Easy Ways To Create A Motivating Home-Based Work Station

By Melissa Powell


If you have a business or home-based job and plan on making do with the cramped kitchen counter top or dining table as your primary work area, know that you may risk losing your clientele, business partners, or worse, bucks early on. Before this happens, be sure to establish a permanent work station that you can truly call your own.

Converting a spare bedroom is the ideal scenario, but if this isn't possible, a tiny corner or any unused area in the den, study area, or living room can do the trick. Even the space under the stairs can also serve the purpose as long as it is fitted with an appropriately sized, ergonomic work desk for comfort especially during those days that you would have to work for extended hours.

Update lighting fixtures to inject a modern vibe into your work space. Free up your desk top by having sconce wall light fixtures mounted. They give off a delicate, subdued brightness that will not strain the eyes. But for pen-and-paper writing tasks or when reading printed materials, make sure to invest in top-quality task lamps.

You can establish the mood that you want by way of a fresh coat of paint on the walls to be echoed by the accessories. If you want a dynamic, active vibe, opt for splashes of red, yellow, and orange paint on the focal wall or via the material of your upholstered chair, back cushion, or trash bin. Doing this will add a warm, welcoming air to the space. On the other hand, if you prefer a setting with muted, more soothing tones, then choose blue and green hues instead.

Get organized. Office interior designers advise keeping desk top accessories minimal so as to do away with visual clutter. Allot a specific place for every item, and that includes your writing apparatus, documents, and bills so they won't take up much space that will otherwise make your work area look messy. Make use of properly labeled storage cases and boxes with lids where you can hide knick knacks and other tiny things. Consider commissioning the services of an interior design Singapore company for the creation and installation of wall mounted shelving units where you can neatly keep books, glossies, and other references you often use.
