The home office has its own features: this place should be adjusted to the work style and at the same time be comfortable. It is ideal when the office is located in a separate room, but if this is not possible, you can allocate for this purpose a part of the living room or bedroom.
Each piece of furniture you choose to work with should be functional and comfortable. It is especially important to pay attention to the choice of table, armchair and storage equipment at sohomod store.
Choose a functional table
One of the central elements of the interior in any office is the table. That is why it is necessary to be especially responsible for its choice. The optimal size of the desktop for the home is 1,200 x 600 cm, but there are more often models with a size of about 1,200 x 700 cm and even 1,200 x 800 cm. Such a desktop will have a desktop computer, but it will occupy a large area.
Remember that when we leave the table, we usually push the chair back. To do this, you must have at least 35 cm behind the chair (from back to wall). With a rotating chair, this space should be on the side.
If your desk does not have a storage facility, you can buy one or more shelving stands.
Choosing a chair
For real laborers, soft chairs will be more comfortable for those who spend a lot of time sitting. But chairs with a hard seat also have an advantage: their owners will get up more often, which is useful. It is better to choose chairs made of natural materials. If you decide to buy a chair made of fabric, there are special covers for these options, which can be removed, as well as a special soak. Leather armchairs are suitable for fans of more respectable and expensive interiors.
Space planning
The best way to position the table is by the window because we are all aware of the benefits of natural light. But remember, if you put the table near the window itself, access to it for airing and washing will be difficult. If possible, leave 20 cm between the window and the table for the curtains and the radiator, and another 35 cm to approach the window. Dense curtains will help to avoid any glare on the computer screen and any deterioration of its visibility in general.
It’s better to position the table so that you sit facing the door – it’s mentally comfortable.
When planning the space, you should also remember that office armchairs with armrests and wheels are usually larger than their counterparts’ dining rooms due to the wide leg with wheels – about 65 x 65 cm, but a normal chair has the size of 45 x 55 cm.
Storage and decor
It is desirable that the wall at which you set up the table is decorated. You can decorate it or place additional storage systems on it. This option is suitable for offices where there is no extra space for extra shelving.
If you have shelving units at the floor itself, you need space to open the doors and sit down at the open shelves (space equal to the length of the door plus another 35 cm).
Light
The light from the office window isn’t enough, of course. It is recommended to provide both general room lighting and additional light at your workplace. Whatever the style of the office, you can place it on the wall of a wall or place floor lamps on the floor. This will lead to the comfort of the room. Modern trends in interior design suggest that the walls are decorated in a neutral color and multilevel lighting. Such a solution will contribute to a greater focus on the work.
Diversify the interior
How often have you caught yourself thinking that your eyes are tired of the monotony of the interior or, conversely, too bright colors do not allow you to concentrate and constantly distract attention? For many, these things happen at the subconscious level without being noticed, but this does not mean that the interior does not affect the productivity of our work.
For convenience, we need to look for a balance by adding relief textures or fabrics: they make the brain work more effectively, stimulating tactile receptors.
Rest corner
For productive work, you need to take breaks, so it is desirable to equip a comfortable place where you can quietly enjoy 30 minutes of rest. A small soft chair with a coffee table is ideal for this purpose. If the rest for you is a physical discharge, you can organize a small fitness corner.
