Creating a productive home office space

With social distancing becoming the new (temporary) normal, work-from-home has become more of a widespread trend. For those who aren’t used to working remotely, it can be quite an adjustment. Productivity rates can go down, bad habits might be formed and don’t forget about the unlimited snack breaks.

Thankfully, there’s another side of working from home – the energetic and creative one. Remote work can often yield better work than in the office, if it’s done right. But how do you nail down that flawless process? The most important step is to curate a home office space that works for you. Regardless of whether or not you have the time to plan out your space, these tips will help you quickly transform any space into your new office.

Pick your space

First, you need to choose where you want to set up your home office. Do you have a particular room that you can use just for work? Or maybe a secluded corner or nook within a larger room would suit your needs better. Whatever it may be, it’s important to pick a space that will allow for productivity and will also keep you from going crazy.

Space-saving furniture

Especially for those who had to make a quick transition to work-from-home, it can be tricky pulling together an entire fully-furnished home office on a whim. This is where it pays to be smart with your furniture selection. Whether you have a specific work desk or not, your setup should make the most of the space that you have available. No desk? Try using a card table, appropriately sized cabinet or any hard surface that you can spread your work out on.
