Creating the perfect home office space is not an easy task. It takes a lot of time and effort to get everything just right, from the lighting to the furniture, but it’s worth it in the end. In this post, we will give you four tips on creating your perfect home office space!

1 Ensure You Have Natural Lightning

There are two types of lighting in an office. One is artificial and the other natural, but which one should you choose? This depends on what kind of work you do. If it’s desk-based, then using a combination of both will be perfect for working during dark winter months or at night time when artificial lighting can make reading your documents difficult. However, if more delicate tasks such as drawing, sewing or knitting require good visibility without glare from light sources, then natural lightning would be best suited to this task.

Ensure that wherever possible, there is a window so that enough sunlight comes into the room throughout each day and ensures any overhead lights provide either daylight spectrum bulbs or full spectrum. In terms of location, try to avoid having a window facing west as this will cause the room to be too dark.

2 Use Ergonomic Furniture 

If you are working long hours at your desk, it is essential to use ergonomic furniture to avoid aches and pains. This will also stop any repetitive strain injuries that occur when using a computer or laptop too often for extended periods of time. You should have an adjustable chair with lumbar support and a footrest that can be used if the height of your office desk does not allow enough leg room underneath.

Comfortable keyboard trays and alternative keyboards can help to reduce tendonitis by reducing pressure on wrists caused by repeatedly typing for several hours over many days without breaks from this activity. A wrist rest may also aid against these issues.

3 Get The Perfect Temperature 

Sitting in a room that is too cold or hot for most of your working hours can cause discomfort and distraction. Many factors affect how warm we feel; some include humidity levels, our metabolic rate (how fast you burn energy), and body size. Humans have an internal thermostat to keep us at 37 degrees celsius, so what feels like a ‘normal’ temperature will vary from person to person, depending on their metabolism.

To maintain this consistent temperature, it’s recommended by ergonomists to get a small electric fan heater and also place a bowl of ice cubes underneath your desk chair before work starts each day which then melts throughout the morning, providing refreshing coolness against the back of your legs, or just consider getting that air conditioning repair done.

4 Add Some Plants

Plants are always a great addition to any office or home space as they help maintain humidity levels, provide oxygen, and clean the air. There’s no need for expensive greenhouses here; just five indoor plants can do this job! The most common plant that people use in their offices is an English Ivy which absorbs harmful toxins from the air such as benzene, formaldehyde and trichloroethylene.

In conclusion: a well-designed home office is not an easy task, but if you follow these four tips, it will be perfect in no time at all!
