Working from home is convenient, but not always easy. Sometimes it is hard to concentrate and it is easy to get distracted by any household chores. We know it has its advantages, but of course in light of recent testimonials like Mark Zuckerberg’s, we still have a way to go and it’s not so clear that telecommuting is here to stay. As far as we are concerned, we can only give you some tips to create that relaxed and functional environment where you can spend the long hours of the working day. Here are some tips:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Selecting the right location for your home office<\/h3><\/div>

This is one of the essential steps. If possible, try to find a quiet part of the house to create a distinct work area that doesn’t blend in with home life.<\/p>\n

\n

A good workspace generates a sense of well-being while encouraging productivity and creativity. Ergonomic and functional furniture, the right lighting, storage and organization can help you create an optimal work environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

In our office furniture catalog<\/a> you can find different options to accommodate your workspace.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Home office in small spaces<\/h3><\/div>

If you don’t have enough space, you can make the most of your bedroom or living areas, but try to be creative. Shelving<\/a> works great as a divider to limit distractions and segregate areas between home and work.<\/p>\n

You can also opt for integrated solutions such as the alternatives offered by Alf Dafre’s Day Collection<\/a> where you can design a TV and work space in the same piece of furniture.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Lighting<\/h3><\/div>

Studies show that poor lighting can be detrimental to productivity at work, as it can lead to drowsiness and difficulty maintaining focus and motivation. On the other hand, intense artificial light can trigger headaches and migraines. Try to place your desk near a window to flood you and your work with natural light. Exposure to natural light will help your body follow its natural circadian rhythm, so it knows when to be alert and energetic, and when to feel sleepy.<\/p>\n

Think carefully about ergonomics<\/h3><\/div>

How you sit at your desk is key. The greatest pressure on the discs in your lumbar spine occurs when you are in a sitting position and leaning forward.<\/p>\n

To protect your spine and neck, invest in an ergonomic chair, ideally with adjustable armrests to support your forearms while using a keyboard and mouse. You’ll want your forearms to be approximately level with the keyboard and mouse pad to reduce unwanted strain on your wrists.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Stua’s Gas<\/a> chair is a sturdy option that offers a curved backrest that perfectly supports the back. While the Egoa chair<\/a> adapts to the position of the back accompanying our movement. If you are looking for a higher level of adjustability, the Lotus Conference<\/a> ergonomic office chair is adjustable in height, tilt and also has a flexible, tilting backrest.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

and the plants…<\/h3><\/div>

Plants not only brighten up a home office environment, the benefits of houseplants go beyond aesthetics.<\/p>\n

“Simply enriching a previously austere space with plants increased productivity by 15 percent,” says lead author Marlon Nieuwenhuis in a conversation with Science Daily. Our green friends can induce feelings of relaxation, tranquility and simply existing, which can aid mental recovery and relieve stress.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Add a touch of color<\/h3><\/div>

Your desk space should be a place where you enjoy spending time. It should be a reflection of your personality. Add artwork and photo frames to make working enjoyable.<\/p>\n

In our catalog of decorative accessories<\/a> you will find different options that can fit your space.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

and not to disturb…<\/h3><\/div>

Although it may seem like a no-brainer, create a “Please do not disturb” sign.<\/p>\n

If you share your home with others, creating a “Please do not disturb” sign can be a gentle reminder that you are in work mode, rather than home mode. It can be difficult for those around you to remember this crucial fact, especially if you are working in a living space. But a simple sign could save you a lot of distractions so you can concentrate on your business.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":21635,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[859],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21636","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tips"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/oboemuebles.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21636","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/oboemuebles.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/oboemuebles.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oboemuebles.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oboemuebles.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21636"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/oboemuebles.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21636\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24374,"href":"https:\/\/oboemuebles.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21636\/revisions\/24374"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oboemuebles.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21635"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/oboemuebles.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21636"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oboemuebles.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21636"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oboemuebles.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21636"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
