In order to make your home office truly yours, be sure to make it comfortable. This set of tips will help you put those finishing touches on your home office to make it as comfortable as possible.
Make Your Chair Comfortable
By now, you've already decided what chair you're going to use. If it's not the most comfortable, use pillows or back supports to make it easier to sit on.
Monitor Distance
Make sure that your monitor is at a good distance from you. You'll want it close enough that you can see and read things on your monitor, but not so close as to strain your eyes.
Personalize Your Desk
Find one or two things that represent you and display them on your desk. These can be things like a picture, a small toy, or an heirloom. Try not to have too many, as it will cause clutter.
Music
Don't be afraid to play some of your favorite music. As long as you like it, and it helps you to be more productive, go for it. Most computers can play CD's, or you can get radio stations on the Internet.
Paint
Painting your office can be a great way to add your personal touch. Get creative and pick your favorite colors and textures. Finish it with a nice border, and your office will look great!
Bring in Nature
Bringing in nature will add class and style to your home office. Here are some ideas:
A plant for your desk
A corner tree
A hanging waterfall
Sounds of nature
Ergonomics
Make sure that you have comfortable tools to make your time working as easy as it can be. Here are some ideas:
Ergonomic keyboard
Wrist pad
Foot stool or massager
Slightly reclined chair
Lumbar cushion
Artwork
Spoil yourself with a bit of artwork in your home office. Whether it's new or you found it at a second hand store, make sure it says you, and that you're willing to look at it every day.
Even if you have everything you could possibly need in your home office, if it's not organized, you're not going to get much done. This next set of tips will help you organize so you can get the most out of your office.
Less is More
It's great to have more than enough office supplies, but make a spot away from your desk area to store them. Have only what you need in and on your desk. For example: one notebook, one sticky notepad, two or three pens, etc.
Put Things in Reach
Make sure you have pens, paper, paperclips, etc. easily reachable from your chair. If you don't have desk drawers, have small containers on your desk with these items in them.
Noise
It's important to keep the noise level to a minimum in your home office, especially if clients will be coming into it. You don't want your client to have to compete with a TV or a crying baby.
