Home office: Building a space that works

Can you believe it? September is (literally) right around the corner! Summer is coming to a close, the kids are going back to school and most of our vacations are behind us for now. That means it’s time to kick it into full gear and get organized for the fall!

If you work from home, you know it’s easiest to be productive when you have a workspace that works for you! So how can you transform your home office into the place for productivity? Check out these ideas!

A lofty idea

The open concept of this loft workspace is a breath of fresh air compared to what’s often depicted as a small space. Home offices can end up being a bit of an afterthought—sometimes without even having any windows! This is the perfect option for keeping the air (and creativity) flowing freely!

Close it up

Depending on how you function best, you might find it’s better to close the doors behind you and fully immerse yourself in your work. If a loft open to the main area of the house doesn’t work for you, build yourself a room with lots of windows and double doors! When you’re in the mood to open up your space, you have the option to open the doors!

Take it outside

Sometimes a little change of scenery can really get the creative juices flowing and help keep productivity levels high! Create an outdoor space that you would be happy to call a home office when the weather is right. Soak up the view + work hard all at once!

Meet + greet

If your home office is your primary or only office, having a nice seating area for clients or business partners is a great idea. Meeting in the comfort of your home office can save huge amounts of time from having to run out to meet at a local coffeeshop.

Keep it simple

When space is a factor, it’s a good idea to keep the design simple + sweet. If you have to slide a desk in next to your bed, go for it! But the less clutter, the better! Consider some small storage bins for underneath your workspace to keep the room feeling light and airy.
