Ideas And Inspiration For A Quirky Home Office Set-Up
Working from home provides a multitude of fantastic benefits, not least the ability to improve your daily work-life balance.
However, in order to be as productive as possible, you need to create the right area to be able to complete your professional tasks to the best of your ability, and even though sitting on the couch is great for television viewing, a home office is much more ideal for work.
You don’t need to recreate the plain white, boring aesthetic of the workplace office to be able to be productive, and with this in mind, here are some great ideas and practical inspiration for a quirky home office setup.
Don’t Just Include What You Need
Especially if you’re working with a small and intimate space, you’ll be tempted to create a minimalist office in order to encourage concentration and focus, and even though this will help to keep your study tidy, there’s no hint of fun and frivolity here.
Instead, perhaps you’re someone who naturally doodles while on the phone or enjoys regular cups of coffee to help you through the day; a large multi-colored notepad and some gel pens, together with a small Tassimo coffee machine, will help you to stay at your desk and still be you.
A Unique Timepiece
These days, even though wristwatches are still popular due to the development of smart watches and Fitbits, there has been a notable decline in the popularity of standard wall clocks, aside from generic workplaces and doctors’ waiting rooms.
Conversely, however, one of the most trending pieces of wall art that you could possibly bring into your home study is one of the statement cool pendulum wall clocks available from unique and specialized retailers.
Beautiful Indoor Plants
You may already have one or two indoor plants in your home, yet you may not be familiar with the numerous benefits of plants, and more specifically, how helpful they can be in your home office.
Not only does the presence of indoor plants help to clean and purify the air, but they can actually help to boost your core levels of concentration and even more advantageous, they can also positively contribute to your overall mood and state of mind.
Plants and flowers that will not only survive in the home office environment, but will positively thrive with light and water, include the following:
English ivy
Money tree
Snake plant
Spider hanging basket
Lucky bamboo
Red prayer plant
A Mood Board
As well as the standard photographs of your beloved pets and family photographs, you could have a mood board on the wall above your desk, created exclusively by you and for you.
This mood board could include magazine articles interviewing famous people who you feel inspired by, postcards of faraway destinations you would like to visit, and meaningful quotes or even singular words that you feel inspired and motivated by.
Mood boards are simple, yet effective, ways of entirely personalizing your home office and helping you to succeed in anything you set your mind to.
