Top 3 Design Tips For Productivity In Your Home Office

Todd Saieva • Aug 31, 2021

The times have changed dramatically over the last two years, which has also affected how we work. More companies have relaxed their policies, allowing employees to work from home. First, it was out of necessity in response to the pandemic, but then many companies saw the benefits for their company and the morale of their workers.

In the right setup, an employee can perform as well, if not better, in a home office than another location. It saves time not wasted on commutes and money for companies that can downgrade to smaller brick and mortar locations.

The trick is making sure you have a designated home office that is set up for success. If you want to show your employer you can thrive and not just survive by working from home, it's time to make sure your home office is working for you and not against you.

Creating A Workspace That Promotes Productivity

Working from home sounds like a dream come true. Anyone who didn't already have a designated home office soon found out that's not always true. The lack of office space or a room that isn't set up for working in can be detrimental to your productivity.

The kids want your attention, the dog needs to be walked, and there's no organization. You're not going to be able to control all of the factors that impact how your workday plays out, but using savvy design tricks for a home office can make all the difference.

Organize & Declutter

Even if you only occasionally used this room as an office until recently, it's not too late to transform it completely. It's time to clean out the clutter, remove anything that's not necessary for your office, and get an organizational system in place. Even once you have the room organized, make it a point to continue to declutter regularly.

Careful Placement of Shelving

It's vital to have shelving or other forms of storage in place. However, make sure it's not blocking your view out the window or keeping natural light from coming in. And, even though you may need reminders about the work that needs done, having it at eye level can feel more defeating than motivational.

Wires, Trash & Other Details

It's the little things that can make your space feel cluttered, messy, and disorganized. No matter how professional and beautiful your home office looks, things like tangled wires or no designated trash area can ruin everything. Create a setup that takes every detail into consideration.
