Tip 2: Add life.
Add color and vitality to your home office with some plant life. Not only will you be improving indoor air quality, you’ll be adding beauty to the space. To save precious desk- space, consider a few hanging planters, opting for plants that thrive indoors, such as spider plants or jade.
Tip 3: Don’t forget function!
As the wheels turn and your creative juices start flowing, nothing can be more distracting than a creaking ceiling fan or a light that just doesn’t do the trick. A simple switch can make all the difference. While a desk lamp might solve your lighting problem, why not opt for a fixture that can solve both of those issues at the same time? Tech-savvy ceiling fan options from Hunter like the SIMPLEconnect smart fan line, allow you to adjust the light and fan from your phone or smart home assistant. Such details will help as you are sitting in back-to-back meetings to a more productive work environment.
Tip 4: Get personal.
You may be doing business, but when it comes to decorating, it’s time to mix in the personal. Items such as photographs of friends and family or reminders of previous accomplishments will bring you joy and help you stay motivated. Whatever you do, don’t settle for completely bare walls!
