Home Office Design in Baton Rouge: Modernizing Your Residential Workspace

As our daily routines change, so do the places where these routines happen. One difference is that many people are working from home. Whether working remotely has been permanent, temporary, or intermittent, your productivity and performance need more than the dining room table for an office space. When working from home, you need an area that is comfortable, organized, and reflects your taste and style. Here are a few ways you can modernize your home office.

 

Simplistic Home Office Design and Elements

Less is more.  A home office can quickly become overwhelmed and cluttered with both home and work items. It’s essential to have a boundary between your home and office when working remotely. A minimalistic design makes organization and structure easier to achieve. Your office equipment should have designated shelf space. Papers, files, and other supplies should be kept in drawers or cabinets. Having plenty of desk or counter space is also important, allowing you plenty of room to work and reduce clutter.

 

Emphasize Home Office Lighting

Your eyes go through a lot in any office space. Blue light from computer monitors and phone and tablet screens can fatigue your vision. This is further exasperating when you read and write under poor lighting. Leveraging the natural light in your home, in addition to adequately designed lighting, can dramatically influence your performance and comfort. Task lights, LED lamps, and an enhanced lighting design can completely transform your home office.

 

Ergonomic Home Office Furniture

Comfort begins with the right furniture. Ergonomically designed chairs and desks can make all the difference when it comes to your health and comfort. However, just because the furniture is designed with your wellness in mind, doesn’t mean it can’t offer some flair and style. With a wide variety of colors, materials, and design options, your designer can help you find the comfort you need, in addition to complementing the design of your space. Kneeling and standing features can also be incorporated to promote a healthy posture.
