3 min read
Have you landed a work from home (WFH) job? Or perhaps you are wanting to revamp the look and feel of your small home office? If either of these situations apply to you, then you have come to the right place!
In this blog, we will explore how you can decorate your small home office with charm and a unique style. Just because it is small does not mean that you need to compromise on the details!
Keep reading to find out exactly how you can fabulously decorate your small office space.
Stick To Your Colour Palette
Firstly, let’s make it clear that you should ideally stick to a consistent theme or colour palette for your home office. After all, the space is small, so numerous random bursts of different styles or colours can be an eyesore – not just for yourself, but also for others. So, when you have a colour palette in mind, make sure that you stick with it. No matter if you decide on neutrals or pastels, try to keep the overall look and aesthetic of your home office consistent.
Functional And Compact Furniture
Of course the most important parts of your home office include the office furniture, namely your desk and chair. Since you only have a small space, we recommend going for desks and tables with ample space underneath. This allows you to place cabinets and a bin, so that you have storage space. Similarly, you can opt for a desk that has drawers so that you don’t have to purchase additional storage units, making it highly functional. For chairs, we suggest that you choose a compact yet comfortable chair that can easily be tucked in towards the desk.
Task Lighting
If you have a small office space, chances are that you are dedicating a section of a room to be the office area. In terms of lighting, this means that you should ideally focus on task lighting to illuminate the office area. For example, pendant wall lights are a great way to highlight your office space without invading your space. In comparison to a desk lamp, this offers you better desk space! Plus, pendant lighting is modern and stylish.
Use The Wall Space For Storage
If you have a lot of usable wall space, then you should definitely consider turning it into a storage space. Floating shelves and hanging storage units are excellent for storing important items and/or documents that you might need for work. On top of this, you can easily grab what you need with minimal effort! Avoid building shelves that are too high to reach, however.
Add A Plant Or Two For Productivity
Studies have shown that incorporating indoor plants in an office space can help boost productivity and reduce stress. No matter how small your office space is, you can include a plant or two by simply purchasing a small one for your desk, such as a succulent, or incorporate a hanging plant basket that is suspended near and above your desk. While they make for excellent decoration, plants also help to improve indoor air quality.
