautifully. 

1. Comfortable, but not too comfortable

You can add throw pillows and blankets to your chair to make it cozier. If you sit for a long period of time working, it is crucial that your chair is comfortable as well as spacious. Moreover, you can also have a little couch or loveseat to relax and take a break after working for a while. 

But I do not recommend having a bed in your home office. I personally tend to lie down and sleep on the bed when I am tired, so it’s best to exclude the bed in the first place. On the other hand, plants and candles are great things to make the atmosphere of the room more relaxing and cozy. Give them a try. 

2. Clean and minimalist

One of the most important things to always keep in mind is that your space should be clean and organized. It sounds cliche, I know. Even though it doesn’t seem much of a big deal to be messy and disorganized at times, but messy space makes your mind messy as well. Therefore, if your desk is cluttered and your office is messy, you can not really concentrate on your work. 

If you tend to be messy and disorganized, I recommend you try being minimalist. Use digital journals and notes instead of sticky notes and papers. It saves both time and the environment. Minimalism is not about having fewer items, it’s about having the things you really need. So think twice before buying that pink pen with feathers for the second time. And go for neutral colors, that are neither too bright nor too dark. 

Once you rearrange and decorate your home office minimally, you will feel light inside instantly. No clutters, no mess, and no distractions. You can focus solely on your work. 

3. Add your favorite decorative items

If you have any collections or decorative items you love, you should really add them to your home office. Being all organized and minimalist does not mean you should have nothing in your office. Your home office should be personalized just like other parts of your home. Therefore, add your favorite decorative items, even if it is a toy or anything exotic. It will make your office more unique, and not dull or boring. Be creative!

Plants, candles, artworks, rugs, and desk accessories are such amazing options too! They are not only safe choices, they can also make your office more lively, cozy, and colorful. If you are worried about the minimalist aspect of all of these, don’t. You can still be minimalist with the right type of designs. I personally love plants. It acts ac such great decor, as well as good for the air. If you have favorite artists, authors, musicians, or movies, you can put some artworks or posters of them. Again, your office should represent your unique style and interests.
