After a year full of changes, it’s clear that workspaces no longer look the same – and they never will again. Home office decoration has become the new adaptation. We have gathered a series of practical tips to help you make the most of this unusual situation while boosting your productivity and feeling comfortable at home.

Optimize Your Home Office Workspace

If possible, dedicate one room to your workspace and set it up as follows:

• Make sure the window is located to the right or left of your desk so you’re not blinded by direct sunlight or distracted by outside movement.
• When choosing your workspace, pick a place where you can sit comfortably and avoid frequent distractions. Stay away from common living areas such as the kitchen or dining table. However, if space is limited and you must set up your desk in one of these areas, place a small desk next to the dining table to “section off” your workspace and habits.

Comfortable Office Furniture for Productivity

Do not overlook the comfort of your office chair. Choose it wisely – back pain is one of the most common issues office employees face. Select an ergonomic chair with lumbar support for better posture. For example, the Paul or Lily office chairs are excellent choices. In a more Scandinavian style, the Glavo swivel chair or the Hyge B4 chair are practical, stylish, and very comfortable!

Invest in an adjustable desk. It will transform your daily routine! An adjustable table allows you to set the desk height perfectly and alternate between sitting and standing positions. This improves posture and reduces back pain. Check out the adjustable desk from the “Boring” collection, also available in an electronic version for maximum comfort.

Use a second screen placed at a natural eye level so you don’t have to look up or down for long periods. Your neck muscles will thank you, and you’ll avoid stiffness and tension.

Improve Atmosphere with Light and Plants

Add visual and acoustic divisions to create a balanced home office atmosphere:

• Plants are the easiest and most natural way to create a visual divider. They’re easy to move, giving flexibility in your home office decoration. Wooden planters can also improve the acoustics in your workspace. For example: GrowWIDE.
• Adjust light with curtains to avoid too much direct sunlight, which strains the eyes. By slightly covering the window, you reduce glare and fatigue.
• Let natural sunlight in occasionally – it has antibacterial properties and can significantly improve your mood.
• On dark winter days, add a table lamp such as the Atollo lamp or AGI lamp. Both are stylish and provide perfect lighting for focused work.

Create a Healthy Indoor Climate

Ensure a healthy climate by airing your office five times a day for about 10 minutes – enough time to make your morning coffee. Fresh air boosts your energy.

Bring nature indoors: add indoor plants to purify the air and increase humidity. They are excellent for overall health. Discover the perfect combination to decorate your workspace: GrowOn + GrowWide.

Studies show that office plants significantly increase job satisfaction, self-reported concentration, and perceived air quality. Green workspaces boost employee engagement by making them feel more involved physically, cognitively, and emotionally.

Boost Creativity in Your Home Office

Enhance your creativity by making your tasks visually attractive and drawing inspiration from your surroundings:

• Hang posters or paintings – don’t hesitate to choose creative and inspiring artwork. The wooden monkey by Kay Bojesen could bring charm to your desk.
• Add green plants to create a dynamic and ever-changing element in your workspace. Plants change color, grow towards the light, and bloom.
• If you don’t have enough floor or shelf space, hang plants! Looking at fresh greenery is refreshing and motivating.
• Add one or two self-watering indoor planters. They’re a great way to decorate and create a cozy, uplifting atmosphere.

Increase Productivity with Plants

Boost your productivity with plants! They can improve efficiency by up to 15% while bringing nature into your workspace.
