Decoration tips for your home office


Lately, we've heard and read a lot about decorating our workspaces with plants; not only to improve the air quality of the office, but to improve our mood and enhance the look of our work rooms, whether it's a small desk or a large office.

The health benefits of surrounding ourselves with plants and proper decoration are endless, since, in the end, we spend most of our day at work and much of it, sitting at our desks.

So, whether you work from home all the time or occasionally go to an office while teleworking on other days, here are some ideas on how you can decorate your workspace to improve your mood and create a harmonious place full of good energies.

Home office + 1 day in the office, the most widespread option

If you work in a private office, it is likely that you have had to telework in recent months, so your situation will probably force you to create an improvised home office.

To do this, it is best to look for natural light. So, go to the window to set up your desk. On the other hand, take advantage of the walls and shelves to place plants that purify the air in the place.

We recommend using plant stands to optimize space. Plant stands are definitely one of the best solutions for "home offices" as they are not simple planters. Its design contributes to improving the overall appearance of each space and is linked to the furniture. Chances are, though, your desk is the best surface to place a plant or two, or three... or simply place a large plant or a collection of small succulents.

A terrarium is also a beautiful option for decorating plants on your desk. Terrariums combine the beauty of the plants with that of the container, which usually has decorative layers. So, a terrarium is more than just a plant in a pot, it is a composition that fits very well into office furniture.

Now

that you have a better idea of what you can do to beautify your desk and provide daily inspiration even at work, it's important to evaluate which plants are best suited for your workspace and its needs.

Of course, lighting is the first thing you should consider when choosing the right plant for your space; however, the maintenance and level of care you have to give these plants also play an important role in this choice.

Choose plants that fill dark corners, add green to the shelves and play with ceramic planters, which will add a warm touch to your home office. Opt for plants that are easy to maintain and that are not demanding with care.

Plants are an easy way to brighten up your desk and make you feel fulfilled every day ("Did I water it today? Yes?). And they also have an advantage: some types of plants can purify the air in your office. And again, if you don't think your gardening skills are up to par, try a low-maintenance plant variety, such as succulents.

Simple ideas to

improve the office

environment

Other simple ideas to maintain a good work environment in your home, which improves your concentration and keeps you active, is to surround yourself with what you love most. That's why you can hang a cable to view the pictures of your friends and family. Not only is it fun to look at a photo cable, but it will also help you stay optimistic.

On the other hand, instead of sticking

papers on the wall or sticking passwords on the side of your computer, use colored note holders. Or make them more fun by using them to write about them, uplifting quotes or messages that keep you going all day.

Also, instead of having the cork or whiteboard in front of your desk full of notes and past tasks, add some decorative embellishments for a touch of personality. Also opt for fun magnets and pins for your magnetic or cork board.

You can also hold the filing cabinets with decorative bookends. There are plenty of fresh, modern, and even quirky options that you'll love. We promise that your books (and by books, we mean files, manuals, and folders filled with an infinite amount of paperwork) will look much more supported by a pretty object.

In addition, we encourage you to swap your boring mug for one with more personality. You know you'll have a half-full cup of coffee on your desk at all times, so instead of using the company mug, keep your caffeine on point with something that suits your style better.

Finally, even if the rest of your desk is simple, a colored pen will make your work a lot more fun. Don't you think so? Remember when you went to school and took out your colored pens with which to take notes or write notes with little hearts for one of your classmates. You can relive that feeling every day by using some pens that make you smile.

The last details to make a difference

in your workplace

We can give you many decorative tips, but in the end, the most important thing is this: make your space your own.

Use picture frames, plants, decorative cup holders, or even a lamp you like. Having your personalized workplace will make you feel more engaged with your team and increase your productivity by up to 32%.

Also, remember to take advantage of the windows and plants to treat yourself to fresh air and the feeling of freedom. But don't you have a window? Bring nature to you! Having images of landscapes, flowers, and plants nearby will help you recover from demanding activities and reduce your stress levels.

And finally, another piece of advice: take care of the details. Try some of these ideas without getting too complicated:

- Fun mouse pads

: Most of the time, mouse pads tend to be boring, or very boring. Opt to buy a custom-made mat to illuminate your workplace. They can be with images from your favorite TV shows, movies, or musicians.

- Depending on the lighting in your home, you may need a desk lamp. A lamp can add a great atmosphere to your workspace. But instead of opting for the more traditional-looking business-looking ones, why not choose something more homey?

- Finally, if you have a large space, consider setting up a comfy couch or daybed, a perfect option when you want to step away from your desk to take a nap, relax, or catch up on reading a journal.
