Design tips to create a stylish home office

Stylish home office interior design can help boost productivity and make work more enjoyable. Whilst any space can potentially double up as a workspace, a number of Jones homes make provision for a separate study /home office within the design. If this is something you would find useful, take a closer look at our Bayswater, Hollin, Connaught and Knightsbridge house types.

But whatever the space, working from home in style doesn’t need to be overly complicated. Here are some easy-to-follow tips on how to design a stylish home office:

 

Choose the Right Location

Choose a location for your home office that is quiet, well-lit, and has good ventilation. Ideally, a dedicated space away from distractions like the TV or kitchen.

 

Invest in a Good Desk and Chair

Invest in a high-quality desk and chair that is comfortable and functional. Consider ergonomics when selecting a chair and desk that will allow you to sit for long periods without discomfort.

 

Personalise Your Space

Personalise your home office space with art, family photos, and other personal items that inspire you. This will make your space feel more comfortable and inviting. But less can often be more, unnecessary clutter will not create a productive workspace.

Choose a Colour Scheme

Choose a colour scheme for your home office that is calming and conducive to productivity. Consider using neutral colours like white, beige, or grey, or add pops of colour with accessories like a coloured rug or artwork, and as it is a ‘home’ office, you may wish to give consideration to how the scheme fits with the rest of your homes interior.

 

Maximise Storage

Maximise storage in your home office with shelves, filing cabinets, and other storage solutions. This will help keep your space organised and tidy. A tidy office makes for a tidy mind!

 

Lighting

Lighting is crucial in home office interior design. Choose a space with natural light if possible, and invest in task lighting to avoid eye strain.

 

Add Plants

Plants not only add a touch of greenery to your home office but they also help improve air quality and boost productivity. Choose low-maintenance plants like succulents or a snake plant for example.

Designing a stylish home office doesn’t have to be complicated. With the right furniture, lighting, and personal touches, you can create a comfortable and productive workspace that inspires creativity and focus.
