For Pamela Paz, CEO of the John Richard Group, owner of the brands: John Richard, the largest company of furniture solutions as a service, and Tuim, the first subscription residential furniture company in the country, there is a certain care in choosing of the ideal environment.
“Choose a place that doesn’t get a lot of outside noise, like the street, or where people in the house have to pass by often, like the kitchen. Ideally, this space should be the quietest to help you focus.
It is possible to take advantage of some corners of the bedroom or even of the living room, because the most important thing is knowing how to create a routine and delimit the environments”, he adds.
2. Value for the organization of space
Being organized is key to ensuring productivity, even more so in a small home office. Papers, threads, pens, diary and all other objects must be in their place and organized. A solution for those who work with many documents and printouts, for example, is to organize them in folders or even boxes.
Opt for organizational countertops, shelves, cabinets and drawers, they don’t take up much space, can be repositioned when needed and will still help you keep everything organised.
Another important tip is the use of planners which can be installed in front of your countertop. They help remember appointments and meetings, as well as being decorative and help with schedules and discipline.
3. Choose comfortable furniture
We know that there are countless tables, chairs and shelves with an innovative design, however, when choosing how to furnish the workplace, it is necessary love for comfort. “However incredible and modern a chair, for example, may be, the ideal is that it is comfortable, ergonomic and adjustable, since you will spend hours in it,” Paz points out.
Furthermore, it is possible to rent all the furniture necessary for the home office, which guarantees time and money savings, flexibility, practicality and zero maintenance worries.
4. Personalize the environment
Having a personalized workspace is one of the coolest and most personal home office ideas. Potted plants, frames, stationery items and even the color palette of the environment allows you to make it more beautiful and pleasant while carrying out your duties.
“Bet on light and neutral colors, as they contribute to a visually larger space, as well as bringing lightness to the environment which allows for a more peaceful routine,” concludes Pamela.
